The last part of our meeting consists of a talk, usually - but not always - given by Glynne, on a particular aspect of photography and/or digital editing. The original purpose of these talks was to allow those members with limited experience of digital photography and editing to brush up on their basic techniques and learn new ones, hoping to put them on a more equal footing with the more experienced members of the group.

​

Recently, other members have given talks about subjects they have experience of, and this is hopefully a growing trend.

 

Aimed principally at members who have little or no knowledge of the subject, the talk is placed at the end of the meeting so that those members who feel they have a solid grasp of the topic being discussed can opt to leave early.

​

During the pandemic, Glynne recorded online video versions of the more popular topics, so that members could remind themselves of some of the techniques outlined in them. Make sure your sound is turned up, then click on the links opposite to view them..... ->
