2nd July
After a discussion of what the club accepts as a safe way forward, it was decided to sign up to the Zoom App and to proceed to plan the club programme around it .
The autumn programme and beyond will be going ahead more or less as planned. There will be some changes with speakers and judges, unfortunately not all are prepared to use Zoom . A new programme, when finalised ,will be posted on the website.
As we are using Zoom it may be easier for people to join in without having to travel. If you wish to join the club, all details can be found on the website. Club meetings via Zoom will be on a Thursday evening at 7.30 pm .
During the summer period there will be a selection of entertainment & instruction. There will be quiz on the 16th July & a Lightroom/ Photoshop workshop on the 30th July . A top class UK speaker is being booked for August too. More information to follow soon .
On the 2nd July we held a mini competition “ Whilst in Lockdown”, judged live via Zoom by club member Gill Mackay . There was an excellent standard of images, 35 in all, which Gill critiqued carefully with constructive comments. These were about small adjustments, for instance cropping & watching for bright distracting marks.
Gill gave two images the top spot, these were “Badger” by Dave Bundock and “Why so seripus” , a cat portrait by Ali Rees. John Whitehurst was 2nd with “Thick legged Flower Beetle” and Lizzie Wallis was 3rd with “Goldcrest” .Dave Bundock entered another Badger image which was highly commended . Mick Halligan gained a commended with “ Preseli Wild Pony “.
A short chat afterwards concluded the evening, just a shame we can’t share a cuppa together in person.
