An on line members’ evening via Zoom.

Marie is hosting an evening of presentations by various members.

This meeting is about the thousands of photographic images that have surrounded us for over 100 years. We see them daily in all forms of media; in books, newspapers, magazines, billboards, computers, televisions and mobile phones. Photographic images even have their own special galleries that explore current photographers and historical works.

We would like you to choose a photograph from anywhere that has touched you in some way. It may have influenced the way you have produced some of your work or your thinking about a particular project. It would great if you could say a few words about the work, where you saw it, why you liked it and how it made you feel. It would also be great if you could say a few words about the image. If you do not fancy speaking you can write me some notes and I will chat on your behalf. I am looking forward to sharing your inspirational works. Send your inspirational images to the email address below.

Have you ever wondered what that prize winning image looked like before editing and what editing was done, this evening will reveal all!

Before

After

Several members have volunteered to talk about the process from capturing the image to presenting a finished image. They will show step by step what goes on.

This should be a fun and informative session.

Our Before and After evening is going to look at different types of photo-editing software. Some members will discuss how they have transformed an image using various software into a final masterpiece. They will show you step by step ways of bringing the best out of your own work.

If you are interested in participating, please contact me: Email….. memeve@frodsham.photos

See what the rest of the L&CPU have been up to.

This hour will be a “members evening” but the details are not available yet.

Many photographers are interested in and informed by artists working in different mediums.

For this informal competition, members’ will be invited to enter images taken in the style of an artist they admire.

Liz has arranged for the images to be judged by a non photographic artist so this will be a real change from our usual format!

More details on entering your images will be posted nearer the time.

After the break there will be a presentation by Ian and members of his critique group titled ‘What we did during Lockdown’.

This evening we are going to look on the F.D.P.S. web pages and explore some of the fantastic work members have produced over the years.

We would like you to look through and choose three of your favourite images from different members. These of course cannot be your own. To access the work, you need to find the file on the website with all the images in it. Look through them all and send the three you like the best to me. You can send their numbers, names tor location if that is easier. I will gather your choices together and we can discuss why those images stand out from the crowd. The authors can say a few words about their work too. Just contact me if you need any more information.

Early in the season, members were allocated a random project subject to develop in whatever way they wished.

This evening will be dedicated to showing the results, which could be prints, a slideshow, a book or whatever format the member chose.

This is our annual feedback meeting where we present a review of the season so far and forward plans. It’s a chance to ask questions and help the committee drive the society forward.

With the major changes forced on us by the virus, this year’s meeting will be a vital part in our future planning so please make very effort to support your Society.

For the second apart of the evening we shall be reviewing the images sent to us by our Belgian friends LichtVast photo. Part 2 covering our images to them will take place on the 29th March.

The first part of tonight’s’ meeting will be presented by Andrew Williams LRPS. The topic will be Lightroom and I shall be requesting topics from members in the weeks before the event. If you have any burning questions about any aspect of using Lightroom please email them to andrew@inspiringimages.co.uk with ‘LR Questions’ as the title and I will try to cover as many of your questions as possible.
