Simandi, B.Rollo, S.Mitchell, I.Donaldson, K.McLaren, G.Reekie, I.Copland.
Guest Speaker: Charlie McCartney
Graham introduced
Charlie who talked about his photos that he had on display for us, in the
Millhouse.
A lively quick hour passed, before the meeting moved through to
the dinning room, where we had an excellent Xmas Meal with all the usual
trimmings. Charlie then pronounced his verdicts on our Autumn Leaves
Competition, taking time to give his opinion along with mostly constructive
criticism about each individual club member's entry.
This proved to be a
very informative and enjoyable session as Charlie, using his prepared notes,
had 14 entries to judge. He announced joint winners of Graham Bowen & Gavin
Reekie. Both had chosen a forest scene with wonderful detail and colours and
well printed. Congratulations go to them. 
Charlie said
1) Take 2 minutes to look at
your picture before shooting.
2) Your camera position is all important and
use a tripod.
3) When cropping images use two L pieces of card to act as a
frame.
Graham Pirie thanked Charlie on behalf of the Club, making the
comment that he had already noticed an improvement from our 1st competition
entries and felt sure that would continue with all the help and tips that
Charlie had given us.
For those who missed it, a good night was had by all.
9 Entries have so far been received for "A Portrait" Competition.
Next meeting is Thursday 12th January and will be held at Brackland,
Bank Street, Cupar, the home of Bruce & Leslie Rollo @ 7pm.
The title
for the January Competition is "The Festive Spirit "and all photos should be
brought along on the 12th.
Finally a reminder to e-mail your Autumn
Leaves photo to Gavin and why not then check out your picture on the Web page.
Merry Xmas & A Happy Shooting New Year
