SUMMARY:From Boots to Dragons
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a timed photographic adventure from the heights of Mount Victoria to a legendary dragon’s lair. \nBeginning at the Tararua Tramping Club\, we’ll stroll downhill along footpaths with sweeping harbour views\, colourful houses\, heritage buildings\, and plenty of Wellington character. Along the way\, you’ll tackle creative\, slightly cryptic photo challenges designed to spark imagination rather than speed. \nNo technical expertise required — just a camera (or phone)\, comfortable shoes (the route will cover 2-3 kms\, mostly downhill)\, and a sense of fun. \nAdventure awaits… and the dragon guards the finish line at the Welsh Dragon Bar. There you can finish with your chosen molten gold refreshment. \nThursday 23rd of February: Doors 7pm\, Meeting Starts 7.30pm

DESCRIPTION:Bruce Girdwood – Going for your PSNZ Honours \nThe Photographic Society of New Zealand (PSNZ) has a system of honours\, with three levels of distinctions – Licentiate\, Associateship and Fellowship.  Each level requires the photographer to demonstrate an increasing level of photographic competence and artistry. \nIn this session\, Bruce will give us an introduction to the PSNZ honours system – what it is\, the benefits of going for an honour\, what you have to do to submit\, and what is expected for a successful set. \nDuring his presentation\, Bruce will talk about some recent successful honours sets.

SUMMARY:Astrophotography for beginners with Keith Molloy
DESCRIPTION:We’re hosting a tutorial on astrophotography. This will be run by the local astrophotographer Keith Molloy. \nThe cost will be $80 for members of the general public and $60 for Wellington Photographic Society members. Numbers are limited to 35 so get in quick. \nThe format for the day will be an indoor tutorial run by Keith followed by a practical session on the south coast that evening. The level will be targeted at both beginners and those looking to improve their skills. This is a fantastic opportunity to learn more about astrophotography. \nWe will have an alternate day for the practical session if the weather is not playing ball on the day. \nIf you want to know more about Keith then here is some information: \nI first took up photography about 30 years ago but became interested in astrophotography about 7 years ago. \nI enjoy photographing the Wellington region at night but I also get out to shoot the dark skies in the Wairarapa and further afield whenever I can. I love finding new interesting foregrounds to feature along with the night skies. \nI set up the Wellington Night Shooters Facebook group in 2021 which runs night photography meetups throughout the year and I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others. I also sell astrophotography via my own website and other photography work on Truestock. \nFind examples of Keith’s work at:\ninstagram.com/keithmolloy_photography\nfacebook.com/keithmolloyphotography

SUMMARY:Interclub Print Battle 2024
DESCRIPTION:The Annual Interclub Print Battle hosted by the Wellington Photographic Society. November 17th\, Doors open 12pm\, at the Tararua Tramping Club\, 4 Moncrieff St\, Mount Cook\, Wellington. \nThe Wellington Interclub Print Battle is an annual competition between the photographic clubs in the greater Wellington area that are affiliated to the Photographic Society of New Zealand. In the last couple of years\, an invitation has been extended to clubs further afield\, to boost the number of clubs participating. \n \nThe clubs participating in the 2024 competition are: \n\nWellington Photographic Society\nJohnsonville Camera Club\nPorirua Photography Club\nKapiti Coast Photographic Society\nWhanganui Camera Club\n\nHere are the topics for 2024.\nWe are happy to provide definitions of any subjects \n\nMinimalist\nTeal & Orange\nReflective\nMultiple Exposure\nConservation\nPareidolia: Seeing faces in Nature/Built Environment\nIn Miniature\nSuper Ordinary Life\nThe Sea\nShapes & Patterns\n\nThe competition has ten rounds\, each with a different topic. The participating clubs are asked to select one image for each topic from the work of their members to be their entry for that round. \nFor each round\, each club brings up their image for that topic and places it on the print stand for judging. The judge is asked to give a brief comment about each image and then rank the entries in order. The first placed print is awarded one point\, the second placed print is awarded two points\, and so on. At the end of the competition\, the club with the lowest cumulative score over the ten rounds is declared the winner and is presented with a trophy\, which was donated by the Kapiti Coast Photographic Society in 2008. \nThere is also the Stella Daniell Award presented to the individual photographer for the best abstract image across all the rounds\, as selected by the judge. The award is named in memory of Stella Daniell\, who was a member of both the Wellington Photographic Society and the Karori Camera Club and was known for her abstract images. \nWhere do you send submissions? comms@wps.org.nz\nWhat’s the deadline? October 24th 2024. This will give us time to select\, notify successful entrants\, format\, request alterations\, print\, and matt. \nWhat are the dimensions/size? \n\nFor the purposes of selection\, please send digital images only but let us know if you have a print/matted version of the image available.\n6mb Max at full resolution. We will resize the image to the size required for the competition but we will let you know if you need to bump up the resolution.\n\nNaming the image file? \n\nThis is VERY IMPORTANT. We receive lots of photos for different competitions and projects. This helps us keep things organised.\nInterclub_Category_LastNameFirstName_Title\nI.e.Interclub_TheSea_BobJohn_OhNoABear\n\nWe advise avoiding sending any images from recent workshops\, PSNZ or otherwise. If you are a member of another Camera Club\, please make sure that the images that you submit to WPS have not been submitted to other clubs for their Interclub entry. \nGood Luck and Have Fun! \nNovember 17th\, doors open 12pm\, at the Tararua Tramping Club\, 4 Moncrieff St\, Mt Victoria.

SUMMARY:Photography: Show and Tell
DESCRIPTION:It’s been a while since we had a good old-fashioned ‘Show and Tell’ \nIt could be prints\, a photobook\, a piece of gear that makes your life easier\, or a portfolio or website you are currently working on\, the project you are most proud of or even something you can’t work out and have been scratching your head about (we’ve all been there!). \nWhatever it is\, come along and tell us about it. There’s nothing quite like learning from and sharing with others\, so let’s make it happen! If you don’t have any images or a project to share\, your input will be welcome anyway so come along too! We’re keen to keep providing a supportive community that helps and supports other photographers. \nFor those bringing images\, feel free to bring along physical prints and/or digital (on a device such as a phone/tablet/laptop). Please bring your own device. \nSo\, come along and share your work\, projects\, inspiration or tips and tricks with us! \nPhotography Gear Sale & Swap\nWe are also making space for a small gear sale. Club members and the general public are invited to bring along any surplus camera equipment or general photography-related gear they might have and put it up for sale. \nIf successful sellers could make a small donation from their sales\, that would be great. It will help cover our costs. \nThursday 11th July | Doors open 7pm | Tararua Tramping Club

SUMMARY:Meetup: Zealandia
DESCRIPTION:Tucked up over the city of Wellington is Zealandia\, an ecosanctuary reminiscent of the days before humans arrived in New Zealand. \nZealandia is a great place to photograph more than just birds – there are invertebrates\, plants\, fungi\, and tuatara too (so you don’t need a huge long lens if you don’t have one). \nComing into autumn\, the sanctuary residents are gearing up for winter\, so we should be able to find plenty of birds looking for food. \nMeetup time and place:\nWe will meet in the foyer at 9am on Saturday 27th April. \nKeep in mind\, we do not have an official Zealandia guide for this meet-up\, but we do have a staff member who knows the sanctuary quite well  \nPlease RSVP to this meet-up as we need to determine if we have enough Zealandia members attending to get everyone in at half-price. Please indicate if you are a Zealandia member when RSVP’ing. \nRSVP Link:\nhttps://forms.gle/3DDYNSAkrbXmkSNZ8
