Your club..so your input very much needed !!! So what would you like including? what would you like to differently? don't be shy...e-mail me, call me, post it hear etc etc.....

Idea?
-Fashion shoot, bring on the models & garments....and windmachines! LOL

We never got to Kew

Campsite overnighter... motorhome/ tents............. ( Any ideas to location/ time would be great )........... (Good group get together, I was thinking??)

Somewhere in the summer where's there's flowers.. or bees

Brandon Marsh is a bit far (Coventry) but there's bees and bird hides there (and it was quiet when Matthew and I went in the school hols)

Sulgrave manor not far past us, house only for accompanied tours round but the gardens are lovely...

Back to Waddesdon, again in the summer.

Ok Cool, that's a good start.... so that's lots of trips out..or visits... what about tutorials ? or ideas for outsider stuff coming in or what learning you want to take place?

I'm happy to do a car photogrpahy evening if anyone is interested ?

we can add say 3 studio sessions but this time... now most of you have some basic idea about what to do I'd like to extend it so that you set stuff up and may be we could pay a proper model to come along for a couple of sessions?

So... over to you guys again

Hi,
I cant seem to get to grips with the basic masks,burning and dodging
mike

You know I'll be up for the car session

Setting up the lights would be good - working out what a light meter does (preferably before focus lol)..

Please work on Adam to come along, we'll all behave

I'm trying Diane LOL... he said he would just need to actually nail a date LOL.. which may be easier said than done

Not sure if people are still keen on the extra assignments but could do a scavenger hunt based one, a different item or 2 over a few months?? or even if people not keen on assignments could do as an indoor session where people bring in some of the items to photograph?

No sugar cubes in the house.. darn..

Ok guys, I'm starting to put this together....SO please keep your ideas coming.. so far I haven't got that many come in so ideas please!

after seeing adams photography would like to try some cars & bike stuff maybe a motocross event

there's loads of motorcross that we could get nice and close to - didn't Dave who used to come go to one - he got some great shots??

Not sure I can be faffed with lightstands, and blinding 'em over jumps lol...

That was karting I believe... there are some motocross guys who practice on a Sunday at the old Skew bridge place near Rushden....

If the car one{setting lighting etc} is still on I would also be interested
mike

last call for ideas..... NOT trip ideas we have a lot of those..subjects ot things you'd like to photograph, PS ideas?
I still have a few spaces left....ALSO if you would like to do a tutorial of any kind PS or LR or what ever..please speak p now so I can add it..any help lightens my load

perahps a tutorial after a studio night along the lines of dodging the backgrounds as theres loads of different ways to do it and most of us do it a different way would be good to find out if there are any better ways

Think I emailed this to Dawn last night but can't quite remember lol..

I've still got that Top Gear effect PS tutorial that I did on the building at Lyveden - would be a good one to follow the car shoot?

Something that involves lots of water, mess, and god knows what! LOL

thats more like it alex
