Hi all
What a great start to the competition season on Tuesday. We had a lot of high quality work in both sections. It was also refreshing to see so many entries from our new members, many of whose entries were held back by the judge. I can see this club going from strength to strength in the future.
This week we have our first studio night of the year. We have two excellent models posing for us – including Sophie who was gave us some great images when she attended last year. Bring your camera. Even if you have never taken studio shots before, you will learn a lot from the night. You will all have had an email from Colin yesterday. We would appreciate a little help on the night – someone to organise an order of shooting rota for the night, and someone to attend to the models. There is not a lot to do in either of these roles – and you will still be able to take your own shots on the night.
Due to the amount of work involved in setting up for the studio night, there will be no early session this week.
There will also be a number of studio backgrounds displayed around the hall on Tuesday. These will be available to purchase for home studio use, at a fraction of the price that they cost online.
Finally, our established members will be aware that we normally have a display of members “mugshots” displayed on the board each week. This helps us all – it is an easy way to learn the names of new members and great them in person. For new members, it is a quick way to learn the names of everyone in the club. This is not compulsory and anyone can opt out. We would plan to continue using the images of established members which were taken in previous years – any member whose image has been taken in the past, can off course opt out if they so desire. Nigel Taylor will be on hand to take images on the night.
Well, that’s it for this week. I look forward to seeing you on Tuesday.
Best wishes
David
