Thanks to Peter for covering Tuesday evening's camera skills - part 1- 'achieving correct exposure'.   A difficult subject and hopefully we all learnt something and with our cameras pointing in different directions managed to capture these:

Autumn Colours at Lynford

Our first location at Lynford Stag proved to be the best for autumn colours.  The beech trees were still full of colour - a little sunlight would have improved our chances of getting some better images but it was lovely walking through the woodland.  David Blake provided expert on- the-spot tuition for those that wanted it and I'm sure some excellent images were obtained.  We even had a go at some Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) as Francesca was there to advise. Watch out for some interesting images appearing at future competitions!
We then moved on to our second location at Lynford Arboretum.  Unfortunately most of the autumn colour was lying on the ground!  However, Geoff managed to sniff out some lovely fungi for us all to have a go at. Hopefully, some decent images were obtained.
Thanks to everyone who joined in - hopefully you enjoyed the afternoon as much as I did.

Saturday 5th November Fakenham Fireworks

Although we were lucky not to have rain what we did have was thick, low level misty fog.  We could hear the whooooooosh as the rockets were launched and then... nothing, or just an eerie glow as they exploded behind the wall of fog!  Some images of the lower level fireworks were possible. (See our group flickr site for other images)
After the display (so called!) some members consoled themselves with a delicious chinese and a few bottles of the amber nectar.  Not such a bad evening after all!
