Members Evening – March 18th 2025
Our third Members Evening of the season provided an opportunity for members to share ideas and information on a wide range of photographic topics of interest.
A short presentation was made on using neutral density filters and long exposures to create the desired artistic effects. Discussions widened to all types of filters that can be used and the pros and cons associated with their use.
Cheat sheets, or aide-memoirs as they might more politely be described, were shared covering a vast array of subject matter in an easily understandable and readily downloadable manner. We will look at the best ways to make this information easily available so members can pick and choose depending on their needs and projects being pursued.
Battle – March 4th 2025
We hosted our annual battle with Cricklade Camera Club which was judged by Sandie Cox, who is a member of Bristol Photographic Society.
Despite using many of the images that had secured victory for us in an earleir battle this year, we were soundly beaten by Cricklade, whose collections of images resonated more strongly with the judge than ours did on this occasion.
Congratulations to Cricklade Camera Club and we look forward to our next encounter in 2026.
Annual General Meeting – February 18th 2025
Our Annual General Meeting was well attended and the primary objective was to elect Club officers for the forthcoming year. It was refreshing to welcome some new Club members to the Committee and being involved in the runnng of the Club wil serve as useful background should they wish to take on more onerous roles at a future date.
Following the AGM, we were given an excellent presentation on how to compile audio-visuals using Canva and Suno software packages and a demonstration on what could be achieved. This will have sparked interest in experimenting with the techniques learned and hopefully we can share the fruits of our labours at a future meeting.
