Where Experience, Training & Opportunity Come Together – 2022 Grampian Eye Winners
Who is Colin Prior you may ask? He is a Scottish born photographer that is internationally recognised for his take on mainly panoramic landscapes for Scotland and from places around the world, he has been doing this for decades. He very rarely does talks and presentations so please come along and listen to what is going to be a very interesting talk.

Learning still life was the theme and members were given a tutorial on how to set up a still life and use lighting to create both high key and low key images.
Second session was a quick photoshop tutorial setting up triptych photos for next weeks Studio 8 submission plenty of time to enter your photo. The subject is family. Good luck!
Excellent talk from Brian Mercer about speed and action photography. Was wonderful listening to another perspective on capturing speed in a photo.
Congratulations to our development league and their stunning images. It’s always fabulous to see what captures a photographers eye!

Ever wondered what a triptych photo is? Tune in next week to find out.
Brilliant night looking through some of the entries into this years Grampian Eye and understanding how images are scored. Great to get other judges opinions to and see how point of view can differ person to person.
Remember to charge your camera battery and also a memory card and a lens suitable for portraits.
It was amazing to meet so many new faces and reconnect with familiar ones. There’s plenty of time to join if you haven’t already, we meet at the UHI Moray college on Tuesday evenings 7-9pm.
