Evaluation Night @ Speed No 1

In 2019 we changed the format of two Evaluation nights to offer more people the chance to provide constructive feedback but in smaller groups. We learnt a lot from the process and this year the concept is back.

However, to use Camera speak, this is ‘Mark II’. Based on the feedback at the end of the night and in subsequent emails the format for 2020 was a hit! Just like in photography, if you don’t try something different or new you will never learn.

During the evening we split members across five station with roughly six people per station. At each station was a selection of members images, print and digital. Each station was manned by an experienced facilitator and members were rotated every 15-20 min between stations and had the opportunity to evaluate different images with a different facilitator.

A huge thank you must go to Jim, Michael, Diane, Steve and Almitra for manning the stations. An extra special shoutout must go to Almitra for lugging her 27in iMac to the hall for the digital prints.

The night was so good we forgot to take any photos of the format - I had just one job to do and failed;)
