the following email was received by the Camera Club:
Good Afternoon,
I'm organizing the Celebrage Festival which runs from Sunday 5th to Sunday 12th October this year. The festival is designed to ensure that people aged 55 and over have opportunities to meet people, experience new things, develop new skills and above all, celebrate their age! The 2007 Celebrage Festival was a huge success attracting over 2,500 participants.
We are hoping to have two digital photgraphy workshops, being about 2 hours in length each. I am hoping a few people from your club may be interested in volunteering for such workshops.
The first being a very basic workshop looking at getting the most out of your camera and understanding the different functions (eg sport, macro, night settings). Last year we took 8 participants down to the breakwall and took photos of race horses along the beach, looked at where the sun and your subject are (shadows on faces etc), then went to the Botanic Gardens and took some macro shots of flowers. We then headed to David Owen photgraphy and had a walk thru behind the scenes. We would be looking to do somethng similiar again this year. It would be small group, with a maximum of 10 participants. I am open for any suggested changes (subject matter and venue etc).
The second workshop we are hoping to run was downloading photos of your camera and printing them. We have 5 computers at Archie Graham that particpants could hook their cameras upto and download photos. This may be a couple of 30 minute workshops.
At this stage we have pencilled the workshops for Monday 6th October, 9am-11am and again on Friday/Saturday.
If you have any members that may be interested in volunteering for these workshops, please do not hesitate to contact me using the details below.
I look forward to your reply.
Kind Regards,
Sally
