A tutorial evening for members to bring their cameras and practice taking still life photographs from table top set ups was held.

Subjects included a model tank and a Meerkat. Chairman, Mark Walker, followed on from last week's portrait competition with a portrait tutorial which proved very popular as a lot of members listened, learned and photographed the model. Our thanks go to the lovely Debbie for sitting for us and especially for her patience!

We had a pleasant social evening with more experienced members sharing their knowledge, helping others with questions about their cameras, Photoshop techniques and using gels for both flash photography and when taking black and white images.

Next meetings: Wednesday, February 19, there is no meeting on Thursday, February 20as we are visiting Carnkie Camera Club for a critique evening, where each club will show a selection of images for comment.
