Events

After the excitement of photographing the various events at the carnival last month, we are back on Wednesday 16 September at our usual venue, the Aldeburgh Library and at the usual time of 7.30 pm. 

This month we are very pleased to welcome again Simon Reid.  Earlier this year Simon gave a very interesting talk on his life as a motorsport photographer.  This time Simon will lead a discussion and give practical instruction on how to explore and develop the creative skills of editing images on smartphones and tablets mainly using the free app… SnapSeed (from Google).

Simon has been working as a freelance photograher and has been editing his own photos, or working as a photo retoucher for over two decades.  Digital photography is often considered a two part process; capturing images and then editing them.  He will also briefly discuss composition and exposure options while taking photos.  Finally he will give a practical demonstration of how, even on your phone, you can edit photos to fit a creative or artistic aesthetic and will include a comparison between SnapSeed and Lightroom or Photoshop.

The next meeting of the Aldeburgh Photography Group will be held on Wednesday 21 October at 7.30pm in the Aldeburgh Library. 

This month we are very pleased to welcome Kevin Sawford to our club.  Kevin is a professional wildlife photographer based in Suffolk.  The subject of his talk will be ’20 nature projects throughout the year’.  He will take us on a pictorial journey to enthuse and stimulate our interest in nature.  From in and around our home to specific projects or seasonal ideas, this presentation will provide us with plenty of suggestions for photographing the natural world around us and across the year.

Kevin runs an array of photographic courses for the Suffolk Wildlife Trust and at RSPB Minsmere. He has won multiple awards in national and international competitions including the European Wildlife Photographer of the Year, Bird Photographer of the Year, British Wildlife Photography Awards and International Garden Photographer of the Year. Kevin is one of the RSPB agency photographers whose work is regularly seen in the RSPB magazine and other RSPB literature and merchandise. His website www.kevinsawford.com showcases his imagery and lists his current available courses.
