We met last Thursday night and went through the pictures that have been selected to date for the exhibition in the Library in June. In total we expect to display around 40 pictures which will mean that some members will get 2 of their pictures on display. All of the pictures will of equal size, the prints will be 15 x 10 with a double mount in a high quality black frame. The finish will be to professional standards and very appealing to potential buyers, judging by the sample we saw at the meeting. All of the pictures will be on sale at a very attractive price of €50 each.
At next meeting which is happening a week early as we will be getting members to frame their own pictures. Each picture frame will have its picture cord set in a jig so that all the pictures will be correctly aligned when they are in hung in Library. The dates for the exhibition are June 5th to June 16th are the public are invited to attend. We are at present looking for a VIP to open the show and I will keep you up to date on who will get the honour.
There is an Open Competition scheduled for May 5th but this may have to be reschedule due to the meeting next week and the nearness of the Exhibition, again I will update our website and email and text the members with the schedule. I am also hoping to organise an evening outing sometime in May and we must discuss the trip to the animal and bird sanctuary in Killmallock.
The tip for this week concerns the amount of pictures that digital allows us to take and the problem that it leads too. It is very easy to take hundreds of digital pictures often of the very same scene with only subtle differences between shots. When you download them to your computer immediately do a cull a keep only the best. This will save on hard drive space and consequently probably prolong its life as the disk won't be clogged up with fragments of files.
In short: Keep the best and delete the rest.
For further information contact Francis Foley on 087 905 4161 or francis.foley@live.ie or visit our website at http://ardfertcameraclub.weebly.com. Remember that we always welcome new members and guests to the club which has a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, no need to have a fancy camera, come along and learn how to take better pictures.
