The evening started with a short introduction featuring examples of series of images that had a readily discernible connection between the images. We then viewed the set of images that had been submitted and which the membership had voted on prior to the Zoom meeting. Although the scores were closely grouped, the overall winning series of images was “Motorcycles” by Dave Garmont, taken during a visit to the Castle Combe race circuit.

“Food” was the set subject competition and a wide range of interpretations had been used. The overall winning image was “Summer Harvest” by Adam Kowalczyk.

The evening was rounded off by Jim Bullock who let us into the secret of his home studio location and explained how he had used a simple set up with card reflectors, a speedlight, a diffuser screen and cloth backdrop to achieve some very impressive images of glass containers, smarties in free fall and flying pasta, ably assisted by his well developed Photoshop skills. Hopefully our imaginations have been fired by the creativity that can be achieved with a basic home studio set up.
