Biglad Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Some stunning shots there Malcolm. I bought a DSLR around 2 year ago but find it difficult to get a grasp of probably even the basics. I could do with some help but have little time to get out and about to practice. What are the charges and how long do you meet for? Once a month doesn't seem like much, do you just gather to show your images or do you do tuition too? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Posted October 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Hi Biglad. The meetings run from 7.30pm till 10pm once a month (more if there is a lot going on), we enter into national, International and inhouse competitions. We also exhibit locally. In 2010 there was an exhibition held in the museum and 2011 we held an exhibition at the Gilbert Bain Hospital (we are hoping to exhibit in more venues as we go along). There is a annual membership fee (I will find out how much this is going to be this year and post it here) and there are more than enough professionals who are more than willing to give their expert help. Let me know where you live and I will see who is in your area that might be able to give you some pointers. Mal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustMe Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Had a quick look and will be back for more but one thing strikes me about a lot of the photos which is that the skill has been the photographer seeing that there is a good picture to be had rather than any technical tricks with an expensive camera. Funny enough I have a digital SLR camera donated by my sister and have yet to get out of using it in anything other than simple mode. Going to set myself the task of learning how to use it properly as a winter project but concentrating on which of the many functions available will be of most use to me.
