On Tuesday the subject covered was Print Presentation and Mounting.
President Bob Arnott demonstrated two different ways to mount pictures using the common standard size of mounts used in most camera club competitions.
The first method consisted of mounting a sized print onto a club mount using spray adhesive. This is probably the easier of the two methods
The second method was by cutting a window in the mount using an angled cutter and then mounting the print behind the cut mask created. Thereafter the print is secured by adhesive tape or perhaps a backing board. This method is more time consuming and requires making accurate measurements when cutting the window.
A discussion followed on the merits of both and the current costs of printing and mounting prints.
Next Tuesday is the hand-in night for the first Interim PDI competition. Members may submit up to four images on an open subject. Images can be either colour or monochrome.
Following the hand-in two new members, George Lighbody and Wul Peat, will give a presentation on their approach to wildlife photography and compare the results they achieve when very often taking the same photograph when they are both together.
