This months Camera Club event started off at the Mt Coot-tha Botanical Gardens (an awesome place to spend a few hours taking photos) before heading up to Mt Coot-tha lookout for the sunset.
The theme at the botanical gardens was “macro” – but Sam, Susan, Rory and I arrived a bit early for a quick look at the Japanese gardens first.
Here are some of my favourites from the day (including some long exposures of the Summit Restaurant). Look out for an update with a timelapse video of the sunset.
At the May RF Club meet, I presented some of the fundamental principles of light paining – focusing on the basic torch as a light source – and gave a demonstration of some of the basic light painting techniques , including :
The gallery below provides a sample of some of the shots taken on the night.
Thanks very much to Rory for his assistance on the night.
Also see Brisbane City Skyline at Night – Time Lapse for a short timelapse sequence taken on the night.
For a change the April club meetup was held during the day – and the challenge was to take a photo starting with each letter of the Alphabet (1 point each) within 1 hr – with bonus points for various other things such as Macro (5 points), Green Background (5 points), Spider web (5 points), etc… see the full list of “bonuses” below.
Team “Andy and Sandy” got first place with 242 points and each won a free Workshop… Woo Hoo !!.
