Whaaaat..is it tax-time already, must be old age catching up with me.. it just seems to be happening faster and faster every year. Big thanks to our committee members who keep the activities up and running each month. Some interesting and stimulating Education evenings, and some stunning images come through in our monthly competitions. It never ceases to amaze me in the originality and creativity that comes through both in Digital and Prints each month. Keep them coming! Just a quick mention to a couple of club members that have excelled in recent months. Anne Bonser got a 3rd placing in the Australian Emerging Photographers competition with her “Primary Impact” portfolio of 3 images in the Architecture category. (I’ve attached her 3 images). I was also lucky enough to get named in the top 20 in Australian Emerging Photographers competition in the Portraits category with my portfolio of Amina (Images attached). Locally, we have had a few members successful in the WA Photo Salon exhibition with Nadine Henley, Paul Anderson, Shirley Johnson, Jeff Spickett and myself having images exhibited at Central Park building in the city. The quality of prints in the exhibition was amazing, with over $14,000 in prizes up for grabs. Unfortunately none of use were that lucky. The club meets at 7.30pm on the first and third Tuesday of every month (except January) at the North Fremantle Community Hall: 4 Thompson Road, North Fremantle (Harvest Road end). See the map at the bottom of our home page: www. fremantlecameraclub.com. The first Tuesday is an educational evening and the third Tuesday is competition night. In addition there are social outings organised to improve and share our photography skills. See information in this month’s Freographic and on the website. Guests are always welcome. Become a club member today! Welcome to Freographic May/June 2023 issue President’s Report
June 2023 FREOGRAPHIC NEWS 2 Pat Hallaran President On the Club competition front, we continue to have a great response in the Digital Open and Set Subject categories with a combined 50 or so images submitted each month, but alas we tend to be dropping numbers in the Print categories. If you feel like getting some information about Printing etc don’t hesitate to get in touch with the committee or alternatively contact Jason Eagle at his Printing and Framing business (IFS Images Frames Signs). From a personal perspective, he does all of my exhibition printing, and does an amazing job with paper selection and Printing and don’t forget, FCC members get a discount on all Printing. To finish up, the introduction of a Peoples Choice Award for Best Print on the Competition night has been going really well. Paul Anderson has taken out 2 monthly Awards so far with some great Prints but in June we had joint Award winners with 3 members all getting equal votes, Jeff Spickett, Nadine Henley, and Alison Thorburn all getting 4 votes each. The Peoples Choice Award will be decided at the end of the year with total votes received in all monthly competitions throughout the year.

FREOGRAPHIC June 2023 EDUCATION REPORT - MAY 3 Education Report Beth depicted images of her work, and explained what she looks for in capturing an image and how best to bring out the beauty in nature that surrounds us every day. Something so simple can turn into an amazing and striking image, be it in colour or mono. Wild About Natives is a beautiful book Beth has created, and is an inspiring book for many photographers. Follow Beth’s work on Instagram and her website below: https://offpen.com.au Our presenter for May was Beth Baker, who specializes in photographing flora and fauna. Particularly in Glen Forrest, Darlington, Kings Park, the Murchison and Cape Naturaliste region of Western Australia. Marlene Bishop Education Officer MAY
June 2023 FREOGRAPHIC EDUCATION NIGHT - JULY 4 Born and raised in London, Sally graduated from Croydon College of Technology before being employed by Young and Rubicam, the third largest advertising agency in the world at that time, where she led a team of home economists engaged in product development, design and marketing. She was responsible for major accounts including Cadbury, Heinz and Unilever, working on some of their best-known campaigns. Born and raised in Perth’s southern suburbs, Howard utilises a range of media in his painting including oils, acrylics and pastels as well as found materials. Although always engaged in painting and sculpture at a personal level, (as a teenager, his “junk” sculptures created from materials salvaged from the local tip transformed his parents’ garden into something of an art park) his career as a film and television writer, producer, director and educator meant that his art had to remain a secondary activity until recently. However, when he has had the opportunity to dedicate himself to his art, he has enjoyed marked success, having exhibited in Melbourne’s Wattletree Gallery in 1992, while his “Kimberley” series was displayed in Compass Airlines business class lounges in the same year. He has also exhibited in the Old Bakery gallery in Maylands, and his paintings are in private collections across Australia. So come along and enjoy the art and discussions of Alchemy Creative Collective. Howard and Sally Worth Alchemy Creative Collective JULY 4th Education Night

7 FREOGRAPHIC June 2023 Club Competition Nights May’s Subject: Mono (Lines & Curves) Lines and curves have a significant compositional role that focuses the viewer’s attention on some part of the image and influences the interpretation of the image.

FREOGRAPHIC June 2023 29 2023 SUBJECTS 2023 Club Subjects Fremantle Camera Club Competition nights are held the third Tuesday of each month. The subjects for the monthly competitions have been set by the Committee and are as follows: Please pay careful attention to the definitions. SEPTEMBER Travel (Mobile Phone) A Photo Travel image expresses the characteristic features or culture of a land as they are found naturally. Close up pictures of people or objects must include features that provide information about the location. JULY Architecture (Shape and Patterns in Colour or Mono) Architecture can be a building or structure of any type, old or modern, exterior or interior. Any part including windows, doors, roofs, stairways, steeples, towers, domes, etc. OCTOBER Open (Caught in the Act) An image showing a featured subject doing something surreptitiously. It may be spontaneous or contrived but will obviously fare better if it looks natural. AUGUST Landscape (Long Exposure - The Grace Munday Landscape Award) Can include any subject that is treated pictorially, embodying the elements of good design, arrangement or composition, which reflects the personal interpretation of the photographer. Images may be colour or black and white. NOVEMBER Colour (Triptych) A triptych is a presentation made up of three (and only three) distinctly separated photographic images displayed on a common background, that has to be a series that tells a story.
June 2023 FREOGRAPHIC RULES 30 Competition Rules See the club website for the full competition rules and responsibilities. In summary: All financial members of the club are eligible to enter monthly competitions to a maximum of one entry in each of the four competitions (print and digital sections, comprising open and set subject, in either colour or monochrome). All images must be the original photographic work of the member, but may be digitally enhanced. When entering the next competition remember that Gold and Silver award images may not be re-submitted in either digital or print format at another monthly competition. Similarly, images that come very close to resembling a previous Gold or Silver award entry are ineligible for entry in any section. Bronze and other entries may be converted to a higher standard based upon the judge’s comments and only re-submitted in one subsequent competition. Digital Images: Maximum digital image size is 1920(width) x 1080(height) pixels. A different ratio may be applied to the digital image (e.g. square or ‘letterbox’), provided the maximum sizes are not exceeded. There is no limit on resolution. Each digital image must be submitted as a JPEG file (*.jpg) and in sRGB profile and must have the following file title format: Digital Image Title_Open / Subject_Competitor Number.jpg e.g. Snowflakes_Open / Subject_151.jpg. Digital images are to be submitted to the Digital Images Coordinator by emailing them to fremantlecameraclub@gmail. com by 12 noon on the Sunday nine days prior to competition night. Prints: Maximum print size is 40 x 50cms, including matt and backing. There is no minimum size. Maximum thickness of entry is 5mm, including print, matt and backing. Any print that does not fit within these maximum sizes may not be accepted for competition. Prints may be produced either commercially (i.e. a printing service) or by the member. Print entries must be properly secured to an appropriate backing of either cardboard or foam core. Members must not submit prints that may potentially damage other entries when packed or during transport. Each print must be labelled with the following format: Image Title; Open / Subject; and Competitor Name and number (ie not just number) e.g. Raindrops; Open / Subject; John Smith 203, on the reverse side of the print in the top left hand corner of the mount board. This makes it easier to return prints. Prints must be delivered to the Print Competition table at Club meetings no later than 7:15pm. The prints are to be placed facedown in the relevant competition area ie Subject or Open. Points will be allocated in the monthly competition on the following basis: a. Gold 5 points; b. Silver 3 points; c. Bronze 2 points; and d. Non-winning entry 1 point
