Camera Club Meeting Notes – 21st May 2013

Members showed their photographs from the Exton outing evening on May 7th, with each commenting on their own photos; why they had chosen that particular view and how they felt it had turned out.

The themes for this meeting , Flora and Fauna plus Signs of the Zodiac were displayed over the coffee break and allowed for plenty of discussion time.

What make a Good Photograph? – Ideas on this subject were followed by a listing of the points looked for by judges of Photography Competitions.

The percentage weightings given to:

  1. Technical aspect
  2. Content
  3. Message/story – were felt to be the opposite of those expected!

According to the North and East Midlands Federation of Photographers, their judges place much more emphasis on the Message rather than the Technical aspect of the picture.

Dates Reminders:

  • 13th July – a “mini-outing” to Rockingham Game and Country Fair for those members who wish to have a photography focus during the Summer.
  • 14th July – an Exhibition in the School Hall, to coincide with the opening of Jim and Mima Bolton’s garden for the NGS scheme, when teas will be provided in the Community Centre.
