Monday Mailing

Dear <<First Name>>,

Tomorrow we have a session entitled ‘How did I edit that image?’ A number of society members will show us techniques they use on a variety of software products.

Also, we hope to have a session entitled ‘How SHOULD I edit that image?’ Please bring a couple of images on a memory stick and we will present these to the ‘experts’ for suggestions on how to turn these into competition winners.

Presented tonight from 4 members will be the following:-

Stargazing – I plan to show how an “all black” sky shot can be recovered and worked to show a starry evening shot. Within the talk I will use mostly Lightroom with some cut & paste work in Photoshop.
I’ll look at an interior shot in very low natural light, look at cropping, dogding / burning, balancing light levels, bringing out details, colours and painting out unwanted parts. I wll be using a combination of Apple Photos, Pixelmator and Luminar.
I shall be showing how I produced Trent Power. I will start in Lightroom, then some editing using layers in Photoshop before going into SilverFX for the B&W conversion. Given time and interest I may also show other ways to convert into B&W.
I will demo two pieces of photo editing software.- “Photos” and “Photoscape”, both free software

Reminder: Print entries for Round 1 of the Annual Print Competition (Open) should be handed in tonight.

SImple Lighting – November 6th
A big ‘thank you’ to those who offered their expertise on making this a fascinating eveing at the two venues. We even had some Light Painting outside the church. Also, we are grateful to Pauline for organising the opening of the church and the availability of the church hall.

Distinctions Group
Rushcliffe Photographic Society is setting up a new distinctions group. This has happened in the past, but, if you are now aspiring to achieve Licentiate distinction with the Royal Photographic Society or, with PAGB, this is for you. There will be support from RPS members who have already gained LRPS or above. There is a Royal Photographic Society advisory day on 18 November at Whatton Jubilee Hall, observers are allowed to attend (see the Royal PS website for details, you have to book) and this might be a good start to get an idea of what is expected. These advisory days happen on a fairly regular basis so if you miss this one, another one will follow in due course. Once a group comes together we can plan future meetings (perhaps monthly) timed to suit the group and aiming for submission in 2021 or 2022, so no pressure!

TECHNICAL EVENING: HOW DID I EDIT THAT IMAGE?
A number of Society’s members will explain how they have edited images and will take us through their workflow process, taking us from the image recorded by the camera sensor to the finished image. There should be several different workflows using several different software packages – something for everyone – and plenty of opportunities to aske questions and to learn a few tips for your own workflows.

Reminder: Print entries for Round 1 of the Annual Print Competition (Open) should be handed in tonight.

Composition Day

The RPS committee is considering a Saturday workshop in March 2019 (possibly 23rd) which will look at aspects of composition. The idea of looking at composition from different points of view was raised at the most recent AGM and this workshop will be in response to that. The day would comprise a morning workshop working with a local artist looking, learning and drawing perspective, and in the afternoon a photographer speaker would take us ‘beyond composition’. Before the committee can make more detailed arrangements we need to get an idea of how many members would be interested in attending such a workshop. This is important as we would need to plan an appropriate venue and also work out costings. There will be a sign-up sheet as you arrive on Tuesday evening where you can add your name to indicate interest in attending. If you won’t be at the club on Tuesday please email your interest to Chris Keenan.

Advanced Notice

Saturday, 8th June 2019 Coach outing to Warwick.

We have booked at 37 seat coach following the agreement in the committee meeting. The cost will be between £13 and £16 per person depending on whether we have 30 or 37 persons. We tend to use an initial lower number for the cost and then return some if the coach fills. We also build in a tip for the driver rather than collect on the coach. If more than 37 want to come we can upgrade to a 49 seat coach. It is much easier to move up in coaches than move down because coach companies have fewer smaller coaches than larger ones.
Please email Howard Fisher if you are interested.
