It's a Smartphone Critique...
 
So this week it's a Smartphone critique evening - we have had speakers & practicals on the cameras in your pocket over the last few months, so now it is time to seewhat we can do with them.

It is estimated that the overall number of images taken in 2021 is 1.2 trillion. Now that is a lot of images. And the majority will have been created on a smartphone. Goodness only knows how many will be taken in 2022 but hopefully not all are pictures of peoples electricity meters!

Email your smartphone images by Wednesday (15th) to dpi@h2photo.org.uk with the subject Phone.

People in the Landscape...
 
Last Thursday (9th) we had an excellent presentation by Nigel Forster. His talk was on Zoom and entitled "People in the Landscape and Outdoor Activities". 

It was an interesting tutorial on a subject we don't see covered very often falling as it does between Landscapes and portraits.  There was plenty of tips in the talk and Nigel has generously provided the notes in pdf format that you can download here.

H2 Came Third Out Of Sixty

Last Monday, H2 had an external competition against three other local clubs: Walthamstow, Barking & Chingford. Called the "1 in 60", each club entered 15 images which were randomly presented and independently judged.

This year's judge was Terry Hewitt, and it was his job to find the best image from the sixty (although he was allowed to give a second and third, too). 

Happily, H2 secured the third place with The Morning After by Warren (Martin). The judge commented the image engendered an emotional response. We show his image below; well done, Warren.

So often it is the emotive quality of an image; that which touches us and stirs our feelings, that takes an image to the exceptional.

Congratulations to the winners (also shown below):
1st - Honey Bee On Roots by Walthamstow;
2nd - Have You Seen My Nuts by Chingford
The Zoom invitation for all our meetings is below.

All are welcome to come along; members & non-members alike.
