After the grand success of the inaugural great debate in
2007 - when two teams argued whether the image 'Bullfight' by Ernst Haas was better than the image 'Migrant Mother' by Dorothea Lange - we are looking forward to the next clash of
opinions on the evening of Monday 28 July 2008.
Our debate topic this year: That photography is more science than art.
We need to confirm three speakers for our affirmative and
three speakers for our negative teams. Don't be shy
- you need only speak for three minutes or so and it's a fun evening of
good natured discussion.
We can't do it without you!

Long-time member George Greenaway has suggested an exciting new photo challenge for BCG photographers. It's called different visions.
Each month a specific location will be selected to be the subject of our different visions. The challenge is for each photographer to capture their own unique view of the same subject. You choose the the time of day, viewing angle, type of lens used, treatment etc. The challenge is open to anyone registered on the BCG gallery (visitors, affiliates and members).
An album has been created in the BCG gallery to showcase the different visions of our very talented BCG photographers. The first location is St Stephens Cathedral,
249 Elizabeth Street, Brisbane. So get snapping and upload your best shot to the album (you need to be registered and logged in on the gallery to do this).
This is not a competitive challenge - there will be no judging of the best image. But when we have enough entries there will be a showing at one of the club nights.
Have fun!
