Update 14th January 2019


 It's a New Year and a good moment to make some photography resolutions! To help we have the first of our regular Platform meetings, this coming Thursday (17th Jan) at 2.00pm, when Nick is not only talking about Street photography, but also sharing some of the images from the Rotary Club Young Photographer competition.

The following Thursday, the 24th, is a field trip to the church at St Just in Roseland, an information sheet is available via this link. Thanks to Kathryn for the idea and initial research.

Following on from the last newsletter David says, "Happy New Year to All.  Firstly may I sincerely thank those of you who have completed the Needs/Talents survey- I’ve had contributions from 10 group members so far. I would still welcome more responses before our next Platform meeting on 17th January- the more people involved in this process, the more “added value” is potentially available to you as a Group member. The link is:- https://goo.gl/forms/jKeUvy7jG46tv9Xo2  Not surprisingly Photoshop currently appears the most popular topic together with some individual “camera awareness” issues & help with certain genres of Photography. I will be progressing the various ideas/topics by contacting those who have contributed so far & intend to update the Group at our next Platform meeting. Thanks again for your support”


Wishing you all a year of exciting photography,

Steph
