Editor - Derek Godridge (Back from a lively Goodwood Revival) & Paul Cooper PCC News of the Week:
Reminder – CPA 50th Anniversary Book - Please let me know by email within the next week so we can get the order in to Lorraine Robbins.
The Helston Railway trip is coming up next Thursday 30th September as per Karen’s email notification, so please be there by 12.30 as you don’t want to miss the train !
Meetings
1. Don’t forget FEES are due - speak with Christine Hamshaw to pay.
2. This week was hosted a practical Camera Session with members bringing their hardware and images and asking for practical advice. It included camera settings, lens types and future purchase options through to tips on images. The evening was billed as “There is no such thing as a stupid question” because we don’t know what we don’t know and there were plenty of folk available to answer both basic and more complex questions. Images were constructively critiqued and our experts gave advice on how to bounce light into the shot to remove shadows from faces. For example: if you don’t have a reflector handy a simple piece of A4 white paper will often bounce enough light upwards to banish those pesky shadows
Next week 30th Sept will be a “Show and Tell” evening with Karen, Eve and Claire D.
In a couple of weeks time we have a Photoshop event with Victor so please start sorting out any images you want to work on.
In 4 weeks time we have a Member’s Critique evening so if you have any images you want the club members to discuss and critique then start sorting them out.
