National Convention May 1-4 2024 is in Nelson
YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS THIS ONE!
This will be held in Nelson and we are very excited as we have two international speakers and plenty to check out in due course. This is a chance for you all to come along, learn, see old friends, and make new ones and maybe pick up a bargain from our wonderful trades stands. It’s an opportunity to come especially if you have never been before and make the most of this amazing opportunity to come and support Nelson Camera Club who will be hosting this National Convention. More details will be on the PSNZ website soon, so look out.

President’s Column – November 2024
Andrea and I had a fantastic time in Japan. The walk section, through urban, rural and forest areas, resulted in some great photography. I was surprised during the walk that we did not see or photograph many birds, however when we were in Kyoto (in a very built up area) I did get some photos. We’ll share a presentation on this at one of our club nights next year.
It has been great to see if few more field trips coming through, including the short notification ones. I hope to sign up for a few and am looking forward to our Prue Salt trip to Fiordland. Please keep sending through ideas for trips.
I am keen to see the Society set up a Print Circle/Critique Circle where interested members select a photo that they would like feedback on, and then we get together and discuss each others photos in a friendly non-competitive way. I have been doing one of the PSNZ Print Circles for the last two years and have really enjoyed getting feedback on my photos, but also thinking about and providing feedback on others. Please have a chat to me at a club night if you are keen on doing this or helping set something like this up with the Society.
Our end of year Christmas fun evening is coming up soon. The cut off for “Singing in the Rain” entries is coming up at the end of the month, so put you thinking hat on and send through some photos.
Welcome to our new members Janine & Bayne Clement, from the Kapiti Coast, and Shirley Kerr, from Blenheim.
