Thank you Glyn for arranging this superb day.
8 club members attended the Talbot Institute on a wet miserable day,but the heat was on inside with 2 studio light set ups.
4 lovely models,Kelly,Kat,Lucy and Vanessa, came along to help us in our studies.I know they enjoyed themselves and I would like to thank them on behalf of the club for their time and effort.I do hope that we are able to provide them with some good quality images for their portfolio's (and our competitions).
I'm sure that all who attended learned a great deal about lighting and how to handle models.
Once again thank you,Glyn and Pam, for a great 'field trip'.
Another great day out with friends. The weather was a little mixed, with rain when we got to the Stables in Dowlais, but for the rest of the day it was mainly dry with a few short bouts of drizzle and by 4pm the weather was wonderful.
Pat's knowledge of the area stood us well and after visiting the Stables, we went for a coffee and snack at the heritage centre, then made our way to the Iron Works where "Coalhouse" was filmed. Later we went to Big Pit and some chose to go underground, whilst other remained on the surface. Finally we went to the railway and saw the last steam train of the day coming into the station.
All in all, a great day, which was full of fun and laughter.
This was an excellent night out and well supported by around 20 people. The tour provided by the lifeboat volunteers was superb. We definitely need to go back during their training sessions!
6 of us turned out for this wander around SA1. We were able to get some interesting and varied shots of the architecture and water,especially after dark when Lynne and I stayed to take pictures of the bridge and traffic near Wind street.(it didn't rain)
Great evening last night, nice to see so many members attending. The stepping stones were a bit of a challenge !! Shame the sunset did not develop but a nice evening nonetheless.
A great evening, which was attended by over 20 members and rounded off by a social gathering at the Watermill. I would particularly like to thank potential new member Kirstyn for coming and joining in with the fun we were having and I hope we see a lot more of her and others like her in the future.
It is nice to see your work again Ray, Lynne tells me you have been unwell. I have been and done that this year too. Hope to see you back with the Club in September.

Ray, this is true. My intention is to allow visitors to comment and vote on members images and I can then have a random selection of the popular (greatest votes) on the front page. I will modify the gallery pages soon to simplify this process.
Darren, I have noticed by clicking on the name under an image you are able to post your comments,maybe a topic on how to post images and how to
comment on the images.
Great night last night thanks to Glyn Edmunds who brought the contents of his entire studio for us to see and to explain in detail the various tecniques and mystiques of lighting and posing models in the studio enviroment as well as demonstrating almost every type of lighting available to the Photographer. Thanks from us all Glyn, I must say I learnt a great deal from the presentation as I am sure did everyone else.
Last night was great I think you will agree, John Grey, Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society, showed us manipulation from a different perspective ending with a slide, great photography and dedicated work to arrive at interesting and stunning pictures.

Another well attended and excellent evening out with plenty of variety for everyone. It was mainly overcast, but at least we didn't have any rain!

Another damp evening but we were out taking shots.
A nice sundown gave us a final flurry of snaps.
Finished off with a chat and a pint,lovely.
Very wet
only 2 of us got out of the cars & we think 3 pictures were taken in total.
so we retired to the local & got wet inside as well.

What a great visit. We were treated like VIP guests by the knowledgable and helpful staff who clearly enjoy their work.

Thanks Ray. Hope you like it. I still need to "tweak" the gallery pages to make them look better but functionally I think it works ok.
