Workshop 2 - Lenses and Accessories

The Photography Society held it's second workshop yesterday evening. It focused on lenses and accessories. By learning and understanding the equipment it allows us all, as photographers, to become better. During the workshop we looked at all the competition entries for the 'Autumn theme' competition. We went through as a group and said what we liked about the images, but, also how they may have been improved. By analysing photographs it allows us to think more in-depth when taking our own images. 

The competition winner for October is Ryan Nicholson. Well done on his early rowing session image!

The competition theme for this month is 'Time'. It's quite an obscure theme, so we're expecting to see lots of imagination!

Halloween Party

Photography Society are pleased to announce an After Halloween Party which is going to take place in Fusion, on the 1st of November, 10pm - 2pm.

Good music (DJ AMEX), lots of fun and an unforgettable night is to be expected. Don't forget to dress up as crazy as you want, but if you do not want to wear any costumes, you are still more than welcome. 

The most frightening costume will win a special prize at 12 o'clock midnight. 

All the money raised will be given to charity - Movember month (prostate and testicular cancer support) - RAG

Members - £1
Non members - £ 2.50

Hope to see you all there and let's make this party unforgettable.

Secretary

Say hello to our new secretary, Alex (Left).

Election.

On Tuesday we had our election for the position of secretary. We had two candidates running for the position; Alex and Dan. Congratulations to Alex on joining the executive team and commiserations to Dan for his efforts! With the team growing we should see a new level of organisation which in turn, will improve the events run by the Society.

So shout out to our new secretary if you see her!

The Social

The Social

The social initially started at Haworth Arms, but we soon realised there was not enough space in there for all of us! We moved on to The Gardeners Arms for a few drinks. After there we moved on to somewhere a little cheaper (Fish-bowl), where you could get 'blow jobs' and 'wet pussies' for £1! Needless to say these are shots, and probably not what you initially thought - you dirty so and so's. 

After Fish-bowl we walked to [W]elly... in the rain. Member's spirit began to fall but morale was soon restored when we entered [W]. 

In the end it was a pretty epic night, I hope you enjoyed the photos as much as I did.

Our First Social

We now have the details for the first social!

***BAR CRAWL*** 

 ***4th October***

Starting at Haworth Arms at 20:30 and then moving on to the bars down Beverly Road, finally finishing at [W]elly. 

There is no 'Photography related' theme for this social. However we would like you to bring white t-shirts and pens, so make sure it's a tee you're not too fond on!
