13th October 2010

Short newsletter as I was waiting on info and am off now. See you later. G Wednesday 13th: 20:00 - Committee Members: Committee Meeting . 21:00 - PhotoSchool starts - Guess where? With the basics! Everybody can benefit, new members, recent members, seasoned members! The Master of the Darkroom will preside. Society's 50 mm Film Camera.is being dusted down and brought out for members to "think" about settings, composition as compared to the almost instant use of digital cameras. A rota is being drawn up and shooting will begin shortly - could be based on seniority so don't be scared... [Caution: Talks/Events may be subject to change, due to unforeseen circumstances and will be rescheduled where possible or with another worthwhile night.]. 2. What's been happening? Well done to the new members who have stayed the course and are eager for PhotoSchool to start. Expect unique perspectives as our new members upset traditional approaches! Be creative and realise your own potential. Anything and everything is possible so commit yourself to this new PhotoSchool Year. An interesting example of creativity is Colum's Space Odyssey (no, not oddity) which was officially opened on Saturday 9th October in Birr Castle by the Earl of Ross. Colum and his work is now part of the history of the castle. The exhibition is on until January. Members trekked there and were given suitable refreshments. Local newspapers present. Ask Questions! Don't accept everything on face value. We need to be constantly challenged Rumpole gave an introduction to photography law. Commonsense was a useful guide to what could and couldn't be photographed.
