After a belated AGM last year, we return to our traditional timing this year for this important meeting. The AGM will be followed by a review of the "Night Scenes" and "My Month - March" galleries.

Open gallery for anything from your activities or thoughts during April. Location Suggestion: Wildlife.

A chance to learn some new post-production skills in this practical demonstration of Photoshop and Lightroom techniques.  We will also review members' images from the "Symmetry" and "My Month - April" galleries.

Open gallery for anything from your activities or thoughts during May. Location Suggestion: Rock.

This month we have the first in a series of galleries focusing on various aspects of composition - "Thirds"

Final date for submission of image choices, titles and sizes. Although we encourage members to purchase their own frames, a limited number of SPG frames are available on request. Further details will be communicated to members in due course.

David Boag will entertain and educate us on the theme of wildlife photography, and hopefully inspire more of us to try this challenging genre. David's website is at http://naturalfocus.co.uk There will be no gallery review this evening.

Open gallery for anything from your activities or thoughts during June. Location Suggestion: "Man-made".

The second of our composition-themed galleries.

In the first meeting of its type, members will have the opportunity to put forward questions about any aspect of photography in advance, and hopefully some one will be able to provide the answer during the meeting. Full details of how this will be organised will be communicated nearer the time.  We will also review the galleries "Thirds", "Lines" and "My Month - May".

Open gallery for anything from your activities or thoughts during July. Location Suggestion: Not man-made.

Prior to our exhibition, the framed photographs are displayed in shop windows around Settle. Help in distributing these is always very welcome.

Another gallery with a compositional theme - this time the subject is "Shapes".

This month's meeting will be a recorded presentation from the PAGB. However, should we be unable to hold our traditional Annual Exhibition due to Covid restrictions, we will use this meeting for a Virtual Opening and Viewing of the exhibition. We will also review the galleries "Shapes", "My Month - June" and "My Month - July".

Please volunteer to help collect our wonderful photographs from the shops in Settle where they have been on public display.

Again, we will be looking for volunteers to help set up the exhibition, including building the display stands and hanging the framed prints.

After all the hard work of producing, printing and framing our images, and setting up the display, this is a chance to enjoy a relaxed evening together admiring all of our members prints.

After a pause in 2020, we are once again planning to hold our Annual Exhibition showcasing the skills and artistry of our members to the public. The exhibition will be open to the public on Saturday, Sunday and Monday over the Bank Holiday weekend from 10:00 to 17:00 each day. We look forward to welcoming you all. (Should Covid restrictions make a physical exhibition impossible, we will revert to the virtual format introduced last year.)

Once the final visitors have viewed the exhibition, one last task remains - taking down the prints and returning the display stands to storage. Again, the more helpers the merrier.

Open gallery for anything from your activities or thoughts during August. Location Suggestion: High Summer.

Have you spotted the pattern yet? This month's composition theme for the gallery is "Patterns".

Members will have the opportunity to process a selected set of images provided ahead of the meeting. At the meeting we will compare and discuss the various post-production treatments. We will also review the "Patterns" and "My Month - August" galleries. Whilst we sincerely hope that we will finally be able to meet up together for the first time in 18 months, the meeting will of course be held online if necessary.

Hopefully we will be able to reinstate our monthly outings this month. More details will be provided nearer the time.

Another compositionally themed gallery for you to interpret.
