Trenna Packer entries close on 15 May 2021
The Society is seeking a range of Nature images from members in order to enter the Trenna Packer Interclub competition again this year. We are required to compile a set of six projected images on the topic of New Zealand Nature with the limitation that only one image in the set can be entered by anyone member.
Our annual exhibition is the opportunity to showcase the best work of our members to family, friends and the public and we try to include work from each member.
Current members of WPS are invited to submit up to three images to be considered for selection for the exhibition.
We are back after a small hiatus with a new issue!
Inside this issue, you’ll find articles on Personal photography projects, an interview with WPS member Fred Wotton, who has been an active photographer for 72 years, Some images from our recent Mobile Competition, a review of one of Canon’s last 35mm SLR’s the EOS-3 among other great articles.
We hope you enjoy this month’s magazine.
A question we get asked a lot is why should you join a camera club, society or organisation. With social media being such a fundamental part of any growing photographers education these days, camera clubs can seem like a remnant of older generations.
Modern camera clubs have thankfully evolved somewhat with the times and accessibility of photography. These days you should be able to find something to suits your personal needs, whether you are a seasoned photographer or just starting out with your smartphone. Either way, if you have an interest in photography there are many good reasons to think about joining a camera club.

Closing Date for Entries: On or before 25 March (midnight)
For 2021 we are once again looking to celebrate new and emerging forms of photography with a Mobile Photography Competition. This competition aims to give more opportunities to photographers on the go. We are looking for new and different approaches to photography and images showing the vision possible with a modern smartphone. With this competition running during February, it’s our chance to help celebrate the New Zealand Summer and our Beautiful city with the camera you always have with you, your smartphone!
A warm welcome to 2021 from all of us at The Wellington Photographic Society. We trust you all had a relaxing break after a very eventful year.
2021 promises to be a very exciting year for our society with a great variety of events and activities planned. We kick off in a relaxed social manner a barbecue this Saturday at Carlucciland (see link below for details)
