With Peoples Choice Exhibition printed images due on 20 November, please also make sure you are happy with the title of your image as we need to print out labels for the exhibition. Several images were submitted without titles so I made some up on the spot so they were easy to identify.
Please check the titles in the email I sent notifying you of the image/s chosen and make sure they don’t exceed 35 characters as per the club competition rules.
If you have any changes please email comps@creativeshots.com.au no later than 20 November and if you have any questions, please contact me by email or on 0412 398250.
Just a reminder that printed images for the club’s ‘Mackay Captured’ 2024 People’s Choice Exhibition are needed by the Information Meeting on 20 November so they can be framed and hung for the exhibition. I’m sorry for confusing things by putting the incorrect date in the original emails 🙁 .
If you have any questions or need me to resend your email with the selected images and printing details please contact Karen by email at comps@ creativeshots.com.au or phone 0412 398250.
We’re very lucky to be invited to a farm at Eton to photograph a field of sunflowers, on Saturday 26 October at 8 am.
Full details are in Helen’s Facebook post in the Member’s only page.
This is strictly a club shoot with no outsiders to be invited and no photos are to be used for commercial use. You might like to bring a cuppa and some morning tea. It’s probably a good idea to car pool also.
Please RSVP ASAP by replying to Helen’s Facebook post. Thanks so much to Sue McCowat for making this available to the club.
