9th December
Tenby News
On Thursday the 9th December we welcomed Martin Patten, a member of Watford Camera Club . He has a string of photographic qualifications to his name which showed clearly when he presented his “Improving your Photography” talk. He covered a wide range of subjects from Wildlife to Architecture, showing clearly how to improve with simple things how to boost the quality. Martin explained how important it is to plan, prepare and organise yourself and your equipment. When taking a photo consider the angles, lighting, time of day and the weather. It is good to make your photograph tell a story and engage with the viewer with atmosphere and quality. His Tip “Seeing, Thinking, Taking” certainly would be helpful to many. Shoot for success and shoot less. His comments on post production, noise reduction, sharpening and lens correction were also taken on board . He emphasised that we need to prepare, and organise all aspects of a shoot, to be more successful. A thoughtful presentation which was very well received by the zoom audience.
On the 8th December Tenby CC took part in the Afan Nedd 9 way Battle . Five colour prints were entered from each club . The judge for the evening was Roy Thomas . Tenby did very well scoring two 20’s and two 19’s and an eighteen . This meant with scoring 96/100 the club won the first placing . An interesting competition with a wide range of topics, well judged and presented.
The Club will reconvene on the 6th January with a talk by Dave Watts “Above & Below” .
The Committee would like to wish all our members & followers a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year .
