Dear Photo Forum Members,

July Photo Project - 'People'

First of all, many thanks to all of you who were able to provide photos for the doors project, and parish images for the 10 Parishes Festival. We've now got about 40 door pictures to choose from, but if you come across anything else in the next few weeks do let me know as we can probably do some variations on the design. Meanwhile I'll investigate cost options for printing the images in various formats.

Secondly, please remember that we will be meeting back at The Bear Inn as usual for next month.

Thirdly! - The project for the month is 'people'. These should ideally be 'candid' images of people, perhaps out in the street, or whatever. Essentially, not posed for the camera. They could be full length shots, or perhaps just the face, or even some other part of the anatomy (I'm thinking feet dammit!). I'll leave it to you as to where and how you approach this.

Let just hope for some vaguely dry weather!

Other matters

Remember that the project each month is just for inspiration. Don't feel like you've failed if you don't find time to capture something on the theme, and of course there is always merit in looking back over past images to see if there is new relevance to them, or maybe a bit of photo editing that might make something new out of something old!

As a group we love to see photo's on any subject, so please feel free to bring along images on any theme if you'd like to share them.

Remember that the Photo Forum is for you to share and enjoy your hobby. If there is anything that you would like to see, please let me know and we'll try to get things off the ground. If you have any ideas or thoughts for what to discuss or learn about at a meeting, let me know so that I can announce it to all in advance.

Our regular meeting venue is now at The Bear Inn, at the same time, 7:30pm on the last Thursday of the month.

I look forward to seeing you at the meeting.
