What's a leading line, why are triangles golden and what does the Fibonacci sequence have to do with photography? All of these questions will be answered by our resident expert who will be standing on the thirds the whole night whilst avoiding being cropped letterbox style.
Not a bad subject for a lensball as we all head up to Mow Cop castle and the Old Man of Mow tonight. There is a car park but it is likely to shut early so try and find somewhere to park on the road and then meet by the castle. If you don't have […]
Our new MLC is on the case with exact details of what's happening upstairs in the big room tonight. Watch this space
But whatever it is it's worth the journey to Werrington for. And that's probably a journey his notes wont be making as he'll probably leave them at home again. He will then say things with confidence and we'll take them as fact. Not that he has history or anything.... But his talks have always been […]
Another night out in the sun and to a new place too. Directions and further details will be in your email closer to the time.
And show pictures.....they won't be as good as mine but at least she's having a go and can even be marginally humorous at times. Best come along and show your support now I've bigged her up so much :-).
Westport Lake that is of course. There are lots of birds about if you like photographing that sort of thing or, if you like something interesting (now I'm in trouble!) the back bit of the lake is a relatively new area which is a bit spooky (until we get there anyway) and worthy of a […]
I'm sure our MLC will be on the case with this one as we bring our ideas along and work together to create some spectacular images. Well that's what has always happened before so I don't see why tonight will be any different! Upstairs in the big room so plenty of space to be creative. […]
On a balmy Summer's evening where better than to go than here? I have no idea to be honest. I've never heard of it let alone been there but Nicko recommended it so you can praise him when it turns out to be amazing. And if it isn't..... But I'm sure it will be! Details […]
We've been up to so much recently that we may have to limit how many pictures people can submit or we'll be here for a week.....which isn't a bad idea... It will be nice to catch up and see what we've been up to recently. Details on when and where to submit your photos will […]
Watch out for the horse flies as we venture round the gardens of the Tawny Hotel near Consall. The gardens are glorious but long sleeves are recommended, especially in this heat. There can't be many better places to spend a hot, Summer's evening though. Details and directions will be in your email closer to the […]
But will we be soaking Nicko again?? We are upstairs this week as we try out various water-based styles of photography that will mean you need your tripods as well as your cameras of course. If you're not sure what all this madness entails, someone will be on hand to show you so, paddling pools […]
I've never been here so can't wait to see what is in store for us tonight as we visit a colliery for the first time. It is quite likely that Nicko will end up getting sent down the mines and we won't see him again and that would be a risk I'd be willing to […]
In Room 1 will be NOT Claire showing some basic things you can do in Photoshop and answering any (sensible) questions you might have. It's my parent's 60th wedding anniversary so Claire will not be available. Who will take up the mantle? Phil? Picko with Lightroom? Form an orderly queue folks! In the other room […]
.......and I'm sure I have some pictures somewhere too.....who volunteered me for this? How am I supposed to remember where I was and what's in the pictures? One not to miss obviously....
Our 'Summer' trips usually start with a trip to the Roaches but, after two almost wash-outs, we have moved it until later in the year because it's going to be a lovely Summer's evening tonight. We will be going to a different place than previously and full details will be in your email closer to […]
And there may even be some paint flying around too apparently. That's pretty normal isn't it? I'd bring a camera and probably a tripod if I were you and do some research beforehand to see what media you want to mix and take pictures of. Well it sounds like fun to me!
Graham and friends (family too) will be kindly throwing open the doors for us at Foxfield Railway again for another very special night. We are very lucky to be given this opportunity and see places, engines, carriages etc that the public don't get to see. Monies will be donated to the railway.
Ladies and gentlemen we have a volunteer! And it's Nicko who has offered to do a presentation on why he likes or even loves photography. And we said a hearty YES! Come along and find out why!
But not in that order..... The faster we plan our Winter programme the more show and tell you get..... Where to send your pictures will be revealed in an email closer to the time.
