Photography Group October Meeting

The Group met at 10:15 a.m. on 14th October with the theme ‘Autumn Colour’.

Only 4 people attended, Rosemary Crumplin sent her apologies for not attending.

With such a small number, a unanimous vote for best picture was given to Pam Liberson’s ‘Chestnuts’ – the subject was enhanced with Fallen leaves from her garden.

November’s Theme is ‘Creature Feature’.

Anjie Sargeant showed her photographs from her recent holiday in Croatia.

Some camera issues were discussed including a problem with Mike Liberson’s Panasonic FZ1000 Mk II. This was resolved in 2 ways:

  1. Using the LVF (Fn 8) button to manually switch between eyepiece and screen.
  2. Automatic switching between viewfinder and monitor:The eye sensor automatically switches the display to viewfinder when your eye or an object moves close to the viewfinder. When the eye or object moves away from the viewfinder, the camera returns to monitor display.

The Group met at 10:15 a.m. on 9th September with the theme ‘Summer Events’.

Only 5 people attended John Clark being absent. Rosemary Crumplin was welcomed back from her recent cruise around the British Isles and the Azores.

With such a small number, it was surprising that a unanimous vote for best picture was given to Anjie Sargeant’s ‘Andover Carnival’.

 

September’s Theme is ‘Autumn Colour’.

John Hawke stated that this theme should not restrict itself to foliage changes but the use of the ‘golden hours at sunrise and sunset of any subject.

Anjie Sargeant showed her photograph album from her recent holiday based at Lake Como with many stunning pictures.

 

Some camera issues were discussed including the use of menu settings for digital  zoom and minimising noise when using it.

Photogroup August Meeting

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.
