Surat Shutterbugs
Four members from the Surat Shutterbugs
Group travelled to Brisbane to attend the
Photographic Society of Queensland
Convention held over the May long
weekend.
Beginning on the Friday evening with a meet
& greet sausage sizzle followed by Painting
with Light on Pandanus Beach. Very Visual
and creative!
Saturday & Sunday consisted of some 1.
interesting key note speakers
interspersed with different workshops.
The Judges forum was particularly
interesting, this involved four PSQ
judges giving their critique of several
images. It was amazing to hear the
different interpretation given by each
person, proving it is all in the eye of the
beholder.
Monday morning concluded with a very
humorous presentation by Prof Des
Crawley Developing Creativity at Club Level.
A very enjoyable weekend for all!
