Our next meeting on Thursday 18th February will feature a presentation entitled “Technique and Creativity in Night Photography” . Our speaker for the evening will be the extremely talented Professional Photography Tutor Nigel Forster from The Creative Photography Experience. This will be a unique and interesting evening that I am sure will appeal to many of our members who have already tried Night Photography or would like to give it a try. Another evening not to be missed !!
For next Thursday we have something very special for our members:-Together Steve & Jen are Sleepy Robot Photography!Based in Llanelli, South Wales, they have been working together for over 8 years. They pride themselves in not following convention & have been learning their craft to create unique portrait photography that has a twist from the norm!
Steve says;“Combining fashion and beauty photography to form high quality photographic art, we hope we are different! We can be found spending as much time creating props, sets or in post production as actually photographing. The result we hope is creative, unique with a little bit of wow! We hope you like our imaginative stories.Hopefully on Thursday we can share that through our talk about working on weekly themed shoots, playing with different materials to make props, and finish with some images and our journey about working with ballet dancers.”
This week is the architecture competition with our Judge Gary Shinner LRPS
For our next club meeting on 21st January we are trying something a bit different.
The club now has access to the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain Portal and the PAGB Recorded Lecture Service library.
The Programme Secretary has selected a title from the Canon EOS library of lectures that is certain be of interest to a wider audience not just Canon users.
The lecture is called “The Art of Back and White”
The presentation runs for 110 minutes, so breaks will be inserted by the Zoom Host who will be running the Lecture from a DVD.
Breaks will allow us to ensure the technology is working and gather some thoughts about the whole process. A test was carried out today (Wednesday) and it seems to work very well. This is a bit of an experiment both with the concept and the quality of the content. So please be honest in your feedback both during and after the session.
