Each year, photography clubs from across the Wellington region come together to compete for bragging rights and spiffy trophies for best print. Technical skill doesn’t necessarily guarantee a place in the top 3, but a good eye and submitting a photo deftly encapsulates the theme will take you far.
Unfortunately, we have decided to postpone our AGM. Due to the current level 4 lockdown, the uncertainty around its possible extension and to look after our members, friends and whanau, we’ve made the decision to postpone our 2021 AGM this Thursday.
This is the WPS Annual Competition for Projected Images which is open to all members of the society and is a great chance to share your work with other club members. These will be presented and winners announced by this year’s competition judge at the meeting. Judge: TBD
The Wellington Photographic Society Annual Exhibition opening night is on the 13th of July from 7pm.
Come see the best images our members have captured as well as the winning images of our Competitions. 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.
Te Auaha Gallery | 14-27 July 2021
Hours: 10am – 6pm weekdays | 10am – 4pm weekends.
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.
