Photo sites

Check out some of Ansell Adams' pictures at the Library of Congress. The tremendously interesting thing about them is that you can download files in various sizes up to 100Mb. Just think of the print you could make from those! Another page at the LOC is the contents page for their other collections.

Go down Point Road until you get almost to the end. You'll have the blue-roofed Dredging Services on your left as the road takes a sharp left turn at the Cheese Wedge building. We'll meet at the small fenced car park on the left immediately after the turn.

We will go for breakfast eventually but you might like to bring to bring coffee and/or a snack to tide you over.

Meetings - March 2009

NOTE ABOUT SECOND MONTHLY MEETINGS

Our first second meeting of the month has come and gone and hopefully these will go from strength to strength. The assignment for the next second meeting (19 March) is to find and bring an Ansel Adams picture to show. Just to remind you that the balance of the assignment is to bring in a picture that you have altered in an image manipulation program - a before and after would be great.

MEETING ON 3 MARCH 2008

This is a reminder about our meeting on 3 March 2009 at 7pm at Hillcrest Sports Club. There will be a talk by commercial photographer Patrick McGee.

We will have a very short break for tea and then view and discuss pictures members have brought with them. The set subject this month is Birds, Bees and Butterfies.

Remember only 3 pictures per member.
