June NewsletterLast MeetingNigel Choat again showed what an enthusiastic and meticulous photographer he is. He seemed to know the Latin name of every plant or bird that he photographed and also remembered which lens he used and the exposure he gave it. The result was an amazing display of alpine flowers, birds, insects and butterflies from the Pyrenees area of Spain. A real treat for natural history lovers. Next Meeting Wednesday 18th June 5 of the Best and 1 of the Worst Those with long memories will remember “6 of the Best.” No not that, I’m talking about the meetings when we asked members to show us six of their bests prints. Well this time we only want five but we also want to see one that went wrong. So dig out your finest pictures and one turkey and bring them along and tell us about them. It will be interesting to see if we agree with your choices. Pictures can be prints or digital images on CD, memory card or USB stick. Future Meetings Coming up we have slide show with commentary of the pictures from the London Salon of Photography 2007 exhibition. This is one of the premier exhibitions which is very difficult to get into. There will also be a presentation from Paul Kestenbaum called “The Camera Never Lies” Later this year we are planning a demonstration of print mounting and presentation in time for the exhibition. Exhibition Don’t forget our exhibition opens in October so we need your prints at the September meeting. That’s just three months away. Martin Secretary |
