Out and About with cameras. Theme: 'Movement'

To Silverdale with opportunities for photography at RSPB Leighton Moss, Jenny Browns Point (Morecambe Bay), butterflies, woods (including a butterfly reserve), dragonfly pond and a good range of nice walks. There are cafes at L. Moss and J.B. point. There is a small entry fee for the RSPB reserve.

Transport: Age UK minibus and as participants need to register, this will have to be done at the June 17th meeting, so any wishing to go should be at the meeting.

Timings: leave Settle 9am. pick ups on the A65 as required. Arrive approx. 10am. Leave at 5 pm home for 6pm

Cost: £10 per person .... a fixed fee is payable to Age UK so we need to fill the bus.

How to book places. Let John Lockwood know by e mailing names to qjlockwood@gmail.com (note the first letter is a q for queen and not a g for goat).First come first served.

A print competition using the mounts collected at the June meeting. If anyone was unable to collect a mount then mounts will be available from 7.15 on the evening, but you will need to bring along some masking tape to attach your A4 print to the backing board. The entries will be displayed and a simple form of voting will happen on the evening.

The entries for this years YPU exhibition will be shown and introduced by Dickon Siddall

The Gallery for August will be "Motion"....following the time we had capturing images during the June meeting, however any image satisfying the title will be acceptable and not just the images taken that evening.

Gallery....Motion, following on from the June meeting

Alan Owens will give a presentation on the uses and possibilities of Lightroom

The Gallery for October 7th meeting will be "Colour"  and  after the talk by Sue Deighton in May there will be lots of opportunities to  implement some of her advice. As usual there will be two Gallery options the first one giving chances for some critique, but if anyone only wishes for their images to be shown with no comment then Gallery 2 will be available.

Recently Alan Owens had an exhibition of prints in Bentham and he will present them to us.

.....followed by "an approach to lighting" by Dickon Siddall.

also a reminder that the gallery for next meeting will be "Colour"

Sam Dalby, who lives in Settle, is a talented portrait artist who is going to give some insights into his approach to creating a portrait in one half and a Gallery "Colour" in the other part.

Steve Finch will lead us in a practical session in studio portraiture with the opportunity to use his studio equipment

Elaine will present images that have been used as book illustrations  alongside a Gallery "a Portrait" using the title in its widest interpretation.

no introductions necessary here!!.... Carol and Tony come back again and show us some of their recent images from the last year.

Rod Smith is back to expose all the myths and the possibilities of using Layers in Photoshop....... and if you thought previous Galleries unusual then you have something to use your imagination. The Gallery entitled "Song" will allow access to any image so long as the title is that of a well known song.....Imagine that...sorry Mr Lennon!!!
