Many thanks to everyone who contributed to our ‘show and tell’/feedback session with images of their choice. Subjects included photographs taken earlier in the year during an experiential workshop which included a table-top challenge to photograph coffee mugs, before and after competition images, the effect of lighting, travel and birds! It was an enlightening and informative evening and a lot of fun.
Next week is our AGM which will be held at Century.
Very many thanks to Dave Dixon, Alnwick & District Camera Club, for his excellent and thoroughly enjoyable talk tonight. Using the principles of rural landscape photography, Dave’s urban landscapes of Newcastle are technically and visually impressive creating atmosphere and intrigue. Throughout his talk recurrent words were projects, preparation, planning and photograph – not just once but again and again.
Thanks to everyone who came along and special thanks again to Dave for his entertaining and informative talk.
Our next meeting is on 3rd June for a members’ evening over Zoom.
In the meantime, enjoy the Bank holiday weekend,
