Morning All

I hope you all took advantage of the wintery weather – looking forward to seeing all the snowy images!

Big thanks to Robin for his presentations, last Wednesday, on The Falkland Islands and Bhutan.

A few dates:

February 23rd. Beginners ‘software editing’ session. Bring some RAW, if poss, images.

March 2nd. Judging of the ‘Anything Goes Cup Competition’ by Will Stead, live in the Arts Centre. Final internal competition – where does the time go eh? Good luck to all who have entered, and, don’t forget, points mean prizes!

March 9th. Workshop – members challenged to taking one photograph each day for seven consecutive days.

Consecutive days? Theme? Where? – all your choice. Time’s ticking!

March 16th. Presentation by David Bibby entitled ‘My way with Audio Visual’.

Exhibition reminder:

9th April – 7th May – this is for any print that was not among the winners of any competition. Please label the print, on the back, with your title and name – thanks. Prints in by 9th March PLEASE.

Eva polack (Impressionist Photography): idea from Anne

A talk on the artistic side of photography. She will offer an introduction to the visual language of photography to help us capture expressive and artistic images.

As mentioned at the last meeting: a possible virtual photography talk. The main aim of the talk is to encourage people to try out various approaches to image-making and to help them develop their own way of photographing.

These talks are about £100 a go, so, if enough interest is expressed by members, I’ll investigate further.

Short (ish) and sweet today!

That’s all folks! Stay safe.

Mike and Lewis
