For this exercise we are really looking for the processing style/approach and cropping rather than exterminating every single dust spot or minor blemish or any image composites etc. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The print idea is a good one that might benefit those who print at home and is certainly something to consider for one of the upcoming meetings.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Please don’t hesitate to let me know if you have any questions or comments, and I look forward to finding three more volunteers soon.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thanks<br class=""><div class="">

One thing I have learned from that is that the picture is taken in the camera, the dark room work is only to enhance the story the picture is to tell the viewer.

Given that we all use Lightroom or something similar I’m happy to start with either a raw or a full res jpeg file for maximum flexibility, with final output at the club standard 1600 x 1200. I’ll confirm the final list (if we have too many) and circulate them as soon as possible so you can all start processing in good time, along with instructions for saving the finished images. I’ll then pull them all together for a presentation on the night.<br clear="none" class="">>> <br clear="none" class="">>> Dave and I did this with the 7pm group last season and it was a very good way of discovering different interpretations of the image. Please be prepared to offer a brief explanation of why & how you processed each image as you did at the meeting.
