JOHOR BARU: Members of the Nikon Club Johor Malaysia held their third get-together at Hutan Bandar Mutiara Rini in Skudai, here, recently.
The get-together saw the participation of more than 100 members.
Everyone came equipped with their own sets of Nikon cameras, some as early as 8am.
Whether professional photographers or amateurs, all were there for their hobby as well as passion for photography.
It was a sunny day and the members had a good time snapping away with their cameras, getting to know each other and exchanging tips.
The group moved from one spot to another, stopping wherever and whenever there were opportunities for great shots.
Models who were on hand to pose for them turned out to be in great demand. They were photographed at various locations with different scenery as backdrop.
The club has planned many more activities for its members. Besides this get-together, workshops and photo competitions are also being organised.
The workshops, catering to beginners as well as advanced lensmen, will charge a RM50 fee for participation.
A photo search and photo challenge are the main competitions which are being held every year. The photo search is like a treasure hunt involving photographs, while the photo challenge is based on themes. Prizes are sponsored by Nikon.
“This year, we may have an extra programme, involving portrait shots,” said Hairi Yusof, a teacher and also the state liaison officer.
“These activities help to bring the members closer and we can learn from each other how to use our cameras to its fullest potential.”
Nikon Club Malaysia is a free enrolment club for anyone who owns a Nikon camera.
Johor, with more than 2,000 members, is the state with the third most members, behind Kuala Lumpur and Selangor.
The Brunei branch is also part of Nikon Club Malaysia.
“Our membership has been seeing more women and young people joining,” said Hairi.
“Many members also find photography a good way to make money.”
Saifull Sarip, a 39-year-old professional photographer, enjoys exchanging ideas with fellow members.
“I have joined the club for some years and I enjoy the activities organised. I have taken part in the competitions and won some,” he said.
Zin Ni Fu, 30, an engineering lecturer at Pasir Gudang Politechnic, was one of the newer members.
“I am very happy to meet new friends with the same passion,” he said.
