    A look at the best of the summer and the up-coming programme, including the Buddy Scheme and Edit Challenge. Followed by SIPC Millennium Print Photo Show by Gary

    8:00 pmSt Ives Free Church

    The first half of the meeting is full of information!  We will start by seeing your best image from the summer events - members can email their image to the programme secretary.  We will then be looking at the upcoming programme to see what is on offer over the season.  As part of that we will introduce the Buddy Scheme and also a new Edit challenge (see links below). For this, 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 the Edit Challenge and Buddy Scheme, 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 available will depend on the specific expertise of members who are willing to share their knowledge)..

    In the second half of the first evening, Gary will present 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 are delighted to have the original prints, which were being stored for us at Huntingdon Library.
