The Project Groups initiative is to get
members out and about and take photographs. For all the latest news on the Project Groups see Newsletter page. The following groups are available at the moment, but if you would like any other groups to be considered please see a member of the committee and we will see what we can do:- |

Audio Visual Group -
TREVOR
BARLOW

We are a relatively new group in comparison to some of the club’s other project groups. We formed when it was recognised that a few club members were either involved or interested in producing audio-visual presentations. ‘Seasoned campaigners’ had been creating ‘tape-slide’ AV shows for many years and were able to bring that experience to the group. Others, like me, had developed an interest as a consequence of the introduction of digital photography and digital sound. For my own part I became interested in AV as a result of seeing some of the work done by Barry Beckham. I then ‘had a go’ at producing an AV show. I was pleasantly surprised to find how easy it was to produce an AV show using relatively cheap (but very good) digital software. With no disrespect to any member of the group I think it is fair to say that we are all still learning to master both the science and the art of AV. A ‘resident expert’ would be very useful but between us we do muster-up a fair breadth and depth of knowledge for those seeking to learn more about AV work. It is what is brought to the table at each meeting by every group member that ensures we all go away with a bit more knowledge than we might otherwise have gained. I have been pleasantly surprised to find that many images used in an AV show may not individually be ‘prize winners’ in their own right but when combined thoughtfully and effectively with other images they can produce very pleasing presentations, especially when combined with some well-chosen piece of music. We are not a large group in comparison to other project groups but as they say, ‘Precious things come in small packages!’ If you are interested in finding out about the AV project group why not come along to one of our meetings at Wrelton. |
