For those who couldn't make it to the meeting, here are the main points:

Guest Speaker

Our guest speaker for the night was Sam Nerrie.  Sam talked about the things that inspire her photography in the local area, how she 'chases' some photos (especially those involving coming storms) and gave some very helpful tips to budding photographers on how to be ready for great photographing opportunities.

Sam's PowerPoint presentation illustrated some of her work, including several photos which have won places in international competitions.  There's no doubt that Sam's work is an inspiration to others and we were fortunate to have her spend the time with us.

Sam also runs training courses, details for which are on her website.

A photography workshop called "Make the most of your holiday snaps" will be held at the Bermagui Library on Tuesday 24 January from 11:00am until 2:00pm.

The workshop covers the basics of organising, editing and sharing your photos, including the use of Flickr, so is of direct relevance to club members.

A second workshop called "Connect, share, create: digital technology for everyone" will be held at the Eden Library the following Day (25 January), also from 11:00am until 2:00pm.

While covering some of the same ground as the previous day, the Eden workshop will concentrate more on internet use, social media and how to tell a story with digital media.
