This Friday, Peter Siviter EFIAP, DPAGB will judge the 1st Merit Print Competition.

On Friday 15 November we have the First Zoom talk of the season when Sarah Howard https://www.sarahhowardphotography.com will present “Capturing and Creating Atmosphere in Landscapes.” The talk will start at 7.30pm in the Club Room but visitors will be able to join via Eventbrite https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/capturing-creating-atmosphere-in-landscapes-with-sarah-howard-tickets-1045378163227 for £4.

Sarah says “My talk is about the capture and creation of mood and atmosphere in landscapes focusing mainly in what we can do “in camera.” So I’ll talk about weather conditions, light, using filters, planning etc. and the impact a photo has on our mood.”

Looks to be an interesting talk.

Finally, the last of this year’s firework displays will be in Donnington, Telford on Saturday 9 November starting with the first display at 7pm with a second one at 8.45pm. There is an onsite car park and entry costs £3 per person. If you don’t know the area, go to Aldi, Donnington TF2 8JS and the fireworks display is adjacent to the supermarket.

This Friday, 19 July, Calvin will lead a workshop about using layers in Photoshop. The workshop will be informal and interactive with demonstrations, explanations and discussions. You might find it useful to take a pen and notebook to jot down information to use later. 

Then on 26 July there will a second Photoshop on masks.

Both these workshops will be free to members and Tea and biscuits will be available to buy. This is your chance to get to grips with basic concepts of Photoshop and become a more proficient user. There are a number of tutorials on the club website https://wrekinartspc.com/useful-tutorials covering a wide range of photography topics that you may find useful.

The season will finish after the Photoshop Workshop on 26 July. The club room will be closed over the summer but there might be practical workshops arranged. I will send out information when available or you can keep an eye on the website.

The 2024/25 Season will open on Friday 20 September with an Open Evening and Exhibition of members prints.
