Morning All

Thanks, first of all, to Stan for his talk last week on ‘panning’, and organising the subsequent shoot. It was really enjoyable and I think we all got something from it.

‘The Car’s the Star’ Classic Car Show at Holker Hall

Kirkby Lonsdale Motor Club are proud to welcome you to their annual ‘The Car’s the Star’ show, held in the spectacular parkland surrounding Holker Hall.

The event will include displays from all eras of motoring and motorsport – with classes and awards for all types of vehicles – as well as arena displays, trade stands and autojumble.

The Car’s the Star takes place between 11.00am and 4.00pm.

There is also plenty to see; check out their website: https://www.holker.co.uk

Meeting up? We suggest meeting up at 12.30ish in the main car park for a ‘sandwich’ lunch or the main café is very close.

Obviously, with the ‘The car’s the Star’ classic car shows it’s going to be busy! And very warm!

Wednesday 20^th July

Members evening: even if you didn’t manage to attend last week, you are, of course, most welcome this week and you can take part in the 2 mini projects listed below.

• We will be reviewing and discussing the panning shots taken last week.
• Mini project 1: Members to take a photo of a small feature of a Garstang building – they then show the image on the screen in the club and other members try and guess which building it is.  The author then reveals the identity of the building with a wide angled image’.
• Mini project 2: members would show up to 3 images in RAW and then their edited results from those images and talk about how/why they did them. The panning shot could be one of them, but not necessarily though.
• Small demonstrations on editing in Lightroom and Photoshop.
• Tea and coffee, of course!

August dates for you:
