This Thursday we have a members evening where members can show their images from the Wiltshire Caledonian Pipes & Drums photo shoot a few weeks ago. Members can either show their images taken on the night, or if anyone is feeling creative, they can produce a short DVI slide show (5 minutes max) created from their images.

Non-members are welcome to come along for up to 3 taster meetings before joining. All we ask is that you pay the £2 entrance fee for those 3 evenings. We meet at St Thomas’ church hall at 7:30 (see map).

Unfortunately our presenter for Thursday night, Bob Bishop has come down with a particularly nasty tummy bug and is unlikely to be able to make it on the evening.

Fortuitously Jeff Barber is able to come to the rescue with a more in depth talk on Lightroom and image management. It was very clear from last week’s excellent talk that he has a great deal more to offer us, so we intended to schedule another session later in the season. Bringing it forward to this week will give it continuity, a chance to discuss some of the finer points, and an opportunity for more questions.  Bring your questions on image management, lightroom and anything computer related. Looking forward to another interesting and educational meeting.

We will schedule Bob for his presentation in the new year.

Submissions will still be due for the DPI Competition – “Open” (Any subject, any genre).

Non-members are welcome to come along for up to 3 taster meetings before joining. All we ask is that you pay the £2 entrance fee for those 3 evenings. We meet at St Thomas’ church hall at 7:30 (see map).

This Thursday we have a presentation entitled “Have Camera Will Travel” by Bob Bishop EFIAP/p, BPE5, LRPS. This talk covers several genres including landscape, a trip to Burma, street, a model shoot and event photography. Bob also breaks down some of the images to show how they have been edited to achieve the final result.

This Thursday we will be holding a technical evening – Adobe Lightroom Masterclass by Jeff Barber. Jeff is a very experienced Lightroom user and the evening will be full of tips and advice on how to get great results from this very popular photo editing software.

If you have any particular questions about Lightroom or any specific issues/problems you would like to overcome with Lightroom, Jeff would no doubt be willing to explain how. You could even bring the image along on a USB stick to work through.

This Thursday is an opportunity for members to bring along some images (DPI or print) to explain why they used the particular camera settings or chose that composition and/or to allow critique from the other members to get suggestions on how the image could be improved. It will be an informal, supportive and non-competitive environment where members can give their valued opinions.

Members can bring along up to 6 images (DPI or print), if DPI the images can be emailed to Kevin or brought on a USB stick etc.
