Tuesday 25th May - Presentation My Top 30 by Kevin Pigney

 On Tuesday evening we welcomed Kevin to talked about his top 30 images. Kevin is renowned for his wildlife photography, but the evening was all about stepping out of your comfort zone and trying something new.

On display was a variety of amazing images to backup the slide show.  The genres ranged from seascapes, pet portrait, still life, wildlife and many more. With each image Kevin explained the settings and the techniques that he used.  Kevin explained that he gets inspiration from other photographers work.

Kevin has been trying out new skills such portraits both animals and people, and also still life following a visits to the National Portrait Gallery using the style of th old masters.

Kevin talked about the importance of trying new things and not getting stuck in a rut. Techniques from one genre can be transferred to another, thus improving the photographer skills.

The evening presented members with many ideas about developing new skills.

Tuesday 12th May – presentation by Tesni Ward: British Wildlife

 Tesnie has been a professional wildlife photographer for over 10 years. Her presentation showed some amazing and wonderful images. What was so special was that she did not just show her fantastic images but gave aback story, included how she had captured some of them.  No need to jet set as all of her images were taken within the UK.

Also what was much appreciated by all members was that the presentation was very interactive, with us trying to guess which animals had left various telltale signs etc.

All in all a great evening.

Sunday 10th May – Outing to Snetterton

Sunday the10th May and we were all set for a club outing to Snetterton for a day of racing.

Andrew, Emma and Rachael were the only takers and we all met up at 9am in the car park.

The day was dry but slightly chilly, but it didn't stop us having a great day, watching some good racing and even a few spectacular crashes, which luckily didn't result in any injuries.

Emma came in her campervan which we made full use of, breaking for tea, and cake kindly baked by Emma and Rachael.

We practised our panning technique and had all improved by the end of the day, 

all in all an enjoyable day out.

Tuesday 28 April In House Demonstration

 On Tuesday evening we has a practical session on contact sheets for the summer challenge and how to do a triptych using a variety of software. All demonstrations were carried out by club members.

Jack focused on Lightroom, Jan on Photoshop, Rachael on On1 and Pat on Affinity.

For some members this was a refresher and for others it was the first time. Members watched the demonstrations which were repeated several times. They were also able to asked questions, make suggestions and tryout the task for themselves.

At the end of the evening some members said that if they only took one thing away with them, then the session was a success.
