APS in TAS

Details
Written by Anne O'Connor

Welcome to the web page for APS members in Tasmania

Currently Tasmania has 44 APS members in the State with 14 in the South, 19 in the North and 11 in the NorthWest.  The total number seems to remain even if we lose one or two, the gains seem to maintain the losses. A large proportion of these members are very active in their photographic pursuits. Some are high up the APS honours ladder, others are beginning this process. Many more are happy to maintain membership and enjoy getting together without the challenge of competitions. Some are members of camera clubs or photographic organisations, others are not. What is important is the love of photography which keeps them as a member of the society.

APS inTasmania is happy to welcome new members within the State who wish to join us. Check out our newsletter which can be viewed on the APS website.  You will find a link to it below on this page. This is produced quarterly with input from members. Anyone across Australia is welcome to have a look. If you live in Tasmania and are considering joining our society, get in touch.  I hope to see you soon.

 
PINE LAKE IN THE HIGHLANDS JAN 2015
 
This outing was quite successful with 6 people coming along.  Pine Lake was not so successful as thought but we spent many hours photographing some wonderful old dead trees not far from Miena. Coming home Saturday morning, the light was much better, but everyone had headed in different directions.  Though I did find one couple there who had thought like I did, to re-look at it.
 
CORINNA APRIL 2015

This was a great weekend with 10 people coming along.  The weather was reasonably kind and I am sure many got some great images.  It definately is a place I would go back to with lots of opportunities for photography.

BICHENO/DENISON RIVER JULY 3-5TH 2015

This  was a great weekend even though many of us went in different directions at times.  We caught up over meals at night, which worked well.

CHRISTMAS OUTING TAMAR RIVER BASIN AND CATARACT GORGE 21st NOV 2015

This coming Saturday a small group of members are getting together as an end of year wind-up for Tasmanian members of the Society.  Officially we meet for lunch around 12.30/1pm at the Basin Cafe.  Prior to this, some early birds will be chasing first light in a variety of places.
