Tonight saw one of our club members giving a presentation on his successful Society of Photographers Licentiate panel, Bill explained the process he went through to achieve his qualification and then showed his final panel to the group whilst also including all equipment used and an insight into each image.

After the break we had a quick guide around the features of our speysidephotographygroup.co.uk website to try and encourage members to use more of its features.

Club Night 05 Oct 21 – How to make digital borders in Photoshop & How to capture water droplets.

Another good attendance for club night. In the first half of the evening Lenny gave an in depth demonstration on how to create a digital mount in photoshop. After a small break and in preparation for the studio 8 competition, our very own Mr Thomas Thain gave a practical demonstration of how to freeze water droplets. A fantastic demo which gave some insightful knowledge to the club members. Hopefully see you all again next week.
