THIS WEEK AT THE CLUB 

Thursday 16 March
Members’ Evening How to #4 – An alternative to Adobe
Several BCC members use Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop extensively, but most, especially some newer members, don’t. Maybe the Adobe subscription is too expensive, or the software is perceived as too complex, but there are other software programmes available and tonight we will talk through how to get results that can be par with Lightroom and Photoshop from one of the most cost effective there is – Affinity Photo

It is also hand-in for Mono PDI Competition round 3

7.45pm at the USC

Presentation – “The Art of Macro” with Tony North
A great opportunity to prepare us for getting out in the fields during springtime. Tony has a passion for macro and landscape photography and says there’s something about spending a few hours in a wildflower meadow capturing images of butterflies and dragonflies that really excites him. Hopefully his talk will also excite and inspire us for what is the perfect time of year.
