Tuesday was a tuition night. Billy Gibson brought an image taken in St Conan's Kirk, Loch Awe and wanted some advice on converging verticals. This was given and at the suggestion of Dave Thompson the image was converted to monochrome. All agreed that this improved the picture. An image on Glasgow Cathedral, taken from the Necropolis by Rosemary, was also viewed and converted to monochrome which also improved the overall appeal of the picture. The sky in this one proved more difficult but suggestions from Dave and Steve proved helpful. The use of selections and the free transform tool in Photoshop was also demonstrated. Following this members viewed two videos by Danish photographer Mads Peter Iversen giving his advice and tips on landscape photography.

Next Tuesday 20th March the club are away at Lesmahagow for the Scottish Life Trophy competition. The meeting will be held in Auchenheath Village Hall commencing at 7.30pm.

The following week 27th March is our final theme evening the subject being 'Street Scenes'. Note that this is also the night for the hand in for the Annual Competitions, both Prints and PDIs.
