Tuesday 30 Nov – Back to basics. Bring your Camera.

This Tuesday we will be having a back to basics night. Bring along your camera and any other equipment you may have, for a chance to ask the group for help, tips and advise for using

your equipment. There will also be the opportunity to ask questions about editing using photoshop. So have a think and come along with your questions and we will try are best to answer them for you.

This was a fantastic night where members were able to ask some interesting questions to the group. Willie gave a very insightful answer in relation to the regulations connected to the operation of Drones. He has promised to be a speaker in the New Year to give us some more information on all things Drones.
