20:00 - Committee Members: Committee Meeting to finalise programme of events for this term.
· All: Please email me any topic(s) (before six oclock on Wednesday) you would like to have considered by the Committee and covered during this new year.
20:30 - Paul shows how to get the best out of black and white printing. · Bring along a black and white you'd like to see printed. We'll try and get thro as many as we can. · Society's 50 mm Camera. Rota to be drawn up and shooting to begin ASAP.
[Caution: Talks/Events may be subject to change, due to unforeseen circumstances and will be rescheduled where possible or with another worthwhile night.]
What's been happening?
· A warm welcome to our new members, Joe, Karen and Janita. We look forward to your photographs and ideas. · Last Wednesday Paul showed an introduction to black and white printing.
· There were no applications for any committee post so this vote of confidence in the current committee is a great boost.
· As we begin a new term, every effort will be made to keep talks/events on track.
· A presenter will say whether they want to take questions during or after their presentation.
· During a presentation stay focused and don't get side tracked into side chats which are distracting for the presenter and the meeting.
3. Outstanding business · Subscriptions - Talk with Julie and see whether you are uptodate.
5. TIP Don't go crazy buying the most expensive equipment/gear just yet... . Cartier-Bresson used a film camera, with the same lens, no flash, and same shutter speed - he didn't need the newest digital equipment to take great photos.
We have our own 50mm camera to focus the mind and Colum is giving it its annual overhaul before use. Current film will be provided.
Remember: Camera to be brought back to meeting one week after issue with film intact so everybody can shoot in good time.
