We have a smartphone practical session, a chance to play with the cameras in your pocket and learn just what they are capable of.

We have a couple of things coming up that will be worth planning for:

This was the first time H2 have tried a DPI Panel competition. They have previously been prints at face-to-face meetings. However, going by the number of panels entered, their quality and the judge's positive comments, it may well feature in a future season's programme.

It was capably judged by Linda Woodward, an EAF judge, member of St Neots CC in Cambridgeshire and creative photographer (see her website link below). Linda has judged many panels in her time and that expertise showed in her helpful and positive critique of not only the panels but also the separate images that formed the panels. 

I think all members, those that had entered panels and those that hadn't, learnt something. We show some of the winning images and the results in this week's Newsletter. Congratulations to those winners and well done to all who entered.

Do You Use Affinity Photo?

The H2 Affinity Photo group are now holding their Zoom workshops once a month and their next meeting is this Monday (25 April) evening at 7pm. Any H2 member is welcome to join to learn more about this powerful "stand-alone" photo-manipulation software.

At Monday's workshop we'll be looking at making PDI panels using its comprehensive selecting and embedded functions. If you would like further information please email Paul or see Malcolm's recent post on the H2 Photograhy WhatsApp group.
