Next Wednesday our speaker is Colin Harrison FRPS MFIAP EFIAP/s MPAGB FBPE FIPF (how many points is that little lot worth on a Scrabble board?). Colin's talk is called a Digital Adventure - Looking at Images. This is a fast flowing non-technical talk that covers his progression in digital imaging after the demise of colour slides. He will show how some of his styles have turned full circle as he hopes his computer skills have developed over the years. Colin will photograph anything and this will be reflected in the variety of images you will see including many creative award winning images for which he says he is happy to share some of his secrets with you.

You can see some of Colin's images on the Guest Page of the BPS website or some of his recent work on www.colinharrisonphotographer.co.uk

 

Don't forget that next Monday, 14 January, is the monthly gathering of the DI Group. All members are welcome, either come just to sit back and look at other members' pictures or bring along some of your own pictures, either prints or projected images, to show or discuss. It's a good oportunity to see what the images you've only previously seen on a PC monitor look like on the big screen.
