This is an informal evening where we have a look at the images submitted by the teams which took part in our summer event - the St Ives Challenge.  The winning team is decided on a knock-out basis according to an audience vote.

On the same evening we will have some tables set up so that members can sell any photographic equipment they no longer need.  Please have a route through your gear and price anything you bring along, making sure your name is also on the label.

There will be help available for anyone wanting last-minute advice on the following week's competition.  We will be demonstrating re-sizing of images for Photoshop and Lightroom.  For anyone wanting to re-size and do basic edits without buying Photoshop and Lightroom, Debbie will demonstrate some free software for anyone interested.  This is an informal evening and a chance to ask questions, and chat generally.

In the first section of his talk, Nick discusses mining photography that he researched to inform him about his own approach to the project. He also explains what free mining is and how he published a book of his work (there should be a few copies still available to purchase at the talk). After the break he will go through a number of his images, how he shot them and the challenges he faced. He finishes by talking about postproduction and printing, showing physical examples from his F panel which the audience is also encouraged to look at throughout the evening.
