Meeting: Thursday 9 March 2017

Next meeting we will be deciding which images will represent the club at the Tribattle event to be held in Trowbridge on April 6.  Four images in each of ten subject categories have been voted for by members using their home computer screens.  These will be projected on to the larger club screen for a second round of voting to decide which two in each category will go forward to the 'battle' with Trowbridge and Corsham photography clubs.  

Our last meeting took place on the evening of Storm Doris so a smaller crowd than normal enjoyed the practical challenge of Portrait Photography.  Pete Shaw and Philip Male kindly brought in a whole range of equipment - flash and stands, umbrellas, reflectors, backdrops, widgets! - to aid those not so familiar with this type of photography.  There was a good deal of exchange of creative ideas, plenty of advice and regular changes of 'willing' models!!
