Mon 3 Nov 2025 - Members Night "How would I process this image"
We had a version of this last season and as it was very popular with members it was decided to repeat it.
FINAL HAND IN OF ROUND 1 Mono and colour Print.
The main focus of the evening and the idea behind it is for members to upload, preferably a raw image or three of a photograph they have taken that they would like to improve , or maybe they have no idea of how to process it in the first instance .
The challenge then is that other members then choose one or two images from the communal bank and process them in a way they see fit.
Processed and raw...
