Lightroom workshops

I have spaces at my own Lightroom “essentials” Saturday morning workshops on the 8th November and the 13th December. These are being run in one of the teaching rooms at the Rum’s Eg gallery in Romsey.
Our aim will be to introduce photographers to Adobe Lightroom and give them the knowledge that they need to begin working with the programme on a regular basis. The sessions are hands-on and each participant will have the use of one of our laptops or will be welcome to bring their own machine . Usually there are six or less participants giving ample scope for individual instruction.
Cost for the session is £30

Interested photographers can contact me at ; firstscene.training@gmail.com or via our website at http://www.firstsceneimages.co.uk/My thanks for your help

Kind Regards

After the success of my recent pop-up studio days at Studio 53 Space I am holding another one on 15th November 2014....just in time for Christmas & those family gifts!

Slots are 30 minutes long and I promise a minimum of 5 excellent images, these are sent to you within 1 week of the shoot on a CD. This allows you to print/upload/post the photo's in whatever way you like. Thought if you would like advice on printing I am happy to guide you. The images are of professional quality and size, you can blow them up to canvas size with no loss of quality.

The price is £40 inclusive of postage to UK Mainland of CD.

TO BOOK PLEASE PM OR CALL GINA ON 07450294545

While most bookings are for families I happy to use the time to provide product/craft/portrait/business photos - it's your time we can use however you wish.

You can bring as many people as you wish, within reason ;-) though it is tricky to get more than 5/6 people into the studio set up - but we can use the courtyard for group photos.

Studio 53 is on George Street in Salisbury, parking can be tricky but it is only a short walk from the central & waitrose car parks.

"Travels around our human planet – the second half" by Timothy Allen

Mansfield Elliott Memorial Lecture 2014  2:30 pm 9th November 2014 Seating Plan -  PDF

Timothy Allen "Travels around our human planet – the second half" Back by public demand!  Following last year’s incredibly successful lecture, we are delighted that Tim will return to continue his travels around our human planet. Tim spends his life travelling the world and recording the lives and customs of people wherever he goes. His photographs of people and their environments are stunning and his stories of the peoples’ lives and extraordinary efforts that he makes to capture the images are totally absorbing. He has won many awards and it was no surprise to hear that he was the overall winner of Travel Photographer of the Year 2013. ..... a few comments from the public who attended Tim's lecture last year .... “That was the best lecture I have ever been to in my life” - “I would have stayed until midnight”

Another Chichester Camera Club Exhibition!

Chichester Camera Club are putting on another exhibition in the next couple of weeks, entitled "Out of Focus". 

 

The pun is intended... It's a play on the already popular annual "Focus Group" exhibition, and is not meant to portray bad camera technique!

 

The exhibition will be held from 7th-12th October at The Oxmarket Centre of Arts, East Street, Chichester, PO19 1YH, from 10.00am to 4.30pm each day.  Entry is free and a percentage of any print sales will be going to St Wilfrid's Hospice.

 

Here's the link to the relevant page on our website:  http://www.outoffocus.ukart.com/
