The Digital Photography group covers all aspects of the subject, from the technical and aesthetic basics of taking good photographs to the use of photo-processing software to enhance our pictures. There is a debate about computer “enhancement” as some consider that this is “cheating” by altering what the camera saw, but others see it as a way of improving a picture. This can be by “cropping” the edges to remove unwanted and distracting background from a picture or by altering the brightness or contrast in the picture.
Interestingly these techniques and many others are not recent innovations as a result of the digital revolution but have been used in dark rooms since photography began in the nineteenth century!
The group meets monthly to view and discuss pictures that members have taken on an agreed topic. We also have training sessions led by members or talks on subjects of photographic interest to the group.
Our Group is currently at below full capacity and is accepting new members. If you are interested, contact the Group Coordinator.
