4th December
Today, we were only six with two key members missing.
We did look over some Black and White photos, which were helpful, and discussed the capabilities of a Canon EOS 700 D which had been loaned to a member for evaluation.
We could not find out if it could take Black and White photos, but as it is quite sophisticated, we could not be absolutely sure.
In any event, the general consensus was that it would be better to use the RAW setting and process the shots on the computer using extra software.
As it happens, the same member’s old Lumix DMC-TZ6 was found to be quite capable of taking Black and White, and various other shades from sepia to ‘warm’ and ‘cool’ shots, which was a pleasant surprise.
There followed some interesting general discussions on focussing techniques for different conditions.
Because the next meeting is theoretically on the 1st of January, and there was some doubt about the powers of concentration of members on that day,
it was decided to skip that in favour of the 5th of February, when we will look at any photos, and especially festive season ones.
Merry Christmas, one and all, and a Happy New Year
See you all on the other side.
