Australia Day – Jan 26

Jack — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 09:29:05 +0000

This year’s Hanging Rock races on Australia Day (Jan 26) have been relocated to Kyneton due to damage to the track. The general consensus of members was that we should instead have an informal BBQ at Osborne House starting at around 6.00 pm. BYO food and drinks. We will have a BBQ on site. Bring along any images/projects that you have been working on to share with members. As it’s Australia Day, there will be fireworks from the Waterfront later in the evening, so bring along your gear to capture the event. Prints for the September Competitions are also due on this night. Projected images can be uploaded any time via the Competitions page.

“Geelong – Then and Now” Exhibition

Jack — Sun, 17 Apr 2011 10:33:54 +0000

As part of the National Trust Heritage Festival 2011, Corio Bay Camera Club is currently holding an exhibition called “Geelong – Then and Now”. The exhibition features old photographs of the Geelong and Bellarine Peninsula region, rephotographed as they are today, allowing viewers to compare what has changed, and what remains the same. To date the exhibition has generated a very positive response. The exhibition continues until April 20 and is located at its clubrooms at Osborne House, Swinburne Street North Geelong. In addition to the CBCC exhibition, there is also a comprehensive exhibition of Antarctic memorabilia, including the art of Neil Roberts, model steam engines built by the Geelong Society of Model and Experimental Engineers, and memorabilia from the National Servicemen’s Association.

Geelong Seniors Festival Exhibition

CBCC members preparing the Exhibition

Part of the Seniors Festival Exhibition at Osborne House

The Geelong Seniors Festival Exhibition was held in the last week in October in conjunction with other groups that use at Osborne House. There was a steady trickle of people through the show, particularly towards and over the weekend. This was the first time CBCC have exhibited at Osborne House.

Many members gave generously of their time to prepare and staff the show. To have an exhibition run for a whole week was a big undertaking and we would not have been able to do it without this commitment. CBCC has a great space at Osborne House to stage these exhibitions and we hope to stage many more.

Welcome to the New Year

Wayne — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 11:26:28 +0000

The first meeting for 2010 is this Thursday the 28th, it is a members Holiday Show and Tell, come along and let us know what you have been doing over the last two months, bring some images as well. There will be a report on the great day had at Hanging Rock – Australia Day Races, hopefully with plenty of images. Those members and their families that attended had a very pleasant day.

We will have the projected images file name and resize program on the clubs laptop to instruct those that need help with this program, I have heard from a few members of their inability to get it to work.

Don’t forget that entries for the February Competition are due this Thursday as well.

Looking forward to seeing you all, Happy New Year in Photography.

Ballarat Foto Biennale

Jack — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 01:45:57 +0000

The Ballarat Foto Biennale is being held from September 4 to October 4. On the weekend of 12 and 13 September VAPS (Victorian Association of Photographic Societies) will be taking a space at the Ballarat School of Mines for all camera club members to use as a drop-in area/meeting point whilst they are in Ballarat for the Biennale. Tea and coffee will be available to all.

An exhibition of prints will be staged on this weekend at the drop-in centre. Clubs have been asked to submit two or three prints (Colour or Monochrome – Open subject) for this exhibition. We have informed VAPS that we will participate. We are waiting on further details, but in the meantime please select one print or two prints from your catalogue that you would like to have considered for selection. Please note that prints must be on a mount size of 16″ x 20″ (no larger or smaller).

When we know more details on when/how we need to submit prints we can work out how we select the three we will submit to represent the club. If it fits in with a regular meeting night we may have a members vote (eg on a 3/2/1 basis) otherwise we may need to appoint a selection committee on a separate night.
Will keep you informed.

In the meantime you may wish to check out the Ballarat Foto Biennale website to see whats on offer.
