The Christmas Card evening resulted in the choosing of a beautiful picture of sheep in the snow taken by Lisa Baker Richardson, this image was way ahead in votes than any of the other shortlisted images.
Well done to all these authors.

The second half of the evening we were captivated by a tutorial by David Noton, called Chasing the Light. David shared with us his approach to getting the best possible images. This was enjoyed by everyone present and I am sure it has whetted the appetite to attend one of his lectures. Unfortunately the one Jill mentioned in Andover is sold out but he will be at Bournemouth Electric Camera Club(not to be mixed up with Bournemouth Photographic Society) on the 17th November, visit David's or the BECC website for details. David will also be giving this lecture next March at the Southampton Memorial event, again details can be found on Southampton's website.

Next week is assessment evening with Alan Cooke judging our images, please ensure you send them in by Friday evening.

Andrew Kirby is still in hospital at this moment in time as he is still undergoing therapy to get his mobility back. Again we wish him well and I am sure he would welcome any visits from members. If you are able to pop in and see him then please contact Margaret first.

See you all next week
Lynn
