The H2 Newsletter

Phew what a Scorcher!!

Thursday night was apparently the hottest on record and few who were at H2 would disagree with that, even the rain seemed warm!

It was quite a strange experience turning up to a hall with no one in it, but groups of people would turn up and then go out shooting. I got the impression that the turn out was quite low, only seeing a few people, but when everyone came back to the hall it was quite a surprise to see that we nearly had a full turnout of members as they came back for tea!

Thanks to those who helped with the teas & coffees. Good to see people willingly helping with this task, rather than letting it always fall on the same shoulders.

Next week will be more of the same: a chance for you to get out and be creative, learn new skills and chat to friends old and new. if you are shooting outside it is well worth getting to Much Hadham early for the best light. We will also have some laptops available to talk you through how to upload pics for the exhibition or help anyone who wants help getting the best out of their exhibition images in editing software.

. As ever:

Don't forget your camera!

Social Media - Flickr

The new H2 Flickr group has been created with Jeff and Paul Major kindly offering to administer it. Members should have been sent an invite via an email, if you haven't received one, please email them for access.

The intention is to use the flickr group as a way to collate all the entries for the Much Hadham Timestamp exhibition.
