    Chairs Blog December 2024

    The final month has rushed upon us already. I did get out and about in some local woods for some fungi images, also I’ve been to Elmley nature reserve, didn’t get to see the owls that everyone has been putting on Facebook though, oh well another visit needed, plenty of waterfowl, and kestrels to be seen though and a Goldfinch feeding on the teasels, it gave me an excuse to try out my new 100/400 lens.

We’ll I hope you have managed to get some fungi shots, there are still some about if you didn’t. It’s also been the time for the leaves changing colour, I’m not sure that it has been so spectacular as other years, with the weather being so mild, you might be lucky to still find a few trees not totally bare their leaves hanging on for that final big gust of wind to blow them off.

    “Critique Night” with Andy Smith

    The “Critique Night” with Andy Smith tonight (07/11/2024) was a wonderful stress free way of having another set of eyes offer constructive comments on our photographs looking at the various elements such as lighting, colour, composition, sharpness and storytelling and gave us a new perspective on our photography. I believe we all learnt from each other’s photographs during the process. Once again, a big thank you to Andy. Reminder:  Due to the hall not being available, next weeks (14/11/2024) Invicta Cup Digital (R2) meeting which is being judged by Sally Sallet will be via a zoom call. Details of the zoom meeting will follow over the next few days.
