Welcome to members and friends of

Curves by Warren Martin
This week it's Surrealism

This week on Zoom (details below) we have a presentation by John Bermingham AIPF.  John is a visual artist in the South East working in photography, digital media and compositing, music videos, aerial footage, and animated shorts.

Check out Johns's Website for a view of how attractive and exciting his work is.

Got a Pet?
29th September we have a pet photography evening planned, If you have a pet that you could bring along for everyone to photograph.  It could be a Dog, Cat, goldfish, reptile, hamster, tiger..whatever.  If you can help us out please mail newsletter@hcphoto.org.uk

Membership payments
It is also time to renew your membership in the club and the details for this are in the panel below.  Membership entitles you to enter all our competitions and allows you access to our Flickr & Whatsapp groups and pays for speakers,judges and equipment.

The price has been frozen for the last 3 years so it is probably the only thing that isn't affected by inflation this year!

Last Thursday...

..we met in The Green Room for the first time ever and very nice it was too. It was great to see so many back at the club and to welcome 3 new members: Ken, Diane & Jill

The evening started with a presentation of the best of last year. If you missed it, you can view it on YouTube here. A few people asked about the accompanying music (which quite frankly was nowhere near annoying enough) so the artists & songs are listed below:
 
Song Artist
Intro The XX
Hùg Air a' Bhonaid Mhòir Julie Fowlis
Your Song Ellie Goulding
Dirty Paws Of Monsters And Men
A Song for the drunk & Broken Hearted Passenger
Little Talks Of Monsters And Men
Sword From The Stone Passenger
Wrong Direction Passenger


Then it was on to the tea break and a chance for a natter followed by a fun review of the Summer challenge images and a chance to try out the new projection software.  It seems like a profile issue but I am sure Jeff will have it sorted for the next time we are in the hall projecting stuff.

H2 Flickr Page: Keep 'Em Coming

Wow, we have over 3.2k images on our H2 Flickr page now. And each week members continue to upload their finest work for us to enjoy.

Flickr is a brilliant platform: it give us an insight into how and when the image was taken; what the photograph's 'vital statistics' are - shutter speed, f/stop and ISO - and the author can write information about their image.

Having a members-only page is also useful for our members to show us their work and gain positive comments and critique on them should they wish. Many are shown in this Newsletter week-on-week.

And members also have the added opportunity for the best-of-the-best to be exhibited in SHOWCASE; our Flickr page that is open for the world to view and enjoy.

We would encourage all members to upload their best work regularly.

                       Keep 'em coming, guys

(If any member requires assistance to use Flickr, please contact our committee by emailing mail@h2photo.org or just click here)
