TO AFFINITY AND BEYOND

A viable substitute for PhotoShop?

By Paul Harrison

 

Paul has always had an interest in photography. His main areas of interest are astrophotography, macro (especially Peacock Spiders) and landscapes. We have asked him to talk about Affinity for post processing. He willl use examples from both his astrophotography and macro photography to show how he uses the software to get the most from his images.

GALLERY NIGHT: Appreciating Darkroom and Digital Prints

 

Members displaying prints need to be at the club by 7.15pm

 

 

Come and appreciate what our members regard as their best prints.

 

The theme is, there is no theme, just up to three of your favourite prints. This is designed to get people talking and giving constructive feedback. It isn’t a competition just a way to show your work and what you have been doing recently.

 

No limit on size shape or style, prints do not need to be mounted, no requirement for digital submission, alternate print methods are acceptable and  no judging. Each print needs to have a short blurb including title, photographer, camera and lens etc, digital tools or darkroom techniques, paper stock and one to two sentences explaining the print.

 

As members arrive, they will be given 3 tokens to place nest to a print based upon “Why I like this print”.

SUBJECT: DRAMATIC LIGHT

 

Dramatic lighting in photography uses strong contrasts between light and shadow to create mood and emotion, often by using a single, focused light source to cast hard shadows or by using low-key lighting to create a majority of dark areas.

SLIDE NIGHT

Organised by the Darkroom SIG 

 


 

Everyone is welcome to come and see some slides - some are old and some are new.  Bring along your slides if you wish to share them with your friends and other members. The more slides the better.  

 

This is always an enjoyable evening looking at a range of slide images on the big screen.
