Tuesday’s Workshop meeting
Hi all,
I hope you’ve all had a good week, particularly those members who visited Highgate Cemetery on Saturday. Thanks to Mark for organising.
This week we have our first workshop of the new season. Bill is bringing the studio lights and a couple of models. As it looks like it might be a clear night, we will also attempt some night photography, maybe some star shots and light painting. Lots to try out! Please bring cameras and tripods if you have them.
Remember it is also hand in night for the first competition. Mark will be available to collect your Round 1 PDI entries (bring them on a USB stick) and help you with your entry if you need it.
