The May Online Competition - Shadows |
|
Peter Wells has delivered his verdict and has
picked out the top three from this month's selection. How
appropriate after announcing her recent LRPS, Sally Sallett
takes the top prize. Well done to her - has her imagination no
bounds? Yvonne Warriner and Steve Womack were awarded second and
third respectively. See Peter's comments and all the entries
here. The
subject for June is "Lights Night" so over to you and let's have
plenty of entries for this informal (so you've nothing to lose!)
competition. |

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.
