You asked for it and here it is....a night of photo manipulation and I have a variety of real-life volunteers demonstrating various programmes for you to dip in and out of. We have Liz, Picko and Kitto on Lightroom, while Nicko and Claire will be showing stuff using a little-known programme you probably won't have […]
Hayley has very kindly agreed to come back with even more creatures! She will be bringing reptiles this time too so get your cameras ready! We will be upstairs for this one so Claire can avoid the snakes.....
Well maybe not all the way round in the time we have but we will be visiting Tittesworth Reservoir this fine sunny evening. Please bear in mind that the car park requires a fee. There will also be the option of playing my numbers game.....so, will you be lucky??
Continuing our tour of Great Britain we have a two-parter tonight as one half will feature your pictures from Cornwall and the other half from Ireland. Instructions on where to send your pictures will be in your email so let's get inspired, share memories and admire each others' pictures. Before we do that though, we […]
We're off to another local reservoir tonight as we head to Knypersley. We haven't been there for a few years so it will be nice to go back. Meeting arrangements will be in your email closer to the time.
What???? I hear you cry but it will be me that will look like I've been crying as I have been volunteered to be a model and have water-filled balloons popped on my head....wives eh! More volunteers welcome...... You will need cameras and tripods and I will need a change of clothing. We have the […]
Now confirmed! The cost for the evening is £35, all payable in cash on the night please. More info on where we are going HERE.
And I'm guessing we will want to after tonight. Making her debut at the front and talking about and showing her pictures from Bhutan come and cheer Judy on!
I have enquired......at two local steam railways.....
You can only use a camera you have made yourself......from scratch.... That's what this means right? Or maybe it's okay to have a bought camera and you have to make your own tripod and flash? We are upstairs so there's plenty of room to make stuff. Or maybe you can use whatever you want to […]
Always a favourite and popular night out, we are once more venturing to this splendid nature reserve. There's a waterfall, other water features, birds and enough greenery to thrill a Plymouth Argyle supporter. Apparently, if you can get down low and have the confidence that you will be able to get back up again, there […]
Time spent with Nikki is always time well spent and tonight it's only going to cost you £2.50. For this you will get a whole night of entertaining talk and photographs and we'll even throw in some biscuits and a drink. Tonight's presentation is entitled 'Why I love photography'.
Lots of recent pictures to show and talk about as we've been up to quite a lot so get them in to Claire following the instructions in your email....which at this point will be a lot later....
Well Park Hall anyway. And by the lake too. Bring cameras, get dressed up if you want and wait and see who will be modelling for us.....
Have a look online and get inspired or ask Nicko for ideas and maybe join his facebook group on the subject. Be creative and bring in toys, props and backdrops. Same thing with product photography-how creative can you be? We are upstairs so there's plenty of room to build sets! Bringing a camera would be […]
Another inspiree of Nikki's and another welcome volunteer as Picko shows and tells us why he loves this hobby/pastime/obsession that has us meeting up every week. This was scheduled for next year but has been brought forward due to a speaker having to postpone-thanks to Picko for getting it together so quickly!
With a bonus nature reserve attached. Come along and support this superbly preserved old house, take photos, drink coffee and utilise someone dressed up in period costume. Thanks to Alan R for sorting this. Please bring fees along on the night as they will be going to the upkeep of the hall.
The night you will have been waiting six months is finally here as we have part two of the critiquing night begun in March. But will they start from scratch or use the pictures not used last time.....you'll have to wait and see! No you won't.....new pictures required! PLEASE NOTE! This will be held at […]
PLEASE NOTE! This will be held at St Mary's Church, Maryhill Road, ST2 9BJ which is just up the road from our usual meeting place. Turn up by the war memorial and it's on the left, with the car park on the right. Inside and outside the church. Enjoy!
