Last Monday – Members Critique

Last Monday's member critique night was a great opportunity to socialise with and learn from our fellow members. It is always helpful to get gentle feedback on our images.

Good luck to everyone who entered.

Visiting Provence?

Are you going near the Camargue and want to shoot horses (sic)?

If you are planning a trip to Provence next year, why not get a photo shoot in the Camargue? We found Cecile Domens brilliant on our recent trip and we have no reservations about recommending her – she is a photographer and has the respect of the horsemen. She also has shoots from 3 hours to 3 days. Her website is https://cecile-domens-photo.com/. 

Useful Links

Here is a list of links that members might find useful:

http://www.cardrecovery.com/
If you have lost or deleted images by accident you shouldbe able to retrieve them by using Image Recovery Software such as Card Recovery. The software costs about €40, and is well worth it to retrieve missing images.

This helps show you what effect various settings will have on your photos.

Here are the next scheduled meetings and events for the Society:

Next Club Competition

The next Club Competition will be judged on Monday evening. 

Please note that submitting to the link above will give Steve permission to pass your images to Ian for Dropbox to avoid having to upload the images twice.

If you cannot be at the club for the competition judging, please arrange with a friend to collect your images.
