An important announcement
for the Twin Spurs Rally
Hi everyone, if you have booked an accommodation for this event, please let Roger Petrucci know ASAP, so the numbers for the Saturday night dinner can be organised. Don't worry about costs, this will be collected later (don't ask when).
Also if you are wanting to go to the pub for Friday Nights dinner, then let us know in the comments on Facebook as to which sitting ( 5:30 or 7:00 pm ). If you are wanting to reserve a table for a group, then please supply the names of those people, so there isn't any doubling up.
For further details of the Twin Spurs Rally, see lower down.

Ulysses 2022 Calendar
We are looking at producing a 2022 Ulysses Yarra Ranges Calendar and would ask members if they would like to upload their favourite image to be considered for one of the months of the year.
The images should: Be a minimum of 5MP (Megapixel)
. Represent a Ulysses Yarra Ranges activity.
. Going to or coming from Brunch
. A Group Ride or event
. Images at the Brunch or Events such as Twin Spurs etc
Basically if you think it looks good and the image has something in it that reflects the Ulysses Yarra Ranges way of motorcycling life then it will be considered for the calendar.
The Committee will decide how the final images are selected Images can be viewed at:
https://twoshotmut.smugmug.com/Ulysses-Yarra.../n-jCrMV6
Password: Brunch
Images can be uploaded at:
https://twoshotmut.smugmug.com/.../Ulysses2022Calendar
Three things to think about for the image:
1. Use the Rule of Thirds :- Divide the picture into three equal parts vertically and horizontally. This creates a grid with nine squares and four intersecting lines. The four places where the lines meet are where your picture’s points
of focus should be - Bike, Person/s, Building, Tree etc etc
2. The Golden Hour :- In photography, the golden hour or magic hour, is the period of the first and last hour of sunlight. Golden hour sunlight has great photographic significance. It takes on a different quality to other times of day.
3. Don't think about it :- That quick off the cuff shot that just looks great! We look forward to seeing your images
