friends. It doesn't matter what kind of a camera you have, or even
whether you own a camera. Non-members are also welcome. We will be
meeting at 9.45am at the main entrance. Please bring a picnic lunch,

Another semester's coming to an end. Assignments are piling up and exams are quickly approaching. But Fotoholics has one more event, just so you can take a short break from all that and think about something else for a little while.

Our last event for this semester is a Sharing Session and Workshop.

The workshop will cover the basics of digital photo editing, as well as some more advanced tips and tricks. Editing is immensely ...important in digital photography. Even the subtlest edit can dramatically improve a photo, but it can be a daunting process at first. Come along and find out how easy it is. Even if you're a seasoned editor, you might still learn a thing or two...

The sharing session is an opportunity for you see what other members have been shooting, as well as show off some of your own photos. A little critiquing from your peers can go a long way in improving your photos, especially since photography can often be a solitary pursuit. There's no particular theme this time around, send in any photo you like. Though, if you would like to talk about a particular editing technique used that would be fantastic.


Date: Tuesday 18th October, 2011

Time: 12.30 - 2.00 pm

Place: Alan Gilbert Theatre 1, Melbourne University


Sharing session submission guidelines:

- A maximum of 3 photos please.
- Make sure they are JPEG format, and medium-high quality (ie. something that is still good quality, but easily emailed).
- Name your photos in the following format: bob_geldof_1.jpg, bob_geldof_2.jpg, bob_geldof_3.jpg.
- Send them to submission@fotoholics.org
- Please send them by 5pm Monday 17th October. Photos sent after this time may not be included.



Hope to see you there!

The next Fotoholics event will be a day trip to the Tesselaar Tulip Festival. Enjoy a spring day among fields of colourful tulips, a welcome contrast to Melbourne's recent incessant rain. We will also have a few models coming along with us. So bring along your cameras, and try not to go too crazy with your saturation slider...

We will be going on Saturday 8th October, meeting at 9am at the Flinders St Station near the entrance outside the toilet area and returning at 4.30pm.

It will cost $20 for members and $25 for non members, including entry and a shuttle bus from Lilydale.

The Loddon Shire was extremely affected by floods earlier this year. For a small community, this was devastating. The aim of our project was to both raise awareness of the flood damage, as well as to put a little bit of spark back into their tourism industry. Our secondary aim was to create better ties between rural and metropolitan Victoria. 

Fotoholics collaborating with SALP has captured all that the region has to offer. The photos have come up a treat, so now we invite you all to come and check them out and experience for yourself all the great things the region has to offer. 

Location: Yasuko Hiraoka Room, Sidney Myer Asia, University Of Melbourne.

Opening Night: Thursday 6th of Oct, 6pm.

Exhibition Opening hours: Friday,7th Oct and Monday, 10th Oct 9.30am-5.30pm


Not only is this event an exhibition of the beauty and personality of the Loddon Shire, but also a testimony to the great work of a very talented bunch of photographers. 

So please come along and help to support this great cause! Invite your friends and family, or even tell a stranger about it if you're as passionate as we are. Gold coin donation is welcome at the entry and money raised would go to the Bridgewater Flood Recovery Program!
