Evaluation Night #8 12th November

Last night was our last evaluation night of the year, ably facilitated by our own Diane McKenzie.  As usual we had some truly wonderful photos on display and discussion, from abstract landscapes to expressive portraits, beautiful monochromes to stunning astro photography, we had it all.

For me, the best part of these evaluation nights is seeing how others see the world and hearing the back stories behind the photographs, which is always interesting.

Our next meeting is our annual AGM, where our committee and office holders are elected, or re-elected, plus we will have a top notch presentation on how to plan and execute a self-managed photography trip.  On a serious note, we have two important matters to consider at the AGM, firstly the club’s policy on the use of AI in photography, and secondly, the issue of volunteer workers insurance.  Currently the VWI is provided through the FCC, but due to  a lack of clubs taking it up, they will have to either cancel it or dramatically increase the premium.  More information will be provided at the AGM

Our final meeting for the year is our annual exhibition and Christmas party, which is an opportunity to display your best 8 images of the year and enjoy some group social interaction.  Family members are also welcome.
