Date My Mate @ The Greenwood - 13 Oct

**Friend-powered dating** — where mates get on the mic and pitch their single friends to the room. **VENUE** **Tuesday 13 October, doors 6pm, The Greenwood Hotel, 36 Blue St, North Sydney.** We're going back to where it started. The Greenwood was our launch venue in July! **HOW IT WORKS** A friend takes the mic for two or three minutes with a short slide deck about why you're a catch. It's funny, it's flattering, and it's a lot less awkward than talking yourself up. Then everyone mingles — you just go up and say "Hi, I liked your pitch". No rotations, no timing, no ratings. **ALL WELCOME**. Singles and non-singles alike. Singles get a green wristband and everyone else gets an orange wristband! **TICKETS** — booked on our site, not through Meetup: [https://datemymate.au/events/greenwood](https://datemymate.au/events/greenwood) • MINGLE $49 — Admits one. Come and enjoy the show. Mingle afterwards • PITCH $89 — Admits two. A mate pitches a friend or two mates pitch each other. All tickets include your first two drinks. Please note: an RSVP on Meetup does not hold you a spot. Questions? Message us here on IG [@datemymate_au](https://www.instagram.com/datemymate_au/) or email hello@datemymate.au

SSP TUE...CENTENNIAL PARK

We will meet with nature and birds. **Helpful information for you to consider:** A telephoto lens is recommended for this event and a digital mirrorless or SLR would be handy. A focal length of 200mm or more is recommended for bird photography. I find shutter priority setting of 1/500th or faster on auto ISO will heed good results. You may find autofocus and shutter speed around 5 to 10 frames per burst will work well. Stan and I look forward to your company on the day We will meet at Centenial Homestead and . More details to come later.

SSP WED - Northside Photography Chat; Getting to a Monochromatic Film Look

Meet for chat over a drink and snack or dinner. Tonight, we will discuss getting a film look to your street photography images whilst still using a digital camera. If you wish to discuss any aspects of your camera or photography technique, please bring the manual and your camera. Bring your laptop with your editing software installed & 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 want photo critique, pls bring print, or full size images, preferably 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, too small a display to be critical. More info on the venue here chatswoodrsl.com.au Plenty of free parking available nearby as well as the bus stop at the door or metro & rail just 50m away.
