December 22nd 2020 – Christmas Party

Well, December 22nd should have been our Christmas party night. Normally we all take something to eat and drink to share, and have a photo quiz. Sometimes we’ve taken some of our prints, or albums or photo books to have a look at and chat about.

Obviously, this year it wasn’t possible. So we met on Zoom as we have been doing since the restrictions began back in March. We all sat in front of our screens with a glass in hand and a mince pie. We did still have our quiz and below you will see the images that were presented for us to try to work out. The images were of things taken from unusual angles, or local places from a different perspective, etc. Some you may find easy, others a bit more difficult.

Clicking on the image will reveal more which may or may not make it easier.

If you want to drop us an email with what you think they might be, please do and we’ll let you know if you’re right.

As ever, if you would like to get involved with the club just get in touch through the contact page.

January

January Meeting

We met at the beginning of January, most of us still feeling the effects of the Christmas and New Year celebrations. We had our usual chat around images we had taken and seen. For a bit of fun, and to try out a new technique, we played around with ‘zooming’ – not the easiest of techniques to master, but one that can bring some interesting images. We had a sample image to look at and then set up the intrepid Lego men for each member to have a go at. Obviously, this relies on the fact that you have a camera that will allow good control of the zoom lens. Even had there been someone who didn’t have such a camera or was still using film, there was sufficient cameras with that capability for anyone to have a go. Hopefully we’ll get some of the images up soon.

December Meeting

December Session

Our meeting began with showing some images we had taken to try to capture Autumn – that was our monthly challenge (you can see a couple on this page).

A brief discussion was had about the club holding an exhibition of images taken by the members, possibly in the summer. Watch this space.

We talked, in more detail, about using shutter speed and aperture settings creatively and how to steady oneself when taking images with slower shutter speeds, especially when a tripod was not to hand.

We decided that the monthly challenge would be for an image that says “Christmas” to us.
