This Week...
Depth of Field Workshop
|
|
Our theme this month will be exploring depth of field in photography. We'll be replicating the old masters with a still life image with everything in focus, and we'll be creating abstract images by reducing our depth of field.
Please bring some props for the still life - flowers, fruit, candlesticks, pottery, jugs etc. anything which would be suitable for an old master!
Don't forget to bring your cameras too!

Gordon's winning print is a fine example of using light painting in a darkened to create the look of a painting with everything in focus.

A big THANK YOU to everyone who braved the arctic conditions to take part in our portrait social this weekend.
Our members and model Ria braved the cold in Cassiobury Park to capture some stunning images.
As you can see from the behind-the-scenes shots, freezing cold water means nothing to us in the pursuit of a great image!

14th February
Photography Unplugged
To raise funds for an upcoming school photography trip, Beth Christie and two of her fellow GCSE Photography students will critique our "unplugged" images for a small donation.
Images should have a minimum of manipulation, replicating what you could achieve "in-camera" or in a traditional darkroom. Cropping and changes in exposure using Lightroom or Photoshop are allowed, but healing or cloning, adding additional content layers, textures or filters is not allowed.
Members will be able to upload two images via Photo Entry for £2 per image. Fees should be given to our Treasurer on the night of the critique.

The results for the PAGB GB Club have been published.
Croxley scored 96 points overall, putting us a disappointing joint 45th. However, we scored 4 more points than our rivals at Park Street and 6 more points than our friends Niton & District on the Isle of Wight, so it wasn't all bad!
Top scorer for Croxley was Jim Forder's "Trapped in a Lift" which scored a very respectable 12 points.
