Photogroup August Meeting

Posted on by

The Group met at 10:15 a.m. on 12th August with the theme ‘Old/Modern Architecture’.

Only 4 people attended as Rosemary Crumplin and John Clark were on holiday. With such a small (and even) number, it was surprising that a unanimous vote for best picture was given to John Hawke’s ‘Derelict Hut in Whitchurch’.

 

September’s Theme is ‘Summer Events’.

Anjie Sargeant advised Pam Liberson regarding problems with using the Microsoft Photo App as well as differences between Windows 10 and 11 for using it. She also showed how to use the app on an Android mobile telephone.
