C3 Photography
This group meets typically on the fourth Monday of each month - the venue will vary depending on what we do! The date may also vary depending on what we are doing. Especially if we need daylight hours or specific light conditions.
Here's the kinds of things we do.
Forthcoming Meetings The programme for coming year for the photography group is a varied and hopefully exciting programme with a mix of practical events, theoretical events, days out, themed events and even a social or two thrown in. 2008 Wed 5th November – Fireworks photography Looking at going to the bonfire display at Heaton Norris Park. More detail as and when we have them. Monday November 24th – An introduction to GIMP 7.30pm at 2 Tennyson Close. SK4 2ED. GIMP is a very powerful and FREE photo editing program.

Photography group member Tim Davis will give us an introduction in to how to use GIMP including basic image adjustments. Monday December 22nd – Photo Critiques and Christmas party 7.30pm at 2 Tennyson Close. SK4 2ED. Happy Christmas everyone.

Wednesday January 1st – A winter photo walk
Start the year with a walk. New years resolutions usually include taking more exercise and for photographers taking more photos. Let's start the year with good intentions and combine the two with a short walk at a location suitable for taking great photos. Details of the location to be advised. The walk will be led by Ann Butterfield.
Monday January 26th – HDR – High Dynamic Range Photographs

For this event I'm going to approach a Cathedral in the North West and ask if they are willing to let us come in to photograph it.
