Have you ever looked at an image and thought wow! More to the point, have you ever wondered how you could improve your photos to get that “wow” factor?
You can. Easily. In spring, 2024 Thornbury Camera Club will hold a course in photography for beginners. You will learn:
The price will be £75 per person. This not only unchanged from the last time the course was run, but includes both the course and membership of the club for the remainder of the season – to August 2024. If you are interested, please contact Mike Ashfield at [email protected]. Why not give a place on the course as a Christmas Present? Even better, why not give it to yourself! |
Steve has produced a tutorial on Making a Greetings Card which can also be found on the Tips and Tricks page. Don't forget, Steve also gave us a tutorial on Making Christmas Baubles in Photoshop last year. This tutorial is also on the Tips and Tricks page.

"As a member of Thornbury Camera Club, this is a personal reflection on summer evening meet-ups when members would assemble at different local spots then disperse to take different shots which would later be shared on facebook. This is an AV of several of the places we met in Summer 2021"
