Club Night
June 15, 2008
On Wednesday 4th June 2008, a “Circuit Training” night took place which consisted of various members of the club demonstrating different techniques. These were mini-lectures where five or six members could visit each table for about 15 minutes to find out about techniques such as lighting, cropping negatives and using tones while developing, among others.
The night was a great success with positive feedback from many members. It would be fair to say that most members came away having learnt at least one thing which was the object of the evening. It allowed people to ask questions and get hands-on with techniques that they might not have normally used. The club hopes to have more of these evenings in the future.
Many thanks to the people who took part and shared their expertise.
