Digital Photography

Our aim is to share our knowledge of photography and the digital enhancement of photographs for the enjoyment of the photographer and also friends and relations with whom they may wish to share their experiences through photographs.

We have a wide range of topics and workshops, and we can also offer advice, eg on the purchase and use of the camera for beginners and how to attach photographs to emails for sharing.

The meetings will include judging the monthly Competition pictures.

Monthly Competition Topics

The group encourages as many as possible to put entries into the competitions as it helps to develop both photographing and creative skills. Each month there are 2 competition topics, as below.

Month	Topic 1 TECHNIQUE	Topic 2 Entries due by Midnight CONTENT
September 2021	Summer Gardens	Sunset 29.8.21
October	Seaside	Flying Free 3.10.21
November	Autumn	Rain 31.10.21
December	Still Life	Green 28.11.21
January 2021	TBA	TBA
February	TBA	TBA
March	TBA	TBA
April	TBA	TBA
May	TBA	TBA
June	TBA	TBA

Examples of a skill required for a particular topic can usually be found on line.

If you Google for example “Tutorials for photographing Shadows” you will be able to find out more about that topic and what it involves. You will find lots of short videos on You Tube (some better than others) which are well worth looking at.

If in doubt, please ask a member with knowledge of a topic for assistance.
