After the coffee/ tea break
Jon shared his location of the Faroe Islands only a 90 minute flight from Edinburgh, fascinating images and details of photography opportunities on the islands.
Karen shared 5 street images taken on holiday in California a new photography genre that she is exploring after attending a street photography workshop in Paris.
Paul shared his 6 images taken locally with a new light weight lens normally used for vlogging, an interesting set, finishing his presentation with a lovely sunset that he captured at Gullane on the way home after one of the camera club summer outings.
To finish the evening, Graham shared his first photograph that was printed in a newspaper as an 17 year old, for which he received £5.
Thankfully Graham always has something up his sleeve, as what he was going to share, never made it to his USB, he will save that for another time. Next month he will be talking about Press Photography, sharing his experience working in the industry.
One last thing, if you've not applied to join this year and intend to - or if you've not paid your subs, please do.
