1st October

ZOOM WORKSHOP

Zoom meetings are going well at Tenby Camera Club . On Thursday the 1st October we held an online workshop. This was well attended and very interactive. Starting with assembling a panel for competition, Charlie Kidd talked through the processes to make a layout panel which shows the judge how the panel images should be viewed. Hints on choosing the images for a panel were given using previous winning panels to illustrate . Taking over the screen next was Gill Mackay who answered questions and demonstrated how to post process. Gill discussed the advantages of using Raw as apposed to jpegs. Gill also chatted about the different post processing apps and software available . Demonstrating, using members images provided, Gill showed how great improvements could be made with a few clicks . Dave Bolton then took over, again using images from members, showing how Lightroom is non-destructive. Experimenting with several sliders and observing the effects achieved, you can decide whether you like the developed image . Dave emphasised how there is no set pattern for processing , to do what pleases you.

Many thanks to Charlie Kidd, Gill Mackay and Dave Bolton for sharing their expertise in such a relaxed and approachable way.

The next Zoom meeting on the 8th October will be the judging of the 1st Open competition.
