22 An Introduction to Adobe Lightroom Terry Hewitt
Adobe Lightroom is designed specifically for professional and amateur photographers. It is an efficient, powerful way to import, process, manage, and showcase large volumes of digital photographs. It enables you to spend less time sorting and organizing images, so you have more time to actually shoot and perfect them. In this presentation Terry will describe what it is, what it does, who uses it and how it integrates with the other Adobe products such as Photoshop and Bridge. The talk will be in the form of an interactive demonstration of Lightroom, including its importing, keywording, sorting, organising, exporting, slideshow, printing and web creation capabilities.

06 Location Evening - Bring Your Cameras Crosby Village - Details to be confirmed
Crosby village has been earmarked for redevelopment by one of the supermarket giants. This will involve the demolition of most of the current Moor Lane shopping area (including some art deco features) to make way for a mega-sized supermarket and car parks. We thought it would be a good idea to spend a club evening recording the area before the bulldozers move in.
