2nd Meeting - Lenses: Focal Lengths and Their Uses. Tuesday 16 March

A Note From Vanessa:

Not to be missed!

Have you ever wondered what lens to use? And wondered what effect focal length has on the photo?

Harry Lock, our own pro photographer, will be speaking at Tuesday's meeting!

He will be giving an illustrated talk on the use of lenses, and the effect focal length has on the final image. He will be discussing how to choose which lens to use, and will show us examples of the results.

Harry's presentation promises to be informative, and help us all to get to know lenses and their uses better.

See you all at 7pm, at the Clubhouse.

March 2010 Outing

You're reminded about the outing this weekend to the butterfly farm in Pietermaritzburg on this Saturday, 13 March 2010. It has been suggested that we get there at 09h15.
Anton has been kind enough to put together the following details and directions:

Admission fees are:

Adults R30

Children (2-16 years) R19

Pensioners R19

Directions:

Butterflies for Africa is located at 37 Willowton Road, just off the N3 in Pietermaritzburg. Those arriving from the coast take the Ohrtmann Road turnoff (exit 79) and turn right (going over the highway) then turn left into Willowton Rd just after the Innoxa factory.

The paths inside the enclosure have been made wheelchair friendly, so anyone can attend.

The Monkey House:

On certain days, between 11:30 and 13:30, there are guided tours of The Monkey House. It costs R11 (all age groups) to enter, but they didn’t specify on the website when this is.

The Painted Lady Coffee Bar:

After the utter frustration of getting the butterflies to sit still (no pins/deep freezers allowed), we can all have something to drink and eat before the long drive home. There is seating inside, or even outside for those whose love to bask in the sun or hunker under an umbrella in the rain.

Please e-mail Anton at d4rkhorse@webafrica.org.za if you are coming to the outing. We just need to see who will be attending.
