The next PhIG meeting will be held on Monday 18th July commencing at 10:00 am at the AIIM boardroom at the Innovation Campus, Squires way, courtesy Glen Moore.
Please let me know if you intend to come. The draft Agenda is as follows: Know Your Camera: The camera topic will be ‘Automatic Focusing’ : For almost all photos we want the picture to be in focus. There are various automatic focusing techniques used with some being more effective than others. I will show a couple of short videos on automatic focusing techniques and when auto focusing may not work. August Photo Shoot: Our Outings Director (Chris) is organising a visit to the Maritime Museum on 10th August to view the ‘Wildlife Photographer of the Year’ exhibition but it also provides us with the possibility of making the outing a PhIG Photo shoot. We need to check how many would be interested and attending and to establish a topic for the shoot. It could be ‘Ships’ or, perhaps, just capturing photos of Probus members on an outing. Other suggestions welcome. Since this outing occurs early in the month, should we still hold a PhIG meeting on the following Monday, 15th? Tone Mapping: Following the Link Robert posted of some excellent photos (http://tinyurl.com/gvnl5mt) John Devenish analysed some of them and commented that many were ‘Tone Mapped’, a technique related to HDR. John provided a link to an interesting article: http://www.lightstalking.com/5-important-tone-mapping-tips/ which explained Tone Mapping. I suspect that none of us are familiar with this technique but it could be worth discussing when John returns. Other discussion Topics? Photo Critique: The photo topic is ‘Night Lights' where we will critique some of the night time photos taken at ‘Vivid’ (or at anywhere else). Night time photography often involves using the camera to its limits and it is somewhat more challenging to get a good night time picture using the available light – no flash. Could members please e-mail me their 5 photos and I will put them into a PowerPoint presentation to allow us to quickly go backwards and forwards between the photos. Comments are closed.
