Q&A Evening with Dr Les Walkling

by Les Walkling on April 26, 2013

 

qa
Digital imaging should be simple and straightforward, but unfortunately this is rarely the case. Often the many resources on digital imaging can be confusing and a frustrating waste of time.

This evening is an opportunity to have Dr Les Walkling answer your digital imaging questions.

Les will begin the evening by discussing the three questions he is most commonly asked:
• Why are my prints too dark?
• Why don’t my prints match my screen?
• I’m drowning in data and can’t find specific images when I need to, what can I do?

You will be able to comment on all topics discussed and ask questions throughout the evening. Les will provide detailed, practical information that can be applied to your own practice. It will be an instructive and informal event to which everyone is welcome.

The evening will also provide an opportunity to ask Les about the photography courses he runs on weekends at CCP, and which of these would be suited to your interests and experience.

South West Light – Sydney Presentation

by Les Walkling on March 14, 2013

ND5 – A photographers Perspective – ‘Come on…..really! are you serious?’ from Michael Fletcher on Vimeo.

 

Ninety Degrees Five (ND5) is a unique artistic collaboration between photographers Les Walkling, Christian Fletcher, Peter Eastway, Tony Hewitt, and film maker Michael Fletcher.

On Sunday 7th April all the members of ND5 will be presenting together for the very first time in Sydney – it will be a day filled with inspiration and information about our projects, techniques, discoveries and exhibitions – a day not to be missed. A feature of the program will be the Sydney premiere of Michael Fletcher’s latest documentary film – ND5 The Story so Far.

Join us for the ultimate visual experience. Learn, be inspired and mix with like minded people.

Here is a sample of the feedback we received from our Western Australian and Melbourne presentations:

“Once again I can’t express strongly enough my appreciation for the generosity that ND5 have shown to those of us who have a passion for photography and artistic expression through that medium. I can see that sharing your knowledge between each other and to your audience has been empowering for all.

For me this event was one of those ‘aha’ moments that I know I will treasure throughout the rest of my photographic journey.

Your presentations were certainly inspiring, and whilst most of my work is a long way removed from landscape photography, I took away many lessons – not the least of which is a new appreciation of the benefits of collaboration.

I wanted to contact you all to thank you so very much for such an amazing event. I learnt so much and came away totally inspired! I am just a little tin pot photographer and loved  listening and learning from you all. My friend and I talked of nothing else all the way home last night……

Thank you again – it was fantastic.

Thank you so much for a very inspiring event. When a seminar can take you from tears to laughter, and leave you with an energy to get back to work with new vision and confidence then it was very successful.

For me it was incredibly moving, the type of emotion you get when you feel all patriotic, and hold back from wiping away a tear.

I just wanted to thank you for your seminar, It was exactly what I was looking for and I have never been inspired so much.”

South West Light – Sydney:  Sunday 7th April 2013
9.30am to 4.30pm, Australian National Maritime Museum Theatre,
2 Murray Street, Darling Harbour, Sydney.

In-memoriam

December 26, 2012

In-memorian 2012, Toned Silver Gelatin Print, 198mm x 249mm Bernie O’Regan 1938-1996 I often think of my grand mother during the last few years of her life, when she was gradually losing her memory. I would visit her in Adelaide, where she lived with my grandfather, and watch with absolute despair every time he entered [...]

Introduction

August 7, 2012

Approaching storm 2000m, Pigment Print, 152cm x 152cm, 2012 Our modern DSLR cameras represent not a single device but numerous devices; cameras for everyone but no one in particular.  To the beginner these possibilities are camouflaged, indeed imprisoned behind the illusion of being able to be ‘wherever you want to be’ while the reality is [...]

The Pilbara Project – ND5 Photographers’ Cut

April 7, 2012

Untitled, Pigment Print, 111cm x 111cm, 2010 The most conspicuous thing is that we (ND5) are a collective. It is as much an experiment about what can happen when a group forms from diverse but supportive individuals who are secure enough in their own practice to experiment with it. It is also about demonstrating a [...]

What does landscape do?

March 12, 2012

In my garden, Pigment Print, 111cm x 111cm, 2010 • Landscape as a represented and a presented space, is both a real place and its simulacrum. • Landscape as an environment, whose historical formation circumscribed by European imperialism, is where we either find or lose ourselves. • Landscape as a wounded space, devastated by our [...]

Landscape into Myth

February 10, 2012

The walls of the world, Pigment print, 127cm x 127cm, 2012 I am fascinated in the broadest sense by landscapes like the Pilbara, including my ignorance and insensitivity to them. I’m not ‘in the Pilbara’ in the way that scientists collect and identify its objects. Rather I am collecting what can’t be seen; evidence of [...]
