Tuesday 10th March 2009

Tuesday's meeting was informal to allow members to ask questions or seek advice on any aspect of the hobby. As usual the merits of equipment was raised, one member asking what the pros and cons were relative to image stabilizing lenses. A lively discussion ensued, most members who have these lenses extolling their virtue, whilst the old adage was repeated that the best image stabilizer was a sturdy tripod.

Neil Mackie showed a number of before and after images showing the improvements that can be made to photographs with some simple computer adjustments.

A number of images taken on a club outing to Rockcliffe in Dumfrieshire were also shown, including a short AV show by Dave Thompson.

A demo DVD introduced by Ber Wilson on AV work was also viewed and enjoyed by members.

Next Tuesday Neil Mackie will demonstrate some simple adjustments using Photoshop software. Members are invited to bring along any images they wish to display.
