Coming Up....

The Point Shoot Play girls have been super busy teaching and organising up-coming events.

Thank you to Lisa and her girls at Remember When in Gympie!! Peta and I travelled to Gympie on Sunday and spent the day teaching and having a lot of fun. Wow, Lisa knows how to feed her girls!!



Andrea joined Peta at Blossies (Morayfield) last Friday night, too. Peta taught a fantastic class and I hear most are keen to get back into learning more about manipulating their photographs more creatively.

Stay tuned for some Show information! We are currently putting together our Gold Coast Craft Fair schedule and booth. Email Mel on mel@pointshootplay.com to book your place in a Photoshop class or Photography seminar.

PHOTOSHOP CLASS - $45
Begin to learn how to manipulate photographs using Photoshop Elements 5. Most photomanipulation software is similar, so you will definitely pick up some information you can use in your software (if you don't have PSE5).

Each participant will be able to work through examples on an individual laptop as well as learn how to use a Wacom Bamboo Fun graphics tablet, throughout the class, while your Tutor explains via a projector and screen.

PHOTOGRAPHY SEMINAR - $20
Relax while our Photographer/Tutor explains the different functions on your 'Point & Shoot' or digital SLR camera and gives you tips and tricks to taking better photographs!


We hope to see you there!!
Sara.
