Will it be red for romance (it is nearly valentine's Day after all)? Will it be red roses? Will it be blood? Will it just be to stick to the rule of always having something red in your picture? Will it be something else....red? It's up to you! You have the upstairs room and your […]
We are delighted to welcome Ashley back as we have all been looking forward to part 2 of The Wider World of Photography. Part 1 was highly entertaining and I'm sure part 2 will be just as good if not better! Please note that we will be upstairs this week.
We are delighted to welcome Lee back who did such a great talk last year. This time he will be talking about sports photography so definitely one not to miss.
Yes it's time already to plan our Summer programme so bring along your suggestions and volunteering heads as we get the diary full quickly ready for another of our universe-famous show and tells. Details to follow in your email.
We're upstairs again as you finally get the chance to do that project you've been meaning to get round to but never had the time. Plus you have the benefit of having people around you to help, encourage and even model for you. But what will YOU do?
A very special evening as model Natasha shows us how to pose a model and then poses for us so we can put into practice what we have learnt. I know a lot of us struggle with this so this is something we have waited a long time for. Please note that this is a […]
Louise has been promising to do a presentation for us for many a year and now finally the time has arrived! Fill the room, bring cake and celebrate as she steps up and continues this epic series by explaining and showing why she loves photography.
You wanted more and you've got more! Tonight is an elaboration on Bob's recent visit with a live demo showing how you can take your photography from the ordinary to the extraordinary. There will also be time for the some of the questions that Bob didn't have time to answer last time as well as […]
In the big room tonight as we shoot each other. Again. But this time you are only allowed to use one light. Bag searches will be done at the door in case you try and smuggle an extra one in. Or probably not. Maybe have a look on the internet or even in a book […]
See, I told you you wouldn't have to wait too long to get this presentation that was postponed from the first week in January....and then from the last week in February.... Hopefully there will be no snow tonight or I forgot I'd booked a guest speaker in as Claire shows us some pictures that demonstrate […]
Tonight is a Limited Edition show and tell night as we ask you to submit pictures for discussion that are single light portraits. Ones from April 9th and any you have taken since are more than welcome as we nail down the subject and all become experts. Again.
In the big room tonight as we shoot each other. Again. We might even shoot Tasha too. But this time you are only allowed to use one light. Bag searches will be done at the door in case you try and smuggle an extra one in. Or probably not. Maybe have a look on the […]
You asked for it and Claire is going to provide it as she takes a night either introducing or reaffirming the basics. I think she's starting with aperture and the second half may be a practical outside (weather permitting) so bring your camera along because the best way to learn is by having a go.
I've only ever done this by accident before, take a picture of a tabletop, but now Nicko reckons we can have a whole night on it....! Or it could be something to do with taking pictures FROM a tabletop....that sounds a bit more likely.....so bring your cameras, maybe a subject to shoot and we'll supply […]
Tonight we will be visiting the much lauded grounds of Keele University where apparently there is free parking too. Lots to see and photograph I am told so I'm looking forward to this one. Further details on parking will follow in your emails later.
We haven't done this for a few years so we're bringing it back. So what happens, you send your unedited pictures to Claire and she sends them out to anyone that wants a go at editing them. On the night we show them and see how everyone would edit them. More details to follow in […]
Another place I've never been to so I'm looking forward to this. And so should you. A reliable source tells me it's worth visiting. So we shall. More details to follow such as parking info in your emails.
Yes, it's back by universally popular demand (with only one objector....can't think who that would be...) as we soak Nicko and pretend we care that the water will be freezing.....mwa ha ha ha. It's actually water wigs night where we place a water-filled balloon on his head, then pop said balloon and take a picture […]
Thanks to Graham we are back at Foxfield railway and your esteemed MLC will be sourcing us a suitably dressed model to shoot while we are there. Always a highlight of the Summer our Foxfield night out is always a great evening so don't be a daftie and miss out or the carriages will talk […]
In one room John Jones will be demonstrating FastStone which is a free, basic editing software while Claire will be covering masks and FCM layering in Photoshop. And if neither of those interest you then either next door (not Debby's house) or outside you will be doing off camera flash. All bases covered methinks.
