Something new.

 

The more eagle eyed amongst you may have noticed a very slight change in the way the Blog looks. But for those of you that haven’t, look over on the left. Yep that’s it. Above the Facebook box there now resides a list of the pages that are available to you on the blog. Pages? They aren’t anything special but they allow us to put information or articles on them that will just sit there permanently for you to look at whenever you want to. And as today’s Easter I thought I would give you all a nice present and unveil a new page just for you.

It’s the third one down.

Yep that’s the one it’s called “Photography on the Web”. Simple title for what is a page of links to various photography resources on the web. I hope you all find it useful and if you think of anymore that you would like to see added to the list then just let me know.

My pictures shrunk in the wash!

If your on the clubs mailing list you already know that we have a couple of PDF's doing the rounds on how to resize your pictures so they can be entered into the club competitions. I'm basically just going to bore the pants off you now by repeating myself. We've got, not one, not two but THREE! (see surprised you there didn't I) tutorials on the website dealing with resizing your pictures. Two of them you already know about, the one's for Lightroom and Photoshop. The third was created by our very own Steve Hallam (there now he gets the blame if any of it is wrong) and shares the arcane art of resizing in Paint.net. If you've never heard of it then you should check it out. It's totally free and very good. The have a great community on their forums with lots of people regularly posting help and advice to anyone using the software. If you need a good piece of editing software for your photo's the best free option, if your using a windows pc, is probably going to be Paint.net.

To find the tutorials on resizing visit our website and goto the links page. Find the Reflex member downloads part and all of them are listed there. At the moment you only have those three tutorials and the competition rules available but we are planning on adding more soon. So if you want to know how to do something in Photo Editing Software or what settings you should be using to take a particular shot. Basically anything photo related. Get in touch!
