1. What's on?
Wednesday 3rd:
* 20:00 - Meet
* 20:30 - LANDSCAPE
Peter Evers, photographer, is presenting a talk on landscape.
He's travelling some distance to be with us (Co. Kildare, I think) so can you make a special effort to be on time - seated by say 8.15 p.m. so the talk can move smoothly and allow Peter to get home this side of midnight!
One of his quotes is "for the natural world to be perceived as landscape it must be framed first in the imagination, where it is shaped by individual memory and desire."
With the landscape competition coming up and if you haven't captured your selection yet, you should pick up some useful tips {weather permitting if you're only going out now!)
* Christmas Party - Wednesday 15th December, all going well.
* Society's 50 mm Camera - get in some practice before the next 50 mm challenge. I think Stewart currently has it.
2. What's been happening?
* Great to see our new members being enthusiastic, developing their expertise and researching their first SLR. We look forward to your photographs and ideas.
* Last Wednesday we travelled into the wilder part of Wicklow. Greenane to be exact. Literally in the middle of nowhere there was this amazing dance school - it was huge. Some fantastic photographs were taken.
Each member will bring along a maximum of 10 photographs from the night's dancing for viewing. We appreciated the warm reception and co-operation from Isobelle and dancers. I could say my camera struggled with lighting on the night from wall mirrors, reflections, flourescent lights but in fact it was myself! I have a lot to learn still about lighting..........
Thanks to the drivers and their GPS knowledge.......................
3. Outstanding business
* Subscriptions - Talk with Julie and see whether you are uptodate.
