Next Monday Night

 

Next Monday evening we are going to be back at the school. We will be taking macro/tabletop images, so please bring in any light tents/boxes or small lighting setups you may have as well as any small items you would like to photograph.

 

Close-up/macro lenses or any standard lens will be useful for this style of photography. This will be a fun and educational evening. 

 

We have some images from the last SWM left in storage, please collect your fantastic images.

 

Last Monday Night

 

We had a very interesting and useful members' critique session. It is always of benefit to hear other people's points of view on images, as there may be something in it that had not previously been considered.

 

Carboot Sale

 

The next car boot sale will be held on the 20th of March.

Please send Emily a list of items that you would like to sell with a description of the item and the price that you would like for it. Emily will circulate the list before the car boot sale so that people can see what is available.
