Photoshop Evening 25th Jan 2010

On Monday night we had a question and answers on photoshop evening, Where steve went through a few basics on photoshop elements and answered any questions, I did have some bits prepared for this evening but i have photoshop not elements so it was a little different from what steve was doing on elements but the basics are much the same so if anyone has any further questions or would like some of the tutorials that i prepared on my laptop please feel free to ask and i can burn you a C.D of relevant tuorials or either steve or I can answer any questions I am happy to answer any emails at bednuts@aol.com and steve at studmuffler@tiscali.co.uk

A lesson in Mounting photogragraphy

Sorry I havent updated our blog in a while.

Last monday we had a night of learning how to mount our photographs
I gave a talk and demonstration on how best to present your work for display purposes
after my demo everybody who attended had the chance to have a go using the supplied materials.
all were asked to bring a print with them which they would like to see behind mount. i think that it went quiet well and I hope that everyone came away that night with a little more knowledge of this particular subject.

although i did my demo using the old fashioned cutter and ruler way,
The club has now invested in their own more hi tec mount cutting machine which should take less time and effort, anyone in the club is welcome to use this whenever they want, it will be kept at Tonys, so if you want to mount your work and have a go at this please contact Tony on 07885163665 to arrange a convenient time.


Next Week Mon 30th November will be questions and anwers night
Steve has compiled a questionaire for all members to bring with them hopefully there will be a list of all the questions on photography and photo editing for a panel of the more knowledgeable members of the group to answer, This should be an interesting night, if you have any questions that you would like answered please do come along

Finally i am going to finish off this weeks entry with some photos sent in to my from Helen Armstrong, thanks helen I will add these to the website

WE NEED YOUR PICTURES AND STORIES !!!

We are currently Finalising our new 2009/2010 programme, as soon as it is complete I will publish on here and also on our website.

I have also updated or website with more pictures from our members, I would greatly appreciate more pictures from you all so I can update our website more frequently with all of our wonderful work, If you have any photos that you would like published please email them to me bednuts@aol.com make sure all files are clearly labeled with your name and photo title and any other details that you would like me to include. The more we keep up to date with our website the more intresting it will be, I feel that this is important and will help potential new members see what we do.
it would also be nice to maybe have a few stories on here about our photographic projects and expeditions journalistic style, have you been on holiday this summer ? or a taken a day out somewhere different or even somwehere local and taken your camera ? do you fancy writing a little bit about your experiences. if so it would be great to hear from you, just email me and I will blog it here.
