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.
The political voting system may be undergoing a referendum next month but here at Reflex we already use the Alternative Vote to choose the winners for our Flickr Competition’s.
So if you want to influence the outcome go and take a look at the entries for “Book or Song Title” and vote for your top three.
If you didn’t manage to enter this time don’t worry you can still vote.
The winner gets to choose the theme for the next competition. So come on wipe the dust off your camera and join in. It’s a great way to get yourself into the habit of planning what your going to take pictures of and it’s fun to join in with club members who enjoy sharing their pictures on Flickr.
Did I forget to tell you that membership to Flickr is FREE! That’s right it costs you nothing to join and it’s really easy to use. Once you’ve signed up you can join the clubs Flickr Group and share your photo’s with other club members or the whole world.
Some interesting talks last night on Lightroom, personal workflow and F stops. We even learnt a new highly technical phrase to use when talking about the built in Light meter on our camera’s; The pointy slidey thing. I for one will be using it as often as possible.
Thanks to Rich Price, Dan Thomas and Kev Spiers for giving the talks. Also thank you to Arthur Belton and Ian Coombs for giving the picture mounting demo’s.
If you have something interesting to say on any aspect of photography or want to demonstrate a technique you like then get in touch. We’re always looking out for people to do this kind of thing on practical night’s. Or if you have something you would like to see explained or want to practice a technique. Let us know.
