22 January - A presentation by Stephen Ball "Scotland through the lens".
Stephen Ball is one of Scotland’s most respected and influential photographers with a body of work that captures the stunning natural beauty Scotland has to offer. Stephen's talk was a captivating journey through the lens of a skilled photographer,showcasing over 180 photographs of Scotland's breathtaking landscapes and finishing with pictures taken as an official photographer during the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo. Throughout his talk Stephen not only showed stunning images but also provided valuable insights into the techniques used to capture them. From the field to the processing stage, Stephen's attention to detail was evident as he shared his camera settings, including aperture, shutter speed, and ISO, that brought his images to life as well as delving into the use of filters, composition, and light to create visually striking and emotionally resonant photographs.
Stephen's ability to blend technical expertise with artistic vision made this talk a truly enriching experience for photography enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. A small selection of his pictures, copyright of Stephen Bell, are shown below.

8 January - The New Year started with a club workshop where members were requested to bring along images for critique. Because of inclement weather the meeting was switched to a Zoom event and Pete Baldrey, the compare for the evening, along with other members suggested possible improvements for each image on display. Pete then used various software, namely Lightroom, Photoshop, Nik and Faststone, in order to make quick adjustments to the photos in real time so that everyone could see how the suggested improvements could be implemented in practice.
