Welcome

Your duly elected committee is going to be using this blog to post details of our club meetings and outing. So far we've communicated solely by e-mail but our messages don't always get through so we thought we'd create this place on the web so members can check to see what's coming up the future.

We also intend to feature members' pictures and you are invited to send in some of your pictures to Allan Jackson. You can get his email address from the e-mail updates he sends out or from him in person at the club. He will post the pictures received and you are invited to leave your comments on them, or on anything else, by clicking the link at the bottom of each post. Comments left will not appear immediately but only after being checked for evil things such as advertising and obscenity.

Here's a picture from Allan to kick off the process:

Flying Tigers by Allan Jackson

And here's a link to an article by Ken Rockwell who is very passionate that equipment is not what matters about photography. He tells the story of the great photographer Edward Steichen who photographed Isadora Duncan at the Acropolis with a camera borrowed from the head waiter of the hotel he was staying at.
