Visiting speaker Derek Doar has been involved in photography for over 35 years, printing both Black & White and Colour.

He explained to the club how he watched with interest the introduction of both Digital film scanners and Digital cameras, and decided that this could be the way forward,.

On first starting out in with Digital Photography, Derek encountered two main problems, a true black was difficult to attain when printing, and highlights were often burnt out.  This spurred Derek on in pursuit of his first goal, which was to print a good quality A3 size print. 

On previous occasions, Colin New had visited the club presenting his images of nudes and flowers. Tonight however he was going to do something a little different – show us his holiday snaps. Luckily they were of his recent sub-Antarctic sightseeing tour of Antarctica and the Falkland Islands.

The journey started for Colin at Buenos Aries, where the main tourist attraction strangely enough, turned out to be the cemetery.
