Wed 1 Oct 2025 - Club speaker Steve Wilcox 'Mindful Post Production' - Rugby club

7:30pm

I’ve assessed over 1000 images submitted to camera club competitions in the last two years, and found a number of recurring themes. This evening addresses these themes and aims to help the average camera club member get more out of their photography by developing the quality of their Post-Production. This is not a dry evening watching sliders being moved, instead I will lead a discussion on the WHAT and WHY of Post-Production not the HOW. We will focus through worked examples on the techniques we have to help viewers see more clearly what we wanted to say in our images.

Wed 8 Oct 2025 - Elizabeth Jane Lazenby 'Finding Your Own Story' - Zoom talk

7:30pm

So many people say that they wish they had ideas, stories to illustrate and were creative. This presentation guides you to examine your own experiences and preferences to draw on in creating unique images..... The second half demonstrates a number of editing techniques such as textures, overlays, colour grading and composites, opening that door to creative expression and image creation. I work on the same image in 3 different ways to show how to create emotion and narrative within your work.

Wed 1 Apr 2026 - David Boag 'Photographing Wildflowers' - Zoom talk

7:30pm

'Inherently beautiful, flowers are designed to attract attention. Therefore many photographers seem content to use the flowers natural appeal but fail to put any of their own creative imagination into their images. Every trick in the book, every lens in your bag and every photographic technique can be used to set your flower images apart and add to their interest.'
