Moonee Valley Urban Ecology Photo Competition

There hasn't been a post in two weeks but my right wrist has been injured making typing really difficult.

I received an email Tuesday telling me that information on the photography competition we are helping run is up on the councils website. If you live in the area of Moonee Valley it would be an awesome opportunity to have your photo viewed and compared with your peers. All photos must be taken within Moonee Valley and there are four themes that you can enter in they are Backyards, Parks and Reserves, Water and Waterways, and Streetscapes. 

Our club will be run a workshop on Saturday the 10th of May 2014. It will cover Three elements of a good photo, Getting the best out of your camera, and Composition.

For any more information visit the Council website link here:

Another link that Clem has kindly sent me is to a photo editing software.

It looks like a quite easy program to work, whileI have not been able to try it out yet but I definitely will be soon.

Legal Issues within Photography

Thanks to Clem for sending this link to me.

The post on the FugiFilm blog has some basic but detailed information on the legal side of photographing people and places. Well worth the read and might pick up a few useful tips for taking photos in public

Revamp Time

As you will have noticed this blog has been inactive for more than six months. We haven't abandoned it and forgot to take the link off the website, just no-one has had the time to dedicate to this blog. 
Our club is run by volunteers who wish to see it thrive, these being people with jobs and families. We hope this to been a source of inspiration and helpful information, in order to give you useful information time searching and researching must be spent as no-one is a encyclopedia on all things photography. 
I have taken over this blog for the club as I have the spare time for it. So I have re-done the layout and hope to post at least once a week from here on out. The posts will include links to any helpful videos, photography related events or club news as it comes up. Do go back through the old posts as I am sure there will be something interesting to find. 
Questions and comments are welcome!  I'll do my best to answer questions and if I don't know I ask someone who does.
