This evening we're very pleased to have Yvonne Hill walk us through 'Making a PhotoBook'. Joining APS in 2007 Yvonne has enjoyed photography and participated in National and International Exhibitions and is currently Junior Vice President of the Australian Photographic Society.

Yvonne founded the APS APSCON Book competition and has been coordinating the comp up until this year. She has a swag of information and tips that is sure to set our minds firing with ideas!!

Yvonne will talk about the elements that go into Designing a Book such as Planning the Book, Selecting Images, Tips about what to leave in and what to leave out. What about Text?

We'll get a walk-through of the Momento software with tips and plenty of time for questions! Yvonne will also bring along some sample books for display and ideas.

The Image Critique topic of a Printed 'PhotoBook' is due October 5th so this is a great opportunity to get some great ideas and tips as we begin our planning.

Redlands Camera Club invites you to a workshop where you will explore a photography program called Darktable.

By the end of your workshop you will have enough understanding to edit and export your own photos, and the confidence to have a go at home.

This evening we're very pleased to present Ben Stoffl who will speak to the subject
of theming images that support one another as a whole.
The first half of the evening will speak to the art of concept photography and the second
half will go into detail of 'How to'.

Ben's talk will be both enlightening and helpful as we prepare our images for our
upcoming club topic of 'Portfolio of 10 themed images' as well as future endeavours
in this area of photography.

The son of a serious amateur photographer, Ben received his first camera at the age of 8
and spent many hours learning darkroom techniques from his father. Having grown up with
photography, he considered himself to be quite a good photographer on joining the Gold Coast
Camera Club in 1997. Ben is quick to admit that he learned the most about photography since
joining camera clubs.

Ben has successfully entered many National and International photographic exhibitions and
has had his work displayed at an exhibition at The Surat on Balonne Gallery and in the foyer
of the Qld Conservatorium. He has held numerous roles within the photographic community
including president of the Gold Coast Photographic Society, Gympie Camera Club, the Photographic Society of Qld (PSQ) and is a PSQ accredited judge.

We had a fantastic evening with Ben in August (Yellow) and look forward to a great night
with lots of insights as we learn about creating a cohesive themed collection of images!

The next two images are shown, get voted upon and one image either goes through to the
next round and the other is Knocked Out, this continues.

When the preliminary round is finalised the images with the most votes go through to the second round to go head to head again (Just like a round robin).
This process continues until the ultimate winner is revealed.

The night is casual, enjoying our images, having a bit of fun! ..

CUSTOM MADE PHOTOGRAPHY BOOKS
Have you ever thought of printing your own photography books?
Many photographers use online services but what if you could determine exactly the quality and cost of the prints that will go into your photography book?
What if you don't have to cross your fingers that the images on-page will be up to your expectations? What if you could have full control?

Come along and hear from Bookbinder Dan Ibbot to hear how you can make your own custom photography books!
We'll also hear from Jan Sharples who has created many beautiful books which will be on display on the night.

Redlands Camera Club is pleased to host the 2019 Australian Cup Judging and invites all to come along and view the judging of images representing Camera clubs from all around Australia.

Come along and learn how to make a Pinhole Camera!
The group will take a Photo Walk, as well as develop their own pictures in this interesting and fun workshop with Dan. All Materials provided.

This Workshop Group is registered to be a part of the Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day Gallery!

Focus stacking (also known as focal plane merging) is a digital image processing technique which combines multiple images taken at different focus distances to give a resulting image with a greater depth of field (DOF) than any of the individual source images.

In this practical workshop members will photograph subjects at different focal planes then later will move to the computer for a demonstration on how to combine the images in both Photoshop and Elements. Attendees will receive comprehensive step-by-step notes.

This is a practical and hands-on workshop suitable for beginners or members who would like to learn this technique.

Brian has been a member of the Australian Photographic Society (APS) since 1982 and over the years has been involved with Nature folios and the world of Macro (particularly fungi) and birds ever since.

He has been judging APS Nationals and Internationals since the 1990's including judging some of the Redlands Camera Club Competitions. Brian has the role of Chair of the APS Nature Group where he promotes the value of the APS folio system and with a committed group of council members, continue to work at promoting the ethical photography of natural history.

Tonight we're very pleased to meet and hear from professional photographer Stefan Jannides whose multi-disciplinary work encompasses Architectural, Commercial and Aerial Photography!

Stefan Jannides Photography provides high quality photography services and images to a diverse range of national and international clients. Based in Brisbane, Stefan operates out of Red Brick Studios, which houses one of the countries largest drive in cyclorama studios.

"I couldn’t get away from photography if I tried… my father was a commercial/advertising photographer, my mother spent her entire working life as a photographic retoucher, my sister is a portrait photographer and I’m married to a press photographer!

I have always worked for a diverse range of advertising, commercial and editorial clients over the years so have a lot of experience across a broad range of industries. My specialties however have remained in architecture, interiors, property development, heavy industry and aerial photography - from both helicopters and heavy-lift drones.

In recent years however I found my work was increasingly taking me out of the studio so I decided to have a change of direction and concentrate on location assignments. Those many years spent in the studio agonising over subtle lighting details certainly weren’t wasted though and have given me invaluable experience as a location photographer".

This workshop is designed to continue on from the previous session. Noel will introduce channels and their multiple uses. Those who attended the Intermediate workshop are encouraged to attend.

All cameras will need a sensor clean at some stage, dust and dirt on the camera sensor is completely normal and virtually unavoidable. This generally happens during the process of changing lenses and removing the body cap, particles stick to the sensor leaving annoying spots on your photos.

If it's time to have your camera's sensor cleaned or any of your gear requires attention, bring it along on the night.

*Be sure to include a fully charged battery in the camera.
