'A Woman Under the Influence' (1974)

A Woman Under the Influence is a 1974 American drama film written and directed by John Cassavetes, and starring his wife Gena Rowlands and close friend Peter Falk. Rowlands plays a housewife whose unusual behavior leads to conflict with her blue-collar husband (Falk) and family. Since its release, the film has been regarded as Cassavetes' magnum opus, with Rowlands' performance often being cited as one of the best of all time. In 1990, the Library of Congress selected the film for preservation in the United States National Film Registry for being "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant", being one of the first fifty films to be listed. The film featured in Sight and Sound's 2012 list of the greatest films of all time on both critics and directors polls. Join us to see this iconic movie and for a discussion over drinks afterwards!

The Invite (Olivia Wilde, U.S.A. 2026 film) + drinks only

SSP TUE...PYRMONT(Small camera)

**1st meetup point:** The anchor outside the Australian Maritime Museum at 10.am N.B. For those who like coffee there is a shop opposite HMAS Vampire. You can get a takeaway coffee from there. **2nd meetup point:** The Terminus Hotel/ Pub at Pyrmont at Midday Enjoy the walk from the Maritime Museum around the wharves at Pyrmont Bay; it is relatively flat and opportunities are around for street and architectural photography. Backgrounds include modern industrial designs, classic sandstone and boats moored to create interesting images. I feel that a compact or mirrorless camera with a fixed prime lens or two would do the job, anywhere between 28 to 50mm. It is open to both digital and film people. Experiment with different film saturations soft, standard, vivid, seipa or even monochrome within your digital camera menu. Alternatively, you could try black and white film around 400 ISO or ASA with a medium amount of grain to get that classic look. The idea is to have a camera that is relatively small to take discrete photos of people, running, walking their dog, fishing, involved in their conversations etc that tells a story or conveys a message through your images. Look for opportunities as you walk, there are plenty of seats on the walk where the subject may pass by while you’re sitting waiting for the image to present itself for your composition. The idea is to slow down and observe rather than rush to the second meetup point. The pub has an interesting history of past colourful characters and is one of the oldest Sydney public bars. The menu has a variety of food at standard prices, and the pub has an assortment of drinks to choose from. Stan and I look forward to seeing you there on the day. Ian

SSP WED - Northside Photography Chat

Meet for chat over a drink and snack or dinner. Tonight, if you are in the mood, we can discuss editing images, camera setup, technique and photo critique. I will bring a laptop with Lightroom Classic installed. We can discuss any aspect of editing your images. Most image editors are similar, so even if using a different editor, the techniques are similar, mainly due to the menu system. Feel free to bring image(s) on a usb stick, SD, microSD memory card or an iPhone that supports Airdrop. Using Lightroom we can work on extracting the story of the image. If you wish to discuss any aspects of your camera or photography technique, please bring the manual and your camera. If you want photo critique, pls bring full size images, not resized on a usb stick, SD, microSD memory card or an iPhone that supports Airdrop. Please do not ask for a critique on images displayed on a mobile phone.
