Guest Presenter : Bert Hovelling

Alan Synnott chaired the meeting and welcomed Bert and his friend Margaret.

Capture an Idea photos “ Empty” were judged first by the members and then Open Judged by Bert.

Homework was viewed. It was encouraging to see so many entrants. Alan Cole stated that in view of the quality of the submissions, he doubted that he could add anything through his talk in October on “Flowers”.

To obtain best reproduction of submissions, it is important that photos are sent as an attachment to an email, NOT embedded in the email itself.

Bert gave a short PowerPoint on Layers, followed by 2 audio visual instruction presentations extracted from photographic magazines. This complete presentation has been copied to the club’s computer and can be made available to members.

Homework will be based on using our new skills and will be circulated soon.

Capture an Idea for next month –WHITE

There will be committee meetings for the Show and general club coming up soon, probably evening in the RSl. Dates to be advised.

Meteor Shower Photography. Any Interest?

Hi YCC Members

Found this article in my mail today so thought that someone else in the club might be interested. It would be a 01:00 to 05:00  time slot it appears for the best images, but I would be game if I can get company. Maybe the December event rather than the October one... Too cold!!

Read the article here Meteor Shower and let me know.

Homework – 4 photos

1 An insect

2 A full close up of a flower

3 A macro flower 

4 An original take on a flower photo.

Please send them to Alan Cole by 7.00pm Sunday (tomorrow). By brutal experience, I suggest you reduce the size of your individual photos to 1MB. I know that previously I said send them full size,but that didn't work for me!

Capture an Idea photograph – EMPTY – to be presented at the meeting.

I hope someone has taken some autumn colours – it’s past its best now.

Happy Mothers Day to the mothers out there.
