Go to http://www.photovaultonline.com as per normal procedure for competition entries (club events)

You will see that there are more events listed for Tygerberberg Photographic Society.

The events for the February competition are already available:

Two other events are also available:

TPS – SALON ACCEPTANCES

This is where you can enter your Salon acceptances to allow us to download it and show it at the club evening. It is a club rule that salon acceptances must be shown at a club event to get recognition for the acceptances (one gold award per accepted image)

TPS – WEBSITE GALLERY FOR MEMBERS

This event wil be available ± quarterly and will have a different closing date. (Not the same as club competitions)

You can upload 20 images that must be included in your own member gallery.

Please note that you must provide a selfportrait as well. The gallery will NOT be published without a selfportrait.

Images will be resized and saved in a smaller format for web viewing.

Please contact the webmaster via the Contact form on the TPS Website if you want to remove images from your gallery.

Please note that the first closing date for images that must be included in a member gallery is 27 January 2012.

Not so long ago we all prepared for a possible total IT crash, with everything attached to it, with the coming of the year 2000. Now it is 2012 and we are looking forward to yet another jam-packed year at TPS. Not only did we start the year with a brand new website (thank you Bennie), we are also looking forward to our very first National Salon. Our Salon under the auspices of PSSA will be run mid August, and planning and organising is well underway.
Photography is much like everything else in life: WHAT YOU PUT IN IS WHAT YOU GET OUT! The challenge therefore is to get stuck into whatever the Society offers. Be it outings, be it competitions, be it workshops; it is there for you.
I am overjoyed by the wonderful achievements of newcomers and one star members during the last two monthly competitions. Well done! This year is the year where the Inter Club scene is going to change.
Lets not forget: I take photographs to please myself and not to impress other people.
Have a good one in 2012

Welcome to our new website!

This is the first news item of our club’s new website.

You are welcome to browse through the website and make constructive comments. I used a WordPress Theme to construct the website and will be able to make changes within the limitations of the Theme and WordPress.

The winning Images are displayed in a Gallery on the “Winning Images” page (under menu item Galleries). I might remove the “slider” that displays the 4 winning images of November depending on the response. There will still be a monthly gallery of the winning images. Winning images will also form part of The Bellows.

The Chairman will also be able to post news items in future without any involvement of the Webmaster.
