Workshop – “Introduction to basic image editing”

The club will be running a hands on workshop on “Basic Image Editing” at VBC upstairs in the board room, on Wednesday 17th April at 10am

The workshop will be looking at a beginners introduction to Lightroom Classic however many editing techniques will also apply to other editing programs.

You will need to supply your own laptop or you can look on with others. If you are having any issues, now is the time to ask those basic questions re editing your images.

Session starts at 10am to midday, followed by lunch, then a final session ending at 2pm

This workshop is open to all members. Those attending will need to register via email, so I have an idea of numbers.

Any questions please contact Greg Carruthers

April Print Night

Just a quick reminder that  our April Print Night will be held next Wednesday, 10th April at 7.30pm at the Valentine Bowling Club function room. What this means of course is that you don’t have much time to enter the April digital and print competitions! The colour prints will be judged by Bev Woodman and the mono and small prints by myself.

Final reminders will be automatically generated from our website shortly but please, if you have not yet uploaded your entries do so soon. To date there are not many print entries so please use the remaining days to get your entries uploaded. The more entries we have the more interesting the print night will be.
