Another exciting lecture entitled “The Law of Averages Says” by Roger Hance FRPS. Roger will showcase his own work covering a range of genre including natural history, landscapes, sport and portraits. Roger holds four fellowships, three of which were awarded simultaneously in 1990.
A friend asked me if I knew anybody that might want to buy her camera, after a short conversation, I got very interested indeed! What she has to offer is the highly collectable and rare Fox Talbot 150th Anniversary camera kit by Zenza Bronica.
I’ve had this little booklet in my drawer for a few years and decided to find out a little of its history. In this modern age of digital photography where most of the thinking is done for us by the DIGIC6 or EXPEED4 processor, I think it is still beneficial to understand and remember the roots of photography. At least for my own photographic journey, the more I learn and experience, the less of a reliance I have on the technology, I use manual modes more often, I turn off many features and I use single-point focusing.
This article describes the Imperial Exposure Meter; it is clear from the meter that one of the main problems photographers of 100 years ago had to endure was very insensitive plates. They did however, have amazingly high resolution that even the new 50 mega-pixel Canon 5Ds cannot even come close.
This exciting lecture is a joint venture organised by the RPS Anglia Region and the Eastern Centre of the Digital Imaging Group. Steve Caplin describes himself as a Photosynthesist, he is an accomplished freelance writer, artist and designer. He is also an expert on digital manipulation and photo-montage using Photoshop. This is an event not to missed and judging by his previous talks, should prove to be very popular.
In my role as Committee Member responsible for Publicity, I’ve produced a flyer for our first exciting lecture of 2015 – ‘The Creative use of Lightroom to Improve Your Photographs‘ by Ken Payne. The layout and design of this flyer is as a result of the RPS being re-branded; this now seems to be a common occurrence in this modern world; I do hope you like the new look!
