Club Projects
New members, especially those who are just starting out on the road to more serious photography, may be interested to learn about the club's monthly photography project which takes place on the club's website. This is strictly a members' only project, members of the public will not be able to view any images submitted to a project. It's also a "fun" project; it's not a competition and there are no prizes. Its purpose is to encourage members, especially Beginners, to submit images based on a theme which will change from month to month. And it's also meant to be a challenge for more advanced members to come up with something different. It doesn't matter about the quality of the image - although we hope over time that these will improve with experience. It's more about scanning your catalogue of images for something suitable or perhaps creating something specially to meet the theme. Submitting images is reallysimple. First, login to the Members page and click on My Images in the left hand menu. When the My Images page opens there are full instructions there on how to add an image to the website and how to submit it as an entry in a Club Project. The same process is used to submit images for Competitions and for Members' Galleries. Why not take a look now at some of the existing projects and view some really great images. Login to the Members page and click on Club Projects.

Members' Galleries
Why not share your experiences with the rest of the club and submit new, replacement or additional images for the Members’ Galleries? Members have full control of the images they want to include in their galleries. Just click on Members in the menu bar and, after logging in, choose My Images in the left menu list and follow the instructions. Nothing could be simpler! |

Ken Lindsay - "Travels & Making the most of your images""
A member of Eastwood PS for over 20 years and the Scottish Circle for 9 years, Ken has a wide range of photographic interest including phototravel, landscape, people and more recently wildlife. His first talk tonight is based on a 12-day holiday to Myanmar. Although partly a travelogue, the talk approaches the subject from the photographer’s viewpoint, in many instances showing how the raw image was acquired, and the processing involved to achieve the end result. In his second talk, Ken selects images including many that have gained awards in National and International competition. These range from ‘grab’ shots to images involving much planning. As with his previous talk he describes processing from the raw image to the final result. |

Studio Night 2
Monday is our second studio night of the season. We usually have two models. One of our studio photographers will show us how set up the lights etc, one in the Tack Room (that's the room on the right opposite the Caretaker's room) and one in the main hall. We'll try to organise a fair queuing system so all participants can take their shots. The length of time available with each model will depend on the number of members on the night. Please feel free to bring along any props and accessories, including any items that could be used for still life subjects for anyone who doesn't wish to take portraits. And don't forget to bring your camera(s)!! |

Hunter Kennedy - "Prints past and present Darkroom to Digital"
Hunter is a ‘well-kent’ face at LCC having given us the benefit of his experience at various presentations over the years. This evening his talk is on “Prints Past and Present, Darkroom to Digital”.
