Print Appraisal – 19th Nov 2008

Our esteemed treasurer Tony Catt led a lively and interactive evening where comments, questions and suggestions were bounced around and about members’ prints brought in for discussion.

This is a very interesting, entertaining and enlightening format of meeting which we intend to continue in future seasons.

Thanks to all those who brought in work and those who contributed to the discussion, but special thanks to Tony for doing a great job of leading the commentary.

Portrait Practical Night 5th Nov 2008

Our very own Tony Scarf led a practical night concentrating on the basic theory and practice of portrait photography.

Tony introduced the fundementals of putting a subject at ease, posing, lighting and getting the best out of the model. Many members took the opportunity to put these ideas into practice on the evening.

Thanks are due to many: Tony for bringing his expertise and equipment. John McClellan for bringing and leading an additional studio setup. Les and others for helping with the setup and tear down of the sets. And, of course, bless’ed are the teamakers.

Special thanks go to the models for their patience and good humour. I hope that anyone who took pictures will bring prints to pass on the models as a thank-you.

Take Care All. /Graham
