More details will be added closer to the event

Please note that this meeting will commence at 7pm to incorporate the judged Tri-Nations images presentation and the QCG Group Gallery Exhibition Introduction. 

 The sequence and timing of proceedings will be as follows:

7:00 – Announcements – Twiggy Daniels.

7:05 – Tri-nations images presentation and scores (Note, we will not be conducting the judges feedback and open forum discussion originally planned for the cancelled Focus Group).

7:20 (approx.) – Guest Speaker Jane McMenamin.

8:30 (approx.) - QCG Group Gallery Exhibition Introduction and Launch.

Jane’s presentation will explore the often-overlooked aspects of photographing birds. 
This isn’t just about camera settings, editing and gear, although these things will be covered. It’s more about embracing the patience, creativity, and emotional connection that truly transform a photograph. Whether you’re struggling with missed shots, dealing with the pressures of performance, or simply looking to take your bird photography to a deeper level, Jane hopes to inspire people to go beyond the technical.

Please support our very own and very special, Jane McMenamin, bird photographer extraordinaire, by joining us in person.

As there is no café near by the suggestion is we can have a picnic morning tea after we have finished chasing photos. Maybe bring a folding chair just in case.
