Themed Competition: Club Colours
To start off the year show us how inspired you can be with the club’s very own colours: yellow/orange and blue. We want you to feel at home here at PhotoClub so this competition welcomes any photos (max 2) that incorporate one or more of those colours – that’s it! Judging is based mainly on creativity and photographic technique! Good luck!!

Workshops
Our workshops are designed for base skills – to teach all the basics about photography.
In week 2, we will begin running Workshop A – Exposure. This workshop is a simple introduction on how a camera works. It familiarises you with the exposure triangle, which includes aperture, ISO and shutter speed, and how to use the camera to manipulate them.
In week 3, Workshop B – Focus, will begin running. It will give you a complete breakdown of how a camera focuses, its different focus modes and how to use them to your advantage. We will also be covering some other basics including depth of field, dynamic range and white balance.
The workshop times will be posted in the UNSW PhotoClub 2019 Facebook group – join ithere if you haven’t already!
