Club Meeting – 28 May 2014

Well, that was an informative meeting last Wednesday. We managed to get
through five of the eight topics. For more information on see the
following:

For the next meeting on the 28th May, we will have a members’ showcase.

Suggested topics include

  • Getting out with our camera and trying out some of the techniques that were discussed on Wednesday. Remember, we improve by learning and practising.
  • If you have images from the Club outing in February, this is a good time to show them.

So bring along up to a dozen (12) photos to show the group so that we can
discuss. Less than 12 is absolutely fine.

Can people please size images to 1280px on the longest side?

Can people please name images as follows?

Lastly

A good form of improviing one’s photography is to practise. One way of
doing this is to try and take a photo a day. Below are two people who are
members of local clubs in the Wellington Region who take a photo a day:
