Mid-Week Outing
2021-09-07 10:30 - 14:00 | VIC
Hello everyone,
Well, we will be locked down for another 3 weeks and that means we cannot meet outside as planned.
However, we have a fall back plan in the shape of the usual Zoom meeting (see mailout for details).
This month, Jim O’D (Jim the younger) will demonstrate the art of making digital backgrounds that can be used to enhance portraits and other photos.
Jim W (the Wise) will deliver a short presentation on scanning old slides and photos for digital archiving, or for use in photobooks.
Both presentations are bound to be of riveting interest, at least to the presenters.
We also invite members to show a few images that they have been working on.
Everyone is welcome, particularly members who do not regularly attend the usual outings.
Regards
Jim O’D
PS Please bring your own coffee.
