22 SEPTEMBER 2022

The evening began with an Extraordinary General Meeting and a discussion amongst members present about a proposed change to the Club's constitution.  The amendment, considering the length of service in certain Club posts, was narrowly approved and will be effective from next summer.

Member Danny Wootton then took us on a learning curve with a presentation about Composition as applied to landscapes. A review of composition 'rules' led to a discussion about the importance of thinking where to put the subject and inevitably consideration of when to break the 'rules'.  We all agreed that there is no one right or wrong way, but maybe we might consider the 'rules' before having confidence to pursue our own vision of how an image should look.

We concluded the meeting with a look at subjects beginning with the letter B, open to any interpretation. It was good to see newer members posting plenty of images!  The session was run as a critique session with feedback and suggestions from members.  All good fun and a few images discussed shown below.
