FOLKESTONE CAMERA CLUB MEETING - 23rd September 2008

Report by Jenny Barraclough

The 2008/2009 season has started very well, with interesting evenings along with several new members joining us.

The fourth meeting of our new season, has followed on in good form with an informative Digital Tutorial. This was presented by Gavin Hoey. an expert on Photoshop, who writes articles and CD software for Digital Photo Magazine each month.

This was Gavin’s 3rd visit to our club and we are still learning from his tips and techniques on how to improve our digital images by manipulation and enhancements on the computer. We had a very full hall with both old and new members enjoying his wit and guidance through some aspects of Photoshop. We certainly hope he will come again. It was a great evening where we all went home maybe a little bewildered but ready to give it a try.

Our first projected image competition of the season will be held next week (29th) and on 6th October ROBERT CANIS ARPS will be presenting “THE FIELD TECHNIQUES OF NATURE PHOTOGRAPHY” A nature photographer of high regard returns to inspire us. This will be followed by the first Print Competition of the season on the 13th October.

If you are interested in Photography in any form, why not come along and join us. We have a varied programme over the season, which can be viewed on our website www.folkestonecameraclub.co.uk. Along with much more information about our club.
