Infinity Bridge event last weekend

Last Monday night three of us went over to Stockton to see what was happening at the Bridge. It was illuminated to celebrate its first anniversary. There were very few people there almostly wholly photographers and we stayed there most of the night. Here are a few sample photos.

There is a special photography evening on 1st June 2010 from 6.30pm to 9pm in Durham Cathedral.

Tickets are £10.00 per camera which will include a cup of tea or coffee from the Undercroft Restaurant. The restaurant will be open throughout the event for refreshments and light meals.

Weather permitting, the Tower will be open, though there is an additional charge of £5.00 for adults and £2.50 for children to climb the Tower.

No flash is permitted in the Cathedral but tripods are welcome.

Sharpening

I have found a very good article on sharpening with CS4 and Adobe Camera Raw. It is on the Members' Only page of the club website.

PAGB News

The latest edition of PAGB News is on the Notice Board page of the club website.  It includes details of a photographic holiday in Turkey, which looks very interesting.  Details also of an extra PAGB Awards assessment day to be held in December 2010.  There was an 18 month waiting list for anybody wanting to take part so this is a welcome addition.
