Before & After Talk - Warts 'n' All
Noel delivered his first talk to the Blythe Bridge Camera Club last night.
Wendy, the programme secretary, was looking for a talk which would inform club members about various aspects of photography. Noel kicked off with his general ethos, moving onto forward planning/pre-visualisation and some of his post-production techniques.
There was a small technical issue to start with but soon sorted. I also passed the relevant prints around the audience during the PDI presentation, while keeping some of the room lights on. This was welcomed, provoking great interaction with members.
Next year Blythe Bridge Camera Club will be celebrating their 70th year!
DPI & Print Presentation ‘Before & After’
Editorial Press Release 26 November 2019
Recently local photographer Noel Bennett ARPS came to talk to us about a range of his own work from landscapes to creative images. It was refreshing to see before and after images of his work, both projected and in print (which we were able to look at closely). We were taken on a journey often from a fairly bland image which Noel was able to make magical using LightRoom and PhotoShop editing programs. Lessons were presented in cropping and cleaning up bright spots and clutter to show how we all can improve our images. Listening to what others have to say can also help improve our images, and Noel has improved many images by listening to what people in his own photographic club have to say. Overall a great night and I am certainly inspired to have a go at some landscape images after this talk. A big thank you goes to Noel for making a great night!
