Roy Packer on Light Room 5 and Silver Efex Pro

TENBY AND DISTRICT CAMERA CLUB A large turn out of members and guest attended the club meeting on Thursday 26th September to listen to Roy Packer the club chairman on the subject of Light Room 5 and Silver Efex Pro, together with black and white conversion. Roy firstly pointed out all your adjustments to the images are non destructive and you can go back at any time to reverse, remove or re edit them. Light Room 5 cannot match Photoshop’s layers, masks, blend modes and other high end manipulation tools, but from the photographer’s point of view, Light room still has practically all the enhancement and adjustment tools needed to make a good photograph great. Roy explained briefly what was new to this Light Room package and gave us an overview of the upright tool, radial gradient and smart previews. Following a break for tea and coffee, Roy went on to talk about ‘Silver Efex Pro 2’ which is a plug in and allows global adjustments with slide show of images that Roy had converted and adjusted to black and white, together with music. 3rd October – Judging of the clubs 1st open competition and hand in of prints and digital images for natural history 10th October – Aircraft and bird flight photography an illustrated talk by Steve Littlewood

Tenby Male Choir

Hello Roy - got your name and details from your Camera Club website As secretary of Tenby Male Choir I'm contacting you to see if we could mutually help each other The problem we have is that in order for us to take formal/semi-formal photo's when in concert we need one of our choristers to take photo's using my Nikon D40 camera - trouble is that the chorister is needed on stage as well! With all due respect to some of our lady supporters they try but aren't very successful! Technically it's quite a challenge to get decent shots without unduly interfering with the concert in progress We were wondering if any of the camera club would be interested in taking up the challenge? The majority of our concerts take place in and around Tenby We have a Press Office who writes an article for the Tenby Observer each week and whilst, this on-going assignment would be on a "no fee" basis, I'm sure he would be happy to print pictures with relevant personal credits on the photo's themselves for the benefit of the photographer. We hold 30 concerts each year - the majority of which are raising funds for charity - happy to acknowledge all pictures within our concert programme and website Any interest? Best regards -- David Stewart-Walvin Secretary - Tenby Male Choir
