Photography means many things for many people; our interests and what type of
photos we take are often very varied and different from those of others. So last
Thursday was a great opportunity to see just what some of our members have taken
photos of. Ann Glinn opened the evening with photos from a trip that she made to
Japan accompanied it with her really interesting dialogue. Next up Raymond and
Julia Bate are National Trust members and their pictures were excellent photos of
some beautiful properties from across the South West of England. President Geoff
James then showed some pictures from the local area taken with his new camera.
Chairman Ron Pitcher produced a selection of photos taken from 1995 up to present
day as examples of how technology has improved cameras and helps them produce
better images. Victor Tulin then showed images as examples of how Photoshop can
be used to change and improve photos. Derek Godridge showed images taken at
the Tate Modern with excellent studies of people reacting to art in the gallery. Finally
Wendy Bate treated us to an entertaining tour through Paris. What a brilliant, varied,
entertaining and instructive evening. www.penryncameraclub.org.uk
