Following on
from our successful Digital Practical Evenings first
held during 2006, Ivybridge & District Camera Club
will be holding another series of Practical Evenings
through this year. Except for outside events, these
will be held at the Community Hall, Jubilee terrace,
Bittaford.
Sessions will
cover a range of practical issues from beginner to expert
and will cover such subjects as taking photographs,
composition, camera controls, mounting photographs for
competitions, computer storage of digital images and
processing those images on the computer. There will
be a bias towards digital photography but many film-based
issues will also be covered. The software used will
mostly be Photoshop Elements, with occasional forays
into Photoshop CS2.
We will continue
the idea of splitting the meeting up into two sessions,
usually with differing themes. Visitors and occasional
visiting members should appreciate some of these sessions
will be held at an advanced level.
As well as providing
an opportunity for learning about photography, these
meetings provide a forum for discussion - both as a
group and individually - that is not so easily found
on our busy regular club evenings. We intend to leave
sufficient time for these activities in the schedule.
The practical
evenings will be held about once per month and will
be open to visitors and club members alike. The meetings
will normally be held on Tuesday evenings, slotting
in with our regular club meetings.
