By Andrew Macpherson, on 21st January, 2012 David Steel has had to pull out from his keenly anticipated portraiture lecture, due to the death of his Mother-in-Law. We extend our sympathies to him and his family.
Instead, at very short notice, on Tuesday we will have a talk from Stefanie Reichelt on Scientific imaging, and the iPhone Hipsta Project, and she will be bringing some prints and photo-books along as additional illustration of her materiel.
It’s really great she can step in to help us out like this and I hope you will all come along so she knows it is worthwhile. I’m sure we’ll find it so.
By Andrew Macpherson, on 20th January, 2012 I’ve been a fan of the iPad App “Snapseed” almost from day 1.

On Tuesday we all found out how hard it is to judge photographs, even within the structure of a worksheet with judging classes to work from. Janet had carefully prepared sheets on which we could mark the entries in 3 categories

By Andrew Macpherson, on 5th December, 2011 Think Tank Photo who make rather good camera bags, are doing an advent accumulator with their “In a Bag” promotion.
It’s free to enter, so probably worth following the link and filling in the entry form to get a chance to win. I quite fancy the bag itself, but there are already a whole lot . . . → Read More: Free camera bag filled with goodies #TTPIAB

Well that was quite an evening! In the event Jo brought her show animals round, rather than stock from the shop. Jo’s beasties have been introduced to public events like this, so were not going to be freaked by a barrage of strobe lights and a mass of people.

By Andrew Macpherson, on 7th November, 2011 So when someone phones you up, saying they are a Microsoft Technician, or someone employed by Microsoft you can be sure it is a fraud attempt.
