| The
first of Ivybridge & District Camera Club’s
February meetings was a well-attended and busy evening.
Scheduled as a members’
travelogue event using projected images, the club also
squeezed in the selection of prints and slides for the
forthcoming inter-club battle with Saltash and Liskeard
camera clubs. Members were asked to bring along winning
previous prints and slides and a whittling down approach
was applied to these, enabling members to take part
in the critique and selection process.
Members’
travelogues were started off with a slide projection
trip to Ayers Rock, Australia given by Colin Wilkins
who although now lives in Ivybridge, has spend many
years working in Australia.
Next up was Keith
Mason from Ivybridge, who took us on a tour around the
Alhambra Palace, Spain using a digital projector to
show images from his digital camera. This was followed
by a digital trip with Bernard Howley of Saltash to
see bird life on the west coast of Florida, USA.
Keith Miller
treated us to a motor cross championship meeting in
the Isle of Wight where flying through the sky was a
common activity for motorcycle riders on their machines
but the only birds to be seen were definitely not of
the feathered variety. Also using the digital projector,
David Rayner from Ivybridge demonstrated the method
he used to capture and reproduce a montage of images
from the eclipse of the sun taken last October in Spain.
All in all we
had a very interesting and different evening indeed,
and one that was enjoyed by everyone.
The next meeting
will be held on Tuesday the 28th February when we will
be pleased to welcome Mr John Hawkins CPAGB from Newton
Abbott to judge the Challenge Cup competition. Visitors
are welcome to attend from 7:15 pm at the Community
Hall, Jubilee Terrace, Bittaford. Further information
and directions are available elsewhere on this website.
