About 40 members attended the Shadows workshop around the Adelaide Convention Centre. Unfortunately the sunlight did not cast strong shadows due to the haze from the Wingfield oil fire, so members experimented with their cameras and tried different shooting techniques. A great time was had by all and it was followed up with coffee at a local hotel.

This year's beach photoshoot was held around the jetty at Semaphore from 7pm onwards.

Though the heat from last week was nowhere to be seen, we managed to avoid the rain and storms of the last few days. It did get a bit gusty at times and was a bit chilly once the sun had hidden behind the clouds on the horizon. Nevertheless, the models perservered and a fun evening was had by all.
There were 8 models who attended the workshop this year and those were Stefania, Erin, Jodie, Susan, Daria, Alyssa, Monica and Kate. This allowed for smaller groups with each of the models and gave everyone more opportunity to direct and interact with the models.
