Tuesday 28th November 2023 we had a workshop session about Focus Stacking and High Dynamic Range (HDR) from one of our club members, Steven Galvin. Steven clearly put a lot of work and thought into the workshop and brought loads of equipment. We are all very thankful for such an educational, informal and social evening. Thank you Steven!One of the important parts of Focus-Stacking Steven wanted us to achieve is to compare an image where focus was made sharp from front to back, with an image where we were selective in how much we wanted in focus; hence my two examples. (The second image choosing to only have two dolls in focus.) For interest I have added a couple of screen shots of the Serif Affinity program doing its work.For the HDR I let the Canon R5 do its work in camera, selecting from many options, ‘Auto’ and ‘Natural’. This has given the HDR image a subtle and natural look, while showing more details in the shadows and bringing down the highlights. ... See MoreSee Less

Marlow Camera Club hosted a wonderful night with Robert Snary from Enfield Camera Club, Tuesday 21st November 2023. It was Robert’s second visit – we enjoyed his last visit so much. Plenty to learn, especially handling exposure. With long exposures of the light source itself (Robert's lights), shutter speed won’t control how bright those lights are going to be, one has to rely on ISO and aperture. Shutter speed will have an influence on how bright your background is going to be. As far as shutter is concerned, I chose to use the Bulb setting in order to precisely time the duration of Robert’s movements. For photos with a dark background I kept the ISO low (100), for shots where I wanted to show the background I raised the ISO (400) and used larger apertures (typically f2.8). I also tried a few other techniques like intentional camera movement (ICM), rotating the camera (roll from portrait to landscape during the shot) and zoom bursts. Many thanks go to Robert for a great night. If you haven't tried light painting, have a go, it is a lot of fun. Jon ... See MoreSee Less

We had an excellent opening night of the 2023/24 season last night with a first class presentation on Printing 101 by Rowena Wolton and Andy Kirby. It was very obvious that a lot of work had been put into this presentation, so our thanks goes to Andy and Rowena. Both of them will be returning later in the season to give other presentations. A copy of the handouts from last night will be going onto the club website for those of you that couldn't make it.Next week(19th) we have a talk on Sports Photography by Darren Woolley, a commercial photographer who specialises in Sports Photography. As well as being an interesting topic, it should come in very useful for this year's Chair's Challenge in December, the topic for this year is Photos with a Sporting Theme.
