MALVERN AND CAULFIELD CAMERA CLUB
Just a year ago, a small notice appeared in the A.P.-R., stating that a new camera club had been formed in Malvern, under the above name. Since then it has made splendid progress. The aim has been to foster an intelligent interest in all classes of photography, and to inspire a genuine liking for photographic art, above that of the ordinary amateur snapshot. To this end, a system of monthly outings was installed, with a meeting the following fortnight in each month. At the beginning of this year it was arranged to hold a competition for prints from each outing, and a certificate is given for the best picture made. The competition runs in three grades — Senior, Intermediate, and Junior — the two former being judged by Mr. Woolocott, and the latter by the Committee. Two prizes, which were very kindly donated by Mr. D.L. Muntz, will be presented at the end of the year to the holders of the two largest numbers of certificates. At the meetings, lectures and demonstrations are given on photographic subjects. The aim of these, so far, has been largely for the Juniors; but this year a course has been arranged for advanced workers as well, so that there will probably be two lots of demonstrations the same night, one for Seniors and the other for Juniors. Some of these include a lantern lecture, demonstration on combination printing, and lecture on bromide papers as compared to gaslight, color correct photography, reduction and intensification, matte varnishing, and reducing negative, etc.
The Committee are desirous of promoting an interest in lantern-slide making, and to this end a competition has been arranged for June, 1920. Members have thus practically nine months to prepare slides, and the latter will be the subject for some lectures during the coming year.
Recently, Mr. Magnus, of Kodak (Australasia) Ltd., demonstrated lantern-slide making, and gave some useful hints.
With the number of enthusiastic camera workers in and around Melbourne it is astonishing how few belong to a club, and this one wishes to enrol those not already members of a society who are interested in photography, irrespective of whether they are beginners or advanced workers. The Secretary, Mr. R.H. White, 26 Kooyong road, Malvern, Victoria, will be pleased to answer any questions.
