On the last Monday in March (Monday 29th March) there will be a BCG Studio Portrait Shoot at the APC between 6:45pm and 9:45pm, organised by Rob Ferris.  It will cost BCG members $30 and mentors, models lights and makeup artists will be on hand.  More details later.

The Brisbane Camera Group is cordially invited to participate in the 30th annual George W. Glennie Nature Interclub Exhibition, which will be held by the Merrimack Valley Camera Club, North Andover, MA on Saturday, March 27, 2010.  

The digital-only format is now well established as the Exhibition medium, as it provides more organizations with greater opportunities to participate in this event that has become a world-wide showcase of Nature photography.  It should be noted, though, that scanned slides are acceptable.

As has been done previously, awards will be presented to both clubs and individuals for their meritorious achievements.

Some members have asked about the possibility of getting BCG shirts (probably Polo shirts) and membership badges.  The question is - how many people would be interested?

The advantages of such identification items are clear: a sense of club community, a legitimisation of the photographer in street or social documentary work, keeping groups together in large outings like the beach.

The problem is that the cost varies greatly according to the take-up, so it's hard to predict.  And we certainly don't want to over-order and have idle stock on the club's hands.

So here is your challenge:  This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it if you would be interested at all in a polo-style club shirt and/or a club badge, and what sort of price you would be prepared to pay.  Then we can see if the idea has enough legs.  As a rough guide, the shirts would probably be in the range of $20 or so. 

APSCON 2010 will this year be held in the Queensland town of Roma, the Capital of the Western Downs. From Saturday 18 to Friday 24 September Attendees will be able to enjoy talks from local, National and International photographers.

The topics for the monthly competitions next year have been determined, based on popular vote at a club might and PSQ's inter-club competitions. Some of them look challenging, so start clicking now!
