Lecture by Trevor Youe

On the 7th October our friend (and oft-times judge) Trevor Youe presented some of his own impressive images keeping everyone interested for the whole evening.

He demonstrated a variety of approaches to traditional genres such as portraiture highlighting that we should always try to bring a fresh look to our work.

Whilst not a Photoshop tutorial Trevor gave a very instructive insight into how some of his powerful composite images were conceived and contructed.

Many thanks Trevor for a great evening.

2009/10 Programme Published

I have posted the programme for the coming season. Please have a look to see what is in store for next season.

NB_1: As announced at the AGM, submissions for Digital Projected images must now be provided as sRGB (rather than Adobe 1998). The good news is that if you don’t know what that means then you probably don’t need to worry about it!

NB_2: I will add briefings for the set subjects shortly. Please do make an effort to submit entires to the set subject competitions. UPDATE Set Subject requirements have been posted.

NB_3: Have a great summer recess.

Best Regards
Graham (Robinson, out going Prog Sec)
