Editor - Derek Godridge with Karen Burton and Paul
Personally, Jan and I am off to Photo-London early tomorrow morning on the first train out so this Newsletter is going out on Thursday night.
Members had a great night out tonight, around and about in Falmouth along with a good old chat. Hopefully we may be seeing some of the results of their endeavors in our Facebook page so look out for them.
Thanks to Karen for leading the group and I’m sure it was a very interesting evening and set members up with the confidence to go out and about on their own.
Summer Programme –
Karen continues to plan our Summer Programme and don’t forget that if you have any ideas, please get in touch.
Competitions
Next Season
Diary Dates – (From Karen and Paul) PCC
Sunday 15th May from 1 pm – Banger Racing at United Downs. Remember judges like images that are unusual and there are bound to be characters and crashes that are competition candidates. Please advise Karen if you are going. Here’s a map courtesy of Google
Camera settings? This will be weather dependent but I’m planning to leave home with; S mode and set the speed to 1/750th, I may crank it up faster (1/1000?) on the day. 1/250th might work for tracking shots. ISO 400-800 should be good, less if sunny. Shooting mode; Continuous. Metering; Centre-weighted. White balance; Auto or sunny/cloudy depending on the day. A longer lens (200mm+) will beat a shorter lens (70mm-) BUT there will be dust. Focusing through the safety fence will be a NIGHTMARE for most cameras - try and avoid it! Cars coming out of a corner towards you will give the best results.
Thursday 19th May - Porthleven Meet Up meet by Harbour Inn, TR13 9JB at 6.30pm.
