Who’s got my nuts by Martin Neal
- Thanks to Mike Wilson, it was privilege on Thursday 21 March to see wildlife captured in camera, pre digital; pre auto-focus and limited film speed.
- Mike shared with us his original slides that he had taken over a period of years showing us some of his beautiful wildlife images. A very enjoyable evening.
- At times we forget how easy it is now with digital photography, with slide film there was no pre-view to check exposure only the rubbish bin if you got it wrong.
- This coming Thursday 28 March, yes another month nearly gone, is the Tony Perryman Mono Print competition.

By Malcolm Tinn
- Congratulation to Heather Clarke on winning the Digital League. Second was Mark Edwards, Third Alan Norris and Fourth Dave Hobbs.
- Last Thursday 14 March was an interesting presentation by Andrea Hargreaves. Her work is very creative and her use of Photoshop is out-standing. Her presentation did provoke a lot of discussion among the members; she has made an international name for herself as an photographic artist. I personally loved her images and I am still striving to reach her level of Photoshop skills.
- This Thursday 21 March we have a Wildlife presentation by Mike Wilson. Mike will be showing some of his pre-digital images from the days when everything had to be right in the camera.
- Also this coming Thursday 21 March is Mono Print Hand-In time.
- Good trip to this year’s Photography Show at the NEC in Birmingham. Pleased to see so many of our members there some even parting with their money. Enjoyable show but car parking a bit pricey at £16.
