It’s been some time since we managed to update the blog – too much going on in life.
However, we had our first meeting at our new venue on 15th September at Parkside Academy. We were sorry to leave the Willington Resource Centre as they have been so helpful and accommodating, and we thank them for it. Unfortunately, it seemed that a daytime meeting was difficult for a number of people we spoke to about the club.
At Parkside, we have the use of the lecture theatre and we intend to make use of one of their IT suites to help us learn more about image editing, etc.
Why not consider joining us to share and learn more about this fantastic hobby. Members of the group have a wide variety of interests and experience – from newbies to those who developed their own films back in the day. In terms of interest, we have those interested in landscapes, macro photography, underwater and astral photography.
The club has been undertaking a project over the summer to try to document the various events and some of the businesses in and around Greater Willington. We are hoping to put up an on-line gallery of images and are looking to see if we can get some sponsorship to present an exhibition in one or more venues (probably next spring).
In the previous meeting we had been considering monochrome images and not just black and white. The challenge was to prepare monochrome images and say why they had been chosen and what had been done to them.
As you can see there are a variety of treatments and subjects. Why not let us know what you think and maybe consider coming along and joining us – we’d love to see you.
