A split night. In the main hall we'll be doing a semi-practical session looking at taking control of the three key elements of exposure, ISO, shutter speed and aperture and the effect they have on your photos. 

Please bring your camera and lenses, we want to make sure everyone ends up both understanding what the elements are and how to access these parameters on their camera. We will also be setting you all a challenge....

In the back room we will be running the first of three sessions for beginners covering basic elements of photography, kit and software.

A non-competitive night where members will be offered the chance to have informal critique on their images from one or more of the qualified judges in the club. These might be images you are considering for future competitions or simply shots where you couldn't achieve what you wanted and would like some expert advice. Format of the evening tbc. but please be prepared to bring your images on a memory stick.

In preparation for the first club competition of the season on the 15th October, this will be a tutorial session on preparing your images for competitions. This will include:

- resizing images in different software packages
- colour profiles
- screen colour calibration
- applying keylines
- simple image tuning
- the difference between your screen and the projector

We will also look forward to competitions other than the internal club run events you might want to look at entering this season.
