John Porter LRPS CPAGB John is currently vice Present of Ashton-under-Lyne Photographic Society. He will show us images from his recent trip to South Africa including two safaris.

Members will provide images for us to discuss. This is not a competition. We will have images that the author hopes are “good” and also ones that caused problems at either the taking stage or in editing. The idea is to learn from each other.

This evening has been brought forward from October.

Round two of our bi-monthly projected images competition. Judged by Steve Proctor

Members will submit images that may or may not have been wholly or partially generated by “Artificial Intelligence”. They will be judged by a panel of our members. Later the audience will say, by a show of hands, whether they think the image was produced by AI. The authors will reveal the truth, and can share how they did actually produce their images.

This evening we will be divided randomly into two teams for an informal competition judged by members of Bury Art Society. The team captains have chosen the best of the submitted images not previously seen in competitions.

An evening of images from our Sports Photography group.

This is firstly for anyone who has received advice or comments from a competition judge and would like some help with implementing these ideas. Other members, please suggest anything else you would like to see or hear on these evenings.
