This was a fun evening! Janey Lazenby came along to talk and demonstrate Bringing the Old Masters to Light. With the help of three volunteers, namely Tony Renshaw, Sheelagh Davidson and Clayton Manhertz, some stunning costumes provided by Janey, backdrop and lights, enabled members to take images alongside Janey.
After the break, Janey demonstrated a live edit which resulted in some stunning images.
A totally enjoyable evening had by all.
At Glenys’s request tonight’s meeting was held over Zoom.
Through her talk Glenys explained of how she uses the local environment, works with what she loves to shoot, being more creative and what equipment, you may need.
Glenys started off by asking the question, do you make images for yourself or do you make images you think other people want to see? Hardest thing in photography and imaging making is finding your own voice, and the importance of continuing development.
Glenys took us through different types of photography, lumen and cyanolumen printing in which she has created her own style and the types of equipment that she has collected over the years, the lenses that she likes to use and best places to buy the paper and film.
Members were so impressed with Glenys talk, that she will be coming to visit us next year in the summer to do a workshop. We are looking forward to that evening.
This was the second part of looking at different photographic distinctions, with Paul Campbell presenting a overview of British Photographic Exhibitions (BPE’s) and how to achieve the different awards or crowns, with Sheelagh Davidson presenting some of her work which have contributed to her BPE acceptances.
In the second half we were looking at FIAP awards with Sue and James Gibson giving an overview on how the award work, the importance of all in keeping good records and with Ian Marshall a variety of images towards his AFIAP.
