Atherton & District Amateur Photographic Society

Tonights evening was very enjoyable and demonstrated yet again the breadth and scope of our photography at Atherton. Whatever our chosen topic or subject, the methods used to present it for pleasure or competition, we excell in showing the best side of our chosen hobby. I enjoy my photography, I enj...

Happy New year to all from me and Pammie; hope that 2012 brings you all you wish

Winter Ride - Rivington January 2011 - a very cold and frosty morning with the sunshine streaming through the trees; just had to wait for that bicycle rider to get into position and hey presto

Well done Ann and keep up the good work!!

I have now used both Windows movie maker and Pictures to EXE and there are merits in using both depending on the intended audience and end product i.e. slideshow for the club or competition or DVD. It is relatively easy to produce a simple AV in minutes but have learned already that 'keep it simple'...

Was really brilliant tonight to spend some time with friends and get in the mood for Christmas after what has been a hectic few months in our club calendar. Good food, great music, and excellent conversation with those who matter most to us. Wishing everyone a peaceful Christmas and a thought for th...

Ohhhhh I can't wait - hopefully will be a brilliant evening and we can kick off our AV group good n proper. Having seen some of the competition out there in the AV world, I think we could knock spots off em. Come on everybody have a go even if you have never done one before, if anybody needs help pl...

I have put more of my AV work up on my YOUTUBE channel - alianuk50; just click on the video above and then my name to see all my other postings; thank you for your kind comments and for watching - will be back with more in 2012

A Merry Christmas to everyone at ADAPS from Ian & Pammie - watch out for more travels next year !!

For those who missed the Ian & Pammie travels show, I have uploaded the AV of the model shoot at Astley Colliery Museum to YOUTUBE. Comments welcome please. This was made using windows movie maker as opposed to Pictures to Exe but the principles are the same. I would be very happy to pass on wha...

Yet again another fabulously entertaining evening; especially for me because of the skilful use of AV's, which enhanced the viewing with audio and musical feedback and provided an all round informative subject. I know I always say the speaker inspires me, and I do not particularly see myself up to m...

Managed to download this amazing book eventually after several attempts; but it was worth waiting for in the end; many thanks to Theo for the heads up on this one some stunning photographs, techniques (should I ever venture into the wild with my camera), and general info on the authors travels.

Even worse John is that in the future we may well have a brain - photoshop interface which directly links our thoughts to imagery, our dreams and our innermost secrets, then we will question our own sanity and what is real. Some of us already seem to have that link lol (in my case it is the medicati...

Really enjoyed last nights presentation by David and his mono work is very inspiring as always. There were a lot of stunning views which were enhanced by his use of B&W and infra-red film and we would all love to travel to see some of those breathtaking views.

Comments please on this simulated old B&W Polaroid picture of the Liver Building
