This Week

Digital Group

We meet this week on Thursday,

21st April at 7.30pm at ClainesRoyal British Legion, Cornmead-

ow Lane, Worcester.

You should have received your

email reminder from Martin that

this will also be the last chance

to provide images for the 2015

e-yearbook. You can see previous

volumes here.

All members are welcome!

Karen says it’s time to update the Camera Club’s website with something

more seasonal. Please send your images to website@worcscc.uk.

The dimensions are 850 by 345 pixels (which also happens to be ideal

for the header image of WCC News!). If you’d like to know how to crop to

that specific size there’s a new tutorial on the website, for both Light-

room and Photoshop,  here...

supper before the Annual Show

The Midland Region Print & PDI Club Championships

2

These were held on Saturday at Braunstone – we entered both competitions joining 23 other clubs from the

region.

We fared better with the PDIs, coming joint 9th with 179 points, so only narrowly missing out on getting

through to the second round. We did not do so well with Prints scoring 175 points and 15th place. The Print

marking was overall much higher; I feel this may explain why with similar scores in both competitions there

was a big difference in the final placings.

I would like to thank all the members whose work contributed to our entry – including those whose work was

not used.

The images that were scored on Saturday are listed below. The format of these competitions is such that we

have to list additional work - as clubs always hope to get through to the second round when the additional

images will be needed.

Welcome to Geoff Powell

I've been dabbling with photography for 10-15 years

with a leaning towards wildlife more than anything

else. I'm semi-retired, leaving behind computing and

now just working weekends in the summer serving

noodles. Moving from Oxford to Evesham which is

how I ended up at WCC.Geoff

A warm WCC welcome to Geoff and his fine nature trio!

I can never resist a crownbird (crowned crane). Ed.
