Only four of us this week but there were some good pictures nevertheless. The current projects are ‘manipulation’ and ‘close-ups’.

Peter surprised us with the quality of the A4 prints of pictures he had taken with the camera in his mobile phone . We had to reluctantly admit that the camera technology now being used in modern mobile phones has advanced considerably when one remembers those early blurred, out of focus images.

Brian’s interpretation of ‘close-up’ was ‘extreme’ showing us prints of photographs taken with an electronic microscope. Ken, who is our ‘bug’ man, didn’t attend, but he would have been proud to have taken the pictures of the greatly magnified insects. His status is not under threat, however, as Brian admitted that he had copied them (and a very good job he did too) from a magazine!

Our leader’s pick of the meeting is a ‘manipulated’ photograph taken by Peter. He admits that he didn’t create it but full marks to him for recording the moment when the Vista ‘Desktop’ screen on his computer got a little confused!

The next meeting will be on November 11th.
