Colour - Is it a pigment of your imagination? |
Gordon Jenkins |
|
So, you've taken a good photograph... maybe you've even manipulated it in Photoshop... and you decide to print it on your trusty inkjet printer. Smashing - but then a while later your print looks completely different. It changes colour or it looks faded, and you end up feeling mystified and disappointed. Gordon will explain how colours work and just why it is that prints can "go off" over time. A valuable and useful talk for us all. |

A chance for club members to have a say about the club, suggest changes, stand for office, get involved... |
| | | |
We do not hold any official club meetings between May and September, however a number of members continue to meet on an informal basis in the Brooke Hotel, Brooke Rd West, Crosby, L22 2BE.
The first "pub meeting" will be on the second Wednesday after the AGM - then fortnightly throughout the summer recess.
These social meetings (8pm onwards) are open to anyone and are intended for members to keep in touch during the "closed" season and possibly arrange to go on photographic outings.
|

| We look forward to seeing you in September |
