| 04/09/2023 | Interesting Stuff | St Andrew's Church Hall | Justin Minns | A quest to find interesting subjects to photograph is one of the things that keeps me motivated, the question is what makes an interesting photograph, the subject or the photographer? | https://www.justinminns.co.uk/profile |

| 25/09/2023 | Working with Textures | Zoom | Janey Lazenby | Answering all the what and how questions, I go through sourcing and creating textures , how to use blend modes and then 3 different methods of how to apply textures to an image. After a short mid way break, I invite the club to submit random images for a live edit where I will take between 3-5 images and apply textures from my own stock to create final pieces., narrating every click on route. I believe that seeing the process happen 'for real' is very valuable for viewers. A talk that always goes down well as a hands-on 'how-to', I travel slowly and clearly through the technical aspects, happily repeating steps if requested. | https://www.ejlazenbyphotography.co.uk |
