Dear members
This year we plan to hold four in-house club photography projects. These are in addition to our four exhibitions and will help members to build a portfolio of photographs. Members will be invited to bring their photographs to a designated meeting for a peer review and advice if necessary. The first of these projects will be Themed “ Shapes“ and the review date will be Club meeting Wed 11th April.
So when you are out and about this Springtime take a look around for “ Shapes “ in Nature / Landscape / Architecture etc. or perhaps “ Shapes “ closer to home and capture the shot.
Bring your jpgs ( up to 10 photographs per member on a memory stick / disc ) to the Club meeting scheduled for Wed April 11th and tell us about your experience

So far this year “Abandoned or Discarded” for the Spring Exhibition and now “ Shapes “ for a club project in April. what next ?
Hold on to your tripod. We have more themes in the pipeline including a self improvement program with John Carroll

More on these next week

Regards

Sam Keegan
