What do we all look like?
Having all gone virtual we miss the personal interaction and sometimes it’s difficult to fit a face to a name?
We have 5 new entries to the Mug's Gallery this week.
We have finally got to present the way forward on this idea. Please check out the page at https://www.offshoot.ie/our-members/.
We invite all that have not previously submitted an entry to complete the form at the bottom of the page and add your mug to the gallery. (If you choose to keep your details and image private it will require the members to be logged in to see them.)
Learn With Me (LWM)
In our recent survey, some members expressed an interest in learning basic camera settings and now is your chance.
It is proposed to run a couple of short interactive sessions for those who shoot in AUTO because they are unsure how to or why to use other settings. There will be a blend of theory and practice – and no question will remain unanswered no matter how basic!
If you think you would benefit from such a session, please contact David Sisk (lwm@offshoot.ie) to arrange some dates to suit. Because of the interactive nature of the proposed sessions, it will be necessary to keep numbers low, but we will do our best to fit everyone in.
LIPF Preparation
Over the past months, several OffShoot members have been preparing panels with the aim of applying for a LIPF Distinction whenever applications reopen. Deirdre Irwin organised and set up three Zoom sessions to advise applicants of the processes involved in producing a successful panel and the key requirements that judges look for.
Steve Crozier gave an excellent Zoom presentation on preparing images and a Panel for printing. Steve emphasised the importance of having a coherent set of images that ‘worked’ as a Panel.
Over two Zoom sessions Michael O’Sullivan commented in detail on more than 200 images sent to him for critique, advice and recommendations. He was very patient and so generous with his time and advice.
Of course, none of this would have happened without Deirdre’s considerable organisation skills in arranging and hosting all the Zoom sessions. All the participants owe a considerable debt of gratitude to all three of the above.
