11th February

February 11th was a particularly impressive evening when Tenby welcomed Ross McKelvey. A highly qualified photographer, with his achievements being MFIAP, MPAGB,FBPE,EFIAP and over 300 medals in National & International Competitions since 2010 . A member of Catchlight Camera Club based in Belfast, Ross’s presentation, titled, “A Talk of Two Halves” had members spellbound . The first part was a eclectic mixture of images from creative to landscapes but it is his portrait work which sets him apart. Using beautiful professional models, he captured the female form in all it’s glory . Ross gave advice on lighting, both natural & flash, and how to use it to your advantage , as well as posing positions.

After a zoom break, Ross then took the club on an exciting journey through processing in Photoshop and Nik Collection. And my, what a journey ! Advice on shortcuts, blending modes, filters, masking, actions, sharpening and so much more. Using a wide range range of tools to improve the final image. A bit hard to keep up but we were advised that his You tube pages have lots of information and video tutorials to look at .

A memorable evening .
