Last month, 11 members of Tin Can Bay Camera Club attended the Club’s Annual Photography Retreat at Lake Moogerah near Boonah. This was the Club’s fourth annual retreat, with previous retreats being held at the Bunya Mountains, Stanthorpe/Granite Belt and the Sunshine Coast.

Staying in two shared holiday houses, the group visited various locations around the area and captured some stunning photos. Highlights included visiting the Karoomba Lavender Farm and Winery at Mt Alford, and a guided tour with Boonah photographer Des from 26 Lenscape, who took us to some of his favourite locations around the local area.

Retreat participants also took part in workshops which explored the techniques involved in water drop and ink splash photography.

Evenings were spent gathered around the holiday house’s back yard fire pit, enjoying drinks and nibbles, and talking photography. As usual, all who went along enjoyed the week immensely and look forward to the 2018 retreat at a destination to be decided. Happy snapping!

The Tin Can Bay Camera Club’s next meeting: 7pm, Wednesday June 21 at TCB Library. See more images at: www.tincanbaycameraclub.wix.com/tcb-camera-club

Hi Michelle, I just wanted to say a big thank you for the great picture on the front of this month’s paper. The timing was perfect for us having the review on, but also just to show what a fantastic time people have at the playgroup. We appreciate the support we get from yourself and Heatley each month.

This testimonial is long overdue. I’ve used The RBCCCN in my classroom the last couple of years. In the subject History, students write a narrative about how the community remembers a past event. Rainbow Beach has a strong tradition when it comes to ANZAC day. The coverage of this event in the RBCCCN has enabled the class to use it as a source to help write our narratives. Many of our questions are answered by the photo spread, for example: Who attends? Is there a significant site? What a… Read more

Visit Rainbow Beach magazine for New Zealand Heatley you guys have really turned out a magnificent booklet; I can’t believe it’s already printed. From a tourism perspective it will be very good for this place and definitely worthy of awards. Thank you and Michelle for your hard work, creative juices and pushing us along to be part of this. Hope there are lots of runons.
