Training Day – Double Exposure

Tamworth Camera Club Training

Double Exposure

Double Exposure is a creative way to do photography.

Hi everyone, at the meeting on Tuesday night it was agreed to do daytime training session on Sunday 10/4/22. 

Time and Place: Botanical Gardens, Victoria Park at 2.00pm.

You will need to do a little research on your own camera model to see if you can do a double exposure in camera or a smart phone. If not, you may have to use a program such as photoshop etc.

Training on 26/4/22 we will continue on with Double Exposure and touch on the June subject Symmetry. 

Also don’t forget that May is the Wal Trophy so there should be an extra Creative subject that you can do anything you want at being creative.

Here are a few YouTube links to show you the way!

UNE FUNDRAISER FOR TCC

The upcoming fundraiser is the UNE Taster Tester. This puts $1000 into the club’s account for an hour of your time. The date is confirmed as Sunday 31st October with 1-hour time slots from 3 pm until 6 pm.


For this to happen, I need every member to help. Please, this is the easiest fundraiser when everyone supports it.  What the Club needs is for every member to be responsible for booking 2 tickets.  If you can book more, great but we have enough members to cover the 60 people required if everyone can book 2 tickets each.  I understand that people might be working, away on holidays, might be vegan or not double vaccinated however if you have family or friends that you could book in your place, it would be much appreciated.


Two spots are all that we are asking for you to help with plus it’s a fun way to end a weekend.

TAMWORTH CAMERA CLUB FUNDRAISER
31 OCTOBER 2021 FROM 3PM until 6PM
