Nicky will give a presentation on Camera Set up.  She will talk about camera settings and advance preparation that can help to maximise the chance of achieving the shots you would like.  She will discuss customised mode programming, customising buttons and will discuss her own particular choices of settings for different scenarios.  Although her genre of photography is primarily wildlife, this talk applies to all genres.  Preparation is key, whatever you are shooting!

For the second half of the evening, we will have an open discussion on camera settings for different scenarios, and tips from other members.  Please have a think about this in advance and contribute to the discussion if you can.   In the final part of the evening Jonathan will also help us to get to grips with photo sizing and pixel count - a subject which is often not well understood.

We will be looking at the images taken by our members for the Millennium.  It will be interesting to see how much change there has been in the last 26 years!

We will also be introducing the Edit Challenge.  Members will be given an image, which we will all go away and edit it with our own ideas.  We will look at  the results on 10th November.   To help with this, on 15th September there will be a post processing night - stations around the room will help with Photoshop, Lightroom and BeFunky editing - and possibly Affinity (tuition will depend on the specific expertise of members who are willing to share their knowledge).
