First meeting 4/10/18
We had a great first meeting back on Thursday, and it was great to see some familiar faces as well as welcoming a few new ones 😊 we enjoyed looking at some of the great images taken over the summer outings and catching up on news over cake. Next Thur is a critique evening, everyone welcome, so bring a few images to share 🤓
Next meeting
As the weather is not looking great again this week, we will not be running our planned astrophotography evening this week unfortunately. Therefore our next meeting will be on Thur 4th Oct at 7.30pm in the Vestry of the Church of the Ascension in Torrisholme.
This will be our first meeting of the main season. All welcome.
Exhibition in Morecambe library
Today we opened our exhibition of members images at Morecambe library. These will be on display until 10th November. Please come along and have a look. There’s a box where you can even vote for your favourite
image 😊
Thursday 20th Sept
Unfortunately the weather is again not looking promising for astrophotography, with expected cloud cover of 100% 🌫 tomorrow evening. Therefore, we will have the workshop in the George at Torrisholme from 7.30pm as originally planned. We will look at some basic photoshop editing and Photoshop techniques including light blending (Dodge & Burn etc).
Bring an image (or two) that you would like to edit, maybe there is something on it you would love to know how to fix, or you are thinking of using it in a competition and want peoples’ opinion on how to edit it to maximise it’s potential etc etc.
Bring laptops if you have them, or images on a pen drive/SD card.
Everyone welcome, including any new members or anyone thinking of joining. As usual all our summer stuff is completely free (though we do ask for a voluntary contribution towards the cost of the room).
Hope to see you tomorrow 😊
