    Speaker – Sue Clark
    Image manipulation, now often colloquially called “photoshopping” is nothing new and not restricted to digital images, it has been done since “imaging” was invented.
    The camera may not “lie” – but the photographer can “alter the truth”.

    3 on one side of the room & 3 on the other, so two panels of experts. 
     
    2. Members bring in 2 images by way of DPI or print that they would like critique/feedback on. They choose one of their images to present to 3 x experts & their second image to the other 3 x experts. 
     
    3. Members are rotated to meet ‘expert’ sat at each table for 3 minutes. At end of each interval a bell or whistle is given to alert member to move onto the next ‘expert’.

    Preloved Gear
    Buy or sell pre-loved camera gear.  Bring along any items you no longer use, from cameras and lenses to bags, straps and accessories.  Label each item with a price and your name.
    There will be plenty of opportunity to browse the items on sale and to chat to the owners about the kit.  This is a great chance to learn about the pre-loved items on sale before making the decision to purchase, and to streamline your kit by selling items which are taking up cupboard space at home!
