The Masters Apprentices Photography Club Inc. – September 2026 Guest Speaker

This month we are going to spend time in Iceland and Kenya…..

Special Guest: Peter O’Brien
Presentation title: ‘Spending time in Iceland and Kenya’

Peter has been taking photos since 1974. His first film camera was a Pratica Super TL and he upgraded to the Olympus OM series after joining the Peninsula Camera Club. His photographic interests are macro travel, nature portraiture and steam trains.

Peter joined the Peninsula Camera Club after talking to Greg Watson, a former member who was attending a welding course at TAFE. Greg’s advice was to “Just come along and see if you like it” and Peter did. He has been a member of the Peninsula Camera Club for almost 35 years.

During this time Peter has held numerous positions – Vice President, on and off for eight years; President, for two years; program officer, organizing lecturers, practical nights and club outings; a member of the selection Committee since 1995; entries officer organizing judges for monthly competition; Club print director for the past 15 years and Peninsula Camera Club delegate to Photographic Society of QLD for six years.

Peter has had extensive experience within the photo club scene, at both State and National levels. He has helped organise and judge interclub and national competitions. He has also entered National and International competitions within Australia since 1991 and has gained L.A.P.S. in 1994; A.A.P.S. in 1997; S.S.A.P.S. in 2000 and FAPS and EFIAP 2006.

Not only has Peter been involved in participating in and organising competitions, but he has also been a camera club judge since 1992, judging locally and nationally. Peter has been a member of the Masters Apprentices Photography Club Inc. for a number of years, and gives his wisdom and time to help the Club and members in their photographic endeavours. He offers a unique way of seeing and through his travel, he shares the joy of being somewhere else in the world. Some of Peter’s creative images are shown below (all images are supplied and taken by Peter, who also owns the copyright on each).

Peter’s advice for new members is to enjoy photography and listen to what the judges have to say. You will not always agree with them, after all it is only one person’s opinion. Don’t be afraid to ask for assistance, we all had to start somewhere.

Our meeting will be held on Wednesday evening, 2 September 2026 at 6.45pm for a 7.00 pm start at St Bartholomew’s Anglican Church, 1357 Logan Road, Mount Gravatt.
All are welcome.

The Quiet Early Hour
We rose early to view the rock called ‘The Wave’ before our journey for the day began. Quietness filled the air, as though the world had not yet woken, and we whispered so as not to break the solitude.

I am not a morning person, but I stood in awe of the light, so soft and smooth. The cold sent shivers down my spine, yet within I felt stillness. Dew drops hung from leaves, gently moving in the breeze. Twinkles of sunlight touched them and, like dancers, they moved as one.

For a while I was simply still. No viewfinder to my eye. No searching for photographs. Just solitude and me.
What had I done to receive such a gift of peace? No thinking, no rumination, no sadness, no depression — just stillness and a sense of peace. Oh, to stay like this. What joy.

“Aren’t you going to take any photos?” a voice asked, and just like that, the moment was gone.
For a moment I felt sad, but then I quietly put the viewfinder to my eye and I was home, making images from the gifts I had received in those brief moments of stillness.

We have travelled nearly 10,000 kilometres in the last six weeks, and this special moment will be the highlight of my journey.

Thanks, Paul. Without this assignment I would never have been out of bed that early to experience it.

Motion within Stillness

Standing above the Southern Ocean over the past few days, I found myself returning again and again simply to watch. The Southern Ocean is as peaceful as it is powerful. At first, all I noticed was its immense energy—the thunder of waves crashing against the rocks, the cold wind and the relentless force of the sea. Yet the longer I stood there, the more I became aware of the quiet that followed. After each impact, the water gently retreated, flowing peacefully around the rocks before the next wave arrived.

The rocks quietly remained, absorbing everything the ocean could throw at them while the water constantly changed around them. Their stillness gave meaning to the movement.

Long after I had made my photographs, I stayed and watched, listening to the changing rhythm of the Southern Ocean. It seemed to revel in the cold wind, putting on a spectacular display of strength, yet beneath that power was a quiet presence that drew me back again and again. This assignment reminded me that stillness is not the absence of movement, but the presence of something constant within it.

Monsters go 24 hours non stop
Environment forever damaged
It must end sooner than later
Only lining rich man’s pockets
Not for all mankind

The Masters Apprentices Photography Club Inc. – August 2026 Guest Speaker

This month we are going to explore reality and time in a different way…..

Special Guest: Warren Veivers
Presentation title: ‘Stretching Reality and Time’

Warren has been interested in photography since 1959, while still at High School. Throughout the years he has been fascinated by photography in general, and has retained his abiding and possibly nostalgic love of monochrome photography, using both traditional processes and more recently, digital technology. He has exhibited in numerous National and International exhibitions, gaining the awards AFIAP and FAPS along the way.

Currently, Warren is an active member of Mt Gravatt Photographic Society (MGPS), the Photographic Society of Queensland (PSQ) Fine Monochrome Print Group and The Masters’ Apprentices Photography Club Inc. Much of this activity has occurred since his retirement some 25 years ago, when extensive travel, both local and overseas, was added to the mix.

Warren has been a member of The Masters’ Apprentices Photography Club Inc. since its foundation and can claim to be one of three people who realised the need for such a photography club and was involved in the naming process. He gives his wisdom and time to help the Club and members in their photographic endeavours.

Since 1987, Warren has been an accredited Photographic Society of Queensland judge and his experience extends beyond Club judging to include local shows and, National and International exhibitions. He has made numerous presentations to camera clubs on a range of photographic topics. In addition to this, he has presented lectures at State and National Conventions plus Judges’ Forums and training courses in Queensland and New South Wales.

Warren is interested in most genres of photography but he is particularly interested in creative and impressionist approaches to photography. He has experimented with many different creative processes, including ICM, infrared, sepia and abstraction.

Warren has unique ways of post processing including pseudo infrared and the Orton effect, which create soft and moody images. He has also been known to build his own lenses. Some of Warren’s creative images are shown below (all images are supplied and taken by Warren, who also owns the copyright on each).
Our meeting will be held on Wednesday evening, 5 August 2026 at 6.45pm for a 7.00 pm start at St Bartholomew’s Anglican Church, 1357 Logan Road, and Mount Gravatt.

All are welcome.
