Don't gasp - don't cry! We held our second event on Saturday 12 September 2009, at the Museum of Military History.
We welcomed Spring back to our land with a special event:
- Our special "One-shot" competition was held (see results lower down) - The Museum has plenty of different items to challenge our creative minds..... Everyone who attended had the opportunity to take ONE shot, and only ONE at the event. These were downloaded, and evaluated for the best image of the day.
- A special two hour course was presented by Robbie Aspeling, and is a really worthwhile investment!
Processing your digital images for print and web display - Those who attended were able to get their hands on the newly released Sony Alpha bodies - The A500 and the A850 were there to play with, as well as some of the more interesting Sony lenses. We all enjoyed playing with those!
- We also arranged for a Sony technician to be available to do a minor service to your digital camera! He cleaned lots of sensors and check for minor problems before we got started with the lecture. Thank you Andrezj for sorting out so many dirty sensors! We really do appreciate your coming out and helping us!
- Since we were discussing post processing, the Big Chief arranged for the installation disks for Adobe CS4 Design Premium for everyone who attended. Whilst this is only the demo on the disks, it does allow you to try it out and see what it can do. Those who wish to purchase the full version can simply do this from the software, directly online with Adobe.
The ONE SHOT Competition
The ONE SHOT competition got everyone really thinking. The creative juices ran wild, and we had some very interesting interpretations... The winning entry to this competition was:

Thank you all for participating..... We all learned plenty about photography, and from each other! There is so much to learn!
