Important Notification for Additional Training outside Club Nights

Bazza
Hi All New and Existing Members

Following a recent committee meeting, it was suggested by several that new members to OPS would be interested in receiving additional training and knowledge on post processing of images, printing, mounting and composition etc plus input on how to present images at Club Competitions

Previous discussion groups have ended as a social evening, talking about everything on photography and although very interesting we doubt if many have come away with any further knowledge but at best inspired to know more.

Before we start a structured timetable it's necessary to obtain some further details as below from those interested in joining us with these external sessions

1) preferred evening and days in week (please select two not Tuesdays and a range of time) Wednesday and Thursdays have been suggested
2) how often would they be necessary, noting that not everyone can attend plus contents and presenters availability, we suggest initially once per month.
3) who would be willing to commit time and effort as this will be voluntary for everyone in club eg presenters
4) varying levels of skill, sometimes may require attending even though your more advanced in areas being discussed
5) location and access - unless we find a back-room somewhere there maybe a small cost implication, would you accept donation towards any reasonable cost e.g. Rugby Club = £20 split 5-7 ways
6) quantifying results (no tests but post analysis on any knowledge gained )
 

This is early days but I would like to see the initial session start during September and before Club nights return  if several show interest, as we are keen to expand our member entries with internal and external competitions.
Thanks
Barrie

Hi Barrie,

I also would be happy to help and contribute costs to the room. I sort of shied away from responding because I think I fall into "needs improvement" category especially concerning printing for competitions. However I'm happy to support where I can.

More than happy to help when I return. I have already writhed a LR instruction sheet to apply to one of my images (Mekong Barges) which goes thru a step by step process so the person can see what effect it has on each step

Thanks everyone for interest and support in this extra curriculum activity, based upon initial responses it looks as though we will proceed on one session per month for Thursday's as being the preferred option and will check on facilities and dates

For those offering presentation and training input I will get back via email to discuss content ideas.
NB
If those wishing to attend could you give some specific needs where we can build presentations around your ideas otherwise we will go with what's available.
