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.

SUBJECT: MOTION/MOVEMENT
Motion and movement in photography refers to capturing the sense of motion through techniques like freezing action or creating blur effects by manipulating shutter speed. Movement could even be implied by using multiple exposures of the subject in the one image.

Abstract photography creates images that are not directly representational of reality, focussing instead on shapes, colours, patterns, and textures to evoke emotion and provoke thought.
