May 20th - Photoshop - The Next Step - Ken Fisher.These are
2 sessions on Adobe Photoshop. Photoshop is the most common
software in use in the club, but many members want to be more
proficient. Ken Fisher is a leading trainer in Photoshop and
over the two weeks of the 13th and 20th May Ken will be giving
us the benefits of his expertise. They have been arranged on
consecutive weeks so there is a chance to practice some of the
techniques in the first week before embarking on "the next step"
(and not too much time that we forget what was done in the first
week!). They are going to be really valuable sessions and even
if you feel you know the basics, you may find that your methods
aren't the most efficient or effective. I think everyone will
learn something on each night no matter what their skill level
is. |

Don't forget that there is no meeting on

June 3rd - Club Outing to Leeds, Clarence
Dock.
This year's outing follows on from a very successful visit to
Hooton Pagnall and is a real opportunity to actual press that
shutter button on a club evening. These are always good fun and
an opportunity to take shots, compare, learn and simply have a
go at something you may not have tried before. It's a great
location with opportunities for all sorts of shots. Full details
can be found
here. |

Sally Sallett LRPS - Congratulation
to Sally who very recently gained her LRPS at the latest
assessment at York Railway Museum. She claims she was not that
nervous and given her images shown on this site she should have
been confident - but with judges you never know! Anyway
congratulations again - well deserved. If anyone else feels that
they may like to go in for it then have a word at the club
because as others have found there is a lot of help and advice
available. All it needs is some determination to get on and do
it (something I seem to be lacking as I said months ago to Sally
that I would go in for it at the same time but haven't even got
my images together yet!!). You can see her panel of images
here. |

The Hospice Calendar - After last
year's success the club was invited to submit images for this
year's hospice calendar.
the Hospice are once again highly delighted
with the images the club members have submitted and have
chosen images by Sally Sallett, Yvonne Warriner, Peter
Wells, Chris New, Geoffrey Cross, Steven Wood and Rob
Smitten.
Many thanks to all who took the
trouble to enter their images. The calendar will be
available to purchase in November. I hope to have samples of
these images on the site soon.

so please fill it in and either email it or hand it in at the
next meeting. If you haven't received a copy then you can find a

Tech Tips On Club Nights
Anyone wanting any nuggets of information, or to unlock any
technical issues they have, can chat to Bill Mahoney, Bob Jones or
Malcolm Dobson before any meeting starts - please arrive a bit earlier
than usual to chat, so it doesn't encroach on the meeting beginning.
IMPORTANT - PLEASE NOTE
Please ensure you do not park on the service road into the
complex housing the Brookhouse Club (adjacent to the bowling green) - a
clamping system is in operation and your car WILL BE CLAMPED. This is
not the work of the Club, but the private houses set beyond the bowling
green.
Click here
for a concise diagram of where we can and cannot park.

There's no pressure to submit any of your work for the club's
site, but it's a good way to break the ice & air some of your
stuff...go on, send me a few images and a bit of scribble about
your photographic experiences! |

 Latest
Wakefield Express Press Release
Every week Malcolm Dobson pens a press release for the Wakefield
Express - read them in full, here.
The
recent evening
with Ian
Beesley
presenting
his classic
reportage
style of
photography
was very
informative
and
interesting.
Focusing
here on
Yorkshires
mining
heritage Ian
explained
how he
avoided the
"red tape"
necessary
before
entering
working
mines
to obtain
such intimate
photographs of
the
conditions
of
work. Such is
the
recognition
of Ian's
work that it
was a
pleasure to
welcome the
Yorkshire
Photographic
Union
president,
Howard Tate,
for this
special occasion.
April 01 -
no meeting,
but we will
be flying
again on
Monday 8th
April when
Paul Haxby
drops in to
educate us
on his
passion for
Paramotor
flying and
at the same
time getting
some
great aerial
pix. This is
another date
for your
diary and
good reason
to visit the
New
Brookhouse
Club, 221
Barnsley
Road,
Wakefield,
WF1
5NU on most Monday
evenings, starting
at 7:30pm.
Monday 15th
is one of
our photo
competition
nights when
members
photographs
will be
assessed by
judge Colin
Gower.
Subject
matter this
time is
for "landscapes"
and will be
an interesting
evening to
learn from
the critique
- not that
we always
agree with
judges
comments! You
can find
more club
info at
www.wakefieldcameraclub.org.uk we
look forward
to seeing
you soon.
