Nelson National Triptych Salon 2018

Changes to format for 2018

The popular Triptych Salon hosted by the Nelson Camera Club will be on again this year but with a few changes to make it easier for you to enter and for us to host.

There will be no print entries this year. Projected images only. Instead of an exhibition, there will be a fabulous Presentation and Awards evening where printed copies of the high awarded images will be on display and an audio visual of all the accepted images will be shown.

WPS Impact - Jan 2018

WPS Impact: January 2018

We have a completely jam packed year ahead for you, with a huge range of great speakers, field trips and workshops.

We believe it will be an exciting year of photography. Since our last meeting of the year, we have had the chance to examine the needs and wants of the membership as revealed in the survey that Shannon Doyle conducted towards the end of last year. Thanks to all of you who took the time and trouble to give us much valuable feedback.
