We are moving!!

At Reflex we've got a lot to look forward to in the New Year. Not only have we got some fantastic meetings lined up with some great speakers & Practical nights but there's the move as well.

From

January the 5th

we will be meeting at

St. Anne's School Hall

It's just a few minutes walk down the road from the Langton so there's no excuse that we've moved too far.

If you get that new camera for Christmas and want to improve your photography then come along and see if we're the club for you. 

If your wondering why we're moving then there's a very simple reason. We outgrew the room! Over the last two years we have gone from 15 members to just under 60! It's been hard work but well worth it. Our members are some of the friendliest and helpful people you could hope to meet. They are Men & Women of all shapes, ages and from all walks of life. There are people that have only just picked up a camera to those that have been taking pictures for a very long time. Also we don't care what you use to take your pictures. It can be an old Kodak from the 70's or the most modern expensive digital camera on the market. We're not camera snobs.

After all it's not the Camera but the picture that counts.

Frogs, Snakes & Light Painting

We had a bit of a gap in our programme as our scheduled speaker had to cancel. Luckily for us club members Angi Nelson & Myk Garton offered to fill it for us. So instead of having to sit quietly and listen & look at someone else’s images we had a practical night.

Now practical nights can be a bit of a hit or miss affair. Sometimes we don’t get many people attending. Other times we get nearly every club member turn up. This Thursday was definitely one of  those times that nearly everyone turned up! Angi supplied us with various Frogs, Snakes & Reptiles plus a load of props & studio lights whilst Myk took charge of the Light Painting side of things.

After setting up the tables, props & animals Angi and her daughter with the aid of Richard Price gave those that wanted to stay inside and take images of the animals advice and help with the settings on their camera’s if they wanted or needed it.

Whilst all that was happening Myk Garton & Kevin Spiers took a group of members to the park across the road so they could create some Light Painting Images.

If your interested in seeing more images created on Thursday night then you can go to our Flickr Group where they are gradually being added by club members.
