Friday 17th June - Mildenhall Greyhound Racing

A very enjoyable evening at Mildenhall with some evening sunshine to help at the beginning of the evening.  Unfortunately there were a few technical hitches with the starting traps and the computerised betting system going on the blink which meant we lost quite a bit of usable daylight by the time they had sorted the problem out.

In spite of that we managed to grab a few shots of the action some of which can be seen below:-

Tuesday 14th June - post processing tips with Ian Robinson

Three Club members had enjoyed a private workshop with Ian last winter and persuaded him to come to a club meeting and share his post processing tips.  It was a good evening with plenty of opportunities to discuss techniques and share ideas.  Starting with RAW images, Ian took us through his typical workflow for processing landscapes and wildlife images.  I'm sure we all picked up a few new ideas and one thing was very apparent, there are many different ways of processing images and we all have our favourite tools and techniques.

Thank you, Ian.  You can see more of Ian's images and workshop details on his website http://www.irphotographyuk.com/.
