July Zoom Workshop

Our next zoom workshop will be held on Wed 14th July at 7pm with login from 6.45pm. The topic is “Image Evaluation” This is a chance for everyone to evaluate 3 of their images and to view other images from members and evaluate and make comments using some techniques outlined in a handout document from Jen Fawkes who presented for us in June.

To be involved simply upload any 3 images into the members area for “July Zoom Workshop Image Evaluation” It is ready for upload now but will close next Tuesday at 11.55pm! While you are doing this select the blue button “download file” and download the word doc on image evaluation.

Login to the Zoom meeting on Wed 14th July and you will be placed into small groups of approx 5 or 6.  Roy Killen, Bill Chambers and Dennis Archibald have volunteered to be discussion leaders for each group. You will be able to view your own files and those of the other members in your group and  comment on and evaluate their images with guidance from your leader and the image evaluation doc.

This is an opportunity to get an idea of what judges may be looking for in your image and how others see your image. Hopefully a great learning opportunity for everyone!

Thanks GregC

July Raw Image Challenge

Thanks to all those who entered last months challenge. This months challenge is open to all members and will close on July 31st. Please download the image in RAW format from the website and then edit using your favourite software program. Try out some new filters or practice some new skills. Just a reminder that your edit should not involve adding new pixels ie your final edit should not be a composite image. Maybe next month, August, we might have an image where we can use sky replacement AI or add additional elements.

NOTE the June Raw Challenge is now available to all members to score. Please take a look and and give your vote for the winning entry. Simply score each image from 1 to 5 to have your vote count.
