Season Highlights 2022 - 23

FOCUS CHALLENGE

Members were tasked to create some images that showed off highlights of the life and landscape of 'the Strettons'

Entries to the challenge were appraised by the members, with a selection of favourites offered to the cover editor of The Focus magazine for consideration as potential magazine covers in the future.

In the meantime, for producing the member's Top Picks, congratulations to:

David Kennedy, Long Mynd Ponies; Jill Ming, Ragleth Dawn; Julia Williams, Stretton in Snow

Club Workshop:  Exotic Animal Shoot

Well, this was an evening with a difference.  With some new club lighting available we had some great entertainment snapping away at a range of reptiles and invertebrates.

There will be lots of learning about composition (backgrounds), focus and exposure.  Thanks to Simon, from Corner Exotics, for exhibiting these creatures and sharing his knowledge about them.

Peer Review Night

This gallery comprises some of the images presented for 'Peer Review'.  This round table exercise is designed to pose questions about what makes a successful image, whether that be illustration, creativity, storytelling and so on.  Members are encourges to explore the boundaries of their usual practice.  Click an image to begin activate slides.
 

Club Workshop:  Nightshoot

Our latest workshop, a nightshoot in Shrewsbury, was led by our friend Philip Dunn.  Taking in just a small selection of pre-arranged locations Philip challenged our technical skills.  With very low light and some occasional lightpainting we had to master long exposures and create some moody urban-scapes.  This small gallery gives an impression of how authors used different processes to interpret the scenes on offer.
