Diary Dates

Next meeting is on the 3rd February 2026. Please meet at the bowls club for 7pm.

This weeks meeting will be an editing night following on from the judges comments of the last meeting. Steve will go through some photos and show us how to edit them and we can follow along at the same time.

Please bring your laptops/ editing software - if you don't have any, we can share.

Also, if you have any photos that would like Steve to show you how to edit, please bring them on a USB stick.

For example:
Dust spots - Steve will show us how to find them and remove them
Uneven horizon - there is a simple way to straighten this - Steve will show us how
Cropping - the judge mentioned that a few images would look better if they were cropped at the top/bottom - we can have a look at some examples, see how to do it and compare how this looks compared to the original
How to remove people/ distractions from the image - Steve will show us how to do this.

If you have anything else that the judge commented on, please mention it so Steve can show us, or bring your photo along so we can see.

Any questions please ask
