Hi everyone,
We have realised that we haven't been promoting the Erwin van der Velden Memorial Photo Competition very well. Many people knew Erwin, either when he was a member of the Brisbane Astronomical Society and the Southern Astronomical Society, while he worked at York Optical in Brisbane, or by his fabulous images, but we also realise that many do not. There is a blurb about him and a link to a website devoted to him here
http://qldastrofest.org.au/index.php...petition-rules.
The Astrofest is fast approaching and if you haven't gotten your images you wish to enter to the Photo Competition to the club representatives on the Astrofest committee, or to the registrar, you will need top act soon as we will be in the throes of setting up camp from mid next week.
With this in mind, and as we want to have the images up when the camp starts on Friday, please send a PM to here, and we will give you an email address you can send digital images for a multimedia display. If we can have the electronic versions this weekend, we can relax the rule to have the physical photo prior to camp.
Bear in mind that our display device is not likely calibrated to the specifications you have at home, therefore your image may not look quite how you intended. This is one reason we have not used this method to display competition photos in the past, however we feel we man need to drag ourselves into the late 20th Century.
Hope to hear from you soon.
