March Meeting
Just a quick line to say first how much I enjoyed the last meeting, as I do with all of them anyway. But more so, I must compliment you and your associate committee members on all the hard work you put into the camera club and the professional manner in which it is run, this has been proven by the many members who attend. Long may it continue.

Image of the Year & AGM Meeting
Thanks to all who arranged last night's AGM and Image of the Year Meeting, it was only our second meeting and we had a thoroughly enjoyable time and picked up a few hints and came away very jealous of the fantastic photos entered - who knows next year we may even enter a few pics of our own. If you are thinking of joining the club - do; you won't regret it. Tara and Andy Mayall

Great Meetings
Anyone who enjoys taking photographs would really benefit from the meetings, I'm on my second meeting now and they've been of enormous help, friendly advice from friendly people, a brew and a biscuit...ticks all the boxes.
Well done to all the organisers

Thank for arranging it for us.

Colin's robin
I love your robin and would like to pick your brains as I am rubbish at these kind of photos.

What kind of camera and lens did you use? Did you use a tipod? And how long did it take you to get the perfect shot? I imagine that taking an image like this requires a great deal of patience. Lastly, what camera settings were used (Mr.Robin is lovely and sharp, and the background has just the right amount of creamy blurring).

Please don't me tell it was all down to luck.....

Regards, Madeleine

Like a a number of other club members my passion for wildlife photography is very high on my daily agenda. The greatest satisfaction is at its highest when you have stalked your subject for several hours but then to capture your ideal photo is the most rewarding. In this particular situation it was an opportunist moment and with a little crop work and photoshop I was very lucky.
The Robin sat still for about 30 seconds and while standing only 3 - 4 metres away while I rapidly took a few shots.
I have just read a very interesting article on THE FIVE STEPS TO STUNNING GARDEN BIRD SHOTS of which I will get a copy to you.
Kind Regards,
Colin.
