MEDIA LAUNCH OF BEACH 2012 CALENDAR


On Tuesday September 6th, Beach Photo Club members are invited to gather at Community Centre 55 as the Beach 2012 Calendar is officially launched. (see President Sweeney's recent e-mail for further details)

The local media will be there as well as the panel members who helped in the selection of the images for the calendar.

The 13 main calendar images will be on exhibit and many of the club photographers featured in the calendar plan to attend the event.


The calendar represents a towering achievement for our club as it draws on our collective and numerous abilities in the creation of such an exceptional product. Join us to celebrate and share in the successful completion of this huge photo club initiative.

PRINTING PHOTOGRAPHS - THE RIGHT WAY (WORKSHOP)


Workshop: PRINTING PHOTOGRAPHS - THE RIGHT WAY
We start with a critique of student photos, what was done right and what could be improved on. We apply the guidelines of composition, then cropping, colour correction, tone correction and retouching for an impactful edge. Next we look at the best printing paper options. A printing work flow is then demonstrated to ensure an accurate print.

Join me for a three hour workshop on printing using an Epson Stylus Pro 3880 printer and a variety of paper surfaces!
Hope to see you there,
