Wishaw/Motherwell
Motherwell Photographic Society Ken Lindsay, a member of the Eastwood Photographic Society, gave a fantastic presentation entitled “Travels to Myanmar and Cambodia” at the meeting of the club on Thursday of last week. As part of his presentation he showed images taken using the RAW format before, and after, making any adjustments. The changes made were not necessarily highly technical, but showed the importance of looking at the image, selecting the best part, cropping and editing and the differences in the end result were quite astounding. At this week’s meeting on Thursday, February 16, the club will be showing one of the Scottish Photographic Federation’s portfolios and, as always, anyone with an interest in photography, no matter what level, is welcome to attend.
