Atherton & District Amateur Photographic Society

We have come to the end of our Saturday meetings hosted by Committee members.

Big John started us off with his talk on photography, then Keith with his creative pictures, then Andy with Macro teach in,
followed with Mel's Muscle Men and last Saturday with Alan's lovely Granddaughter.

So now they are scraping the barrel and you have me (if you want me) doing my turn on the treadmill. My chosen subject (well
John's actually - blame him) is Wedding Photography. As usual a 10 am start so if you are interested please come along.

Cheers

Michael

count me in for that one
Chris

We shall be there.

Guess I'll cancel the two nude models I had lined up then for my stint...

(save them for another time)

There will be more!

But in the meantime this is the man of the moment:

Hi again

This is what happens when you let Big John use you to test exposure/lighting. Never trust a photographer.
He promised to get rid of my wrinkles in Photoshop - damned liar Lol.

Attached rather more important images than the one of me.

Yes - I'll be there Mike - looking forward to it.

Cheers, Mel.

O.K. Folks

The clock is ticking and I have just about 24 hours to go before I do tomorrow's presentation (or to leave the country).

Am hoping that there will be an opportunity to take some pictures so you can bring your cameras BUT this will not be
a photoshoot as you know it. Just some poses with a Bride and Groom etc. probably outside with the dustbins if the weather
holds good.

So, hope to see you there.

Paul - as you pointed out earlier this is probably not the last event but just the last in this series.
If you want to bring along a couple of nude models then please do. Would probably have more volunteers
to be the Bridegroom and Best Men don't you think?

Ahh, I was just teasing Mike...
I'm sure your presentation will be excellent.

And it was excellent, so many thanks for all the effort you put into it Mike.

There was some practical shooting after the presentation and I made a few images to show what was going on.
Charlotte plays groom and Beth plays bride to practice getting the exposure right from black to white.
A keen group of ADAPS members in action.
Mike demonstrates poses with Beth as model.
Sue waits her turn to be in front of the cameras.

Well now that it's done and dusted I hope that everybody who turned up had their money's worth. It seemed to go pretty well but
must admit that I am well and truly 'Jacobbed' (cream crackered) and was asleep just after lunch.

Lots of thanks to everybody who contributed and thanks for your comments John.

I can now concentrate on the real thing and get ready for my Wedding next week.

Cheers Michael

Well it happened and I'm now trying to recover and do the necessary on some 300 pictures or more.

Taken from a five rung stepladder on the 4th step. Not bad for an old fogey with vertigo.
