Early Birds and Shutter Bugs Andrew Chapman is a former newspaper and magazine journalist, published author and photography judge at the Hay Show this year. He is also an early riser. Staying in Hay for a couple of weeks, Andrew was happy to run a photography class at Sandy Point. The invitation was sent out from Hay Shutterbugs and camera enthusiasts were eager to wake before the sun rose for an early morning talk. Concentrating on DOF (depth of field, to get sharp or blurry backgrounds) apertures (how open the lens is), light and relaxed posing, the group clicked away at each other, trying to perfect what they learned. “An expensive camera is not necessary to take great shots”, says Andrew, “Imagination, an understanding of your camera and practice make great photos.” The Hay Shutter Bugs club caters for photography enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels. New members, regardless of experience are always welcome to join. 362 Church Street, Hay Big enough to do the job Small enough for personal service The annual subscription is $30 for adult members and $10 for junior members (up to 16 years).
