Next Season’s Competitions

I’ve added provision dates to the program of events list for next season’s PDI and Print competitions.  I’ve arbitrarily set the date as the 1st of the month, and will of course update the calendar  when the actual dates have been published.

Gallery Watermarking

All the 2018 galleries have now been reloaded with watermarked versions of images bearing both the image’s title and the author’s name.

Also the submission rules in PhotoEntry have been changed as per the Newsletter.  The watermark and strip metadata are now defaulted to Yes regardless of the actual option chosen at submission.  Only the Do Not Publish option is now honoured.

The PhotoEntry section of the club website has more detailed:

Very Important: You must clear you browser’s image cache to see the updated images.

CCC WhatsApp Group

Ant and Rudi had the superb idea of starting a club WhatsApp group.  Contact either Ant, George or Louise if you would like to get involved!  Group description below:

A knowledge pool for CCC members to share hints and tips,but also a place to ask for help or ideas with existing or up coming projects.

Maybe you need help finding a location?  Or struggling with colour management?  Maybe you need a steer with editing?  Or maybe you want a little bit of feedback on an image?

Perhaps you saw a really helpful video on YouTube and thought others might find it useful?  Well here’s the place the ask, share and get the help you need! ?

Winter Portrait Social Summary – 2nd February

Ant Highet led Louise, Beth, Stuart, Archie & George in a portrait session in Casiobury Park last Saturday with model Ria Fantastic. 

Even though I say so myself we were a dedicated bunch as it was absolutely freezing, with an arctic breeze blowing across the park’s open spaces.  However the cafe saw brisk business with us making frequent trips back inside to warm-up with a cuppa.

As usual the session finished off with an agreeable lunch in the Coach & Horses on The Green to review the day’s events. 

A huge thank-you to Ant for organising & planning the session.  Great fun despite the cold.
