This month’s magazine has articles about from Donna Jennings about the importance of being in the moment, the Photival Festival, An exploration on how modern sensors work, a short multiple exposure tutorial, a recap of the PSNZ National Exhibition which was organised by us and an article about how to get your images sorted in Lightroom.
There are also some fantastic images from the recent Anzac Day celebrations and updates on our various competitions and events.
The National Exhibition has been showcasing the best of works by camera club and Photographic Society of New Zealand members for over 60 years.
This exhibition is one of the most eagerly awaited events on the Society’s annual calendar: For three reasons: members are eager to participate; eager to receive the results, and then hopefully see their own works on display.
This year’s exhibition has been organised by The Wellington Photographic Society and this event runs alongside the Hutt2019 Convention. The Canon National Exhibition organising committee of Glen Innes (Chair), Russ Finnerty, Christine Jacobsen, Shannon Doyle, Peter Rodgers, Craig Phillips and Paul Whitham (Convention liaison) have worked tirelessly to bring you this event and we thank them for their hard work and commitment.
Exhibited during the PSNZ National Convention at Lower Hutt Events Centre, Wellington.
The exhibition runs from Friday 26th April to Monday 29th April. Organised by the Wellington Photographic Society

A very warm welcome to what promises to be an exciting year of photography for our Society. We hope you had a relaxing summer holiday break and have had time to recharge your creative batteries. We start the year with two photographic competitions, one embracing mobile photography and the other of a more retro nature dealing with film photography.
In this issue, we talk about Mobile Photography, we chat with Paddy Flanagan, explore the life and work of Henri Cartier-Bresson and we provide an update on the 2019 programme.
For 2019 we are looking to celebrate new and emerging forms of photography. Starting in February we are looking to celebrate the New Zealand summer with the camera you always have with you, your smartphone!
