Good afternoon, all
Many thanks to the members who managed to take 7 (or 6 images) in 7 days and for presenting them; it was great to see the good response and all the different images on show.
Next time we should perhaps set the challenge when it’s warmer!
Thanks also to all members who submitted prints for our first exhibition on 9th April. If anyone wishes to bring any prints in, PLEASE do so by next Wednesday, March 16th. We still need 1 more volunteer, by the way, for Friday 8th April for a couple of hours. Please help!
I hope everyone has now received the Events Cup destination list and the dates are now in your diaries! We are looking forward to members taking part in some, if not all, the visits.
A reminder of some March dates:
March 16th. As we mentioned last Wednesday David Bibby was booked to give a presentation entitled ‘My way with AV’ but he had caught Covid. Dave has confirmed that he is still testing positive and therefore he has cancelled for Wednesday.
So, in his place, John has booked Ric Gillams and his talk is ‘Self Drive in Namibia’. Zoom invite below if you need it.
Below is from his website:
About me: When I first started shooting my emphasis was always on finding new places and things to photograph. More recently I am interested in capturing moments in time. Through my 365 projects from 2015 and 2016 I have started to appreciate the beauty in the everyday things I walk past and at the same time have developed the technical ability to capture moments and to get creative in both my choice of shutter speeds and my composition.
The ability to quickly adapt to new situations and to feel completely at one with your equipment is absolutely necessary when shooting weddings, which I thoroughly enjoy. The interaction with people and the opportunity to capture that once in a lifetime occasion and to preserve those memories forever is a real honour and has to be the best reason for getting out of bed in the morning!
I have been fortunate enough to travel to many fantastic places and meet lots of great people. As a result, my photography spans a range of genres, whether I’m shooting a wedding in a sleepy village in England, wildlife in Africa, racing cars at Goodwood or street photography in Tokyo. It is all great practice for being able to get the shot when the moment comes.
March 19th – Saturday. The club is running a coffee morning at the Arts Centre. If anyone is willing to help out, they would be very welcome! From approx. 9.30 – 12.30. Also, we will need some cakes/biscuits/or anything edible to sell! Please have a word with Mike or Lewis when we next meet.
March 20th. Last submission for the L&CPU Annual Club Competition. We would only enter the PDI sections, not prints. We are entering the ‘Open’ and ‘Nature’ sections. Details in previous newsletters – any questions? Just email us, no problem!
March 23rd. Committee meeting.
March 30th. Beginners ‘software editing’ session. Looking at Lightroom again and/or some Photoshop tools or you could bring in some images (preferably RAW), to be processed or process them yourself!
