MORE BATS
Sunday (15/12/2024) will be at least 39 degrees so will be ideal for Bat pictures as they swoop the Torrens to drink and cool off. Kim & I are going down for 5pm. Anyone wishing to go down, meet us on the North side of the Torrens about 100 metres from the Uni Footbridge towards the Zoo. You will need a minimum of 200mm lens and preferable 400mm or more. A tripod or monopod will be handy. Wear a hat, long sleeves and long trousers etc and bring a water bottle and maybe a chair. Let me know if you need transport and I can see what I can do.... Bill

Tea Tree Gully Council Toilet Blocks
After last year’s successful wrapping of 3 toilet blocks in Tea Tree Gully Council areas, We have been asked to supply more images to cover 3 more toilet blocks. This time they have asked for Flora and Fauna images that are synonymous with the areas. As 2 bird shots were used last year, they have mentioned, perhaps, images of insects (butterflies etc) and flora. That said, I think a great shot of a bird might also fill the proposition.
Attached images of the new blocks.
The new sites are:
Orange Grove Circuits - 1 Shepley Ct, Dernancourt
Nursery Way - Highbury
Cobbler Creek - Target Hill Rd, Greenwith
As per last year Danny will be the liaison with the council. Please send images to him at: [email protected].
At this stage make them the same size as we do for competitions: 1920 x 1080. As we are now into November and only have up until mid-December to present to the council our proposed images, we need to get moving.
Each successful image owner will receive a $200 VISA Card and their name on each image.
