1. Travel Photography – Friday 1st February
Our Travel Master Mark Scherz will be giving a talk about his experience as a travel photographer this Friday in the Ochil Room at Pleasance from 8pm! Each year, Mark spends a couple of months in Madagascar and comes back with stunning photos of local landscapes, wildlife and locals. Mark will be going over some of the “do”s and “don’t”s of travel photography as well as discussing some of his biggest influences in the field. If you’re looking to go abroad this year and get those stunning local shots, this is not one to be missed!

3. Darkrooms
Darkrooms are up and running in full, so those of you who have had tutorials, feel free to develop to your heart’s content! Please remember if you are using the enlargers (Pleasance or Kings) to switch them off at the plug after use. We had an issue with over heating recently that caused the Bulb to blow, so remembering to switch them off means everyone can use them without a hitch. If you are still looking to have a tutorial send us a new email with the subject “Darkroom Pleasance” or “Darkroom KB” and one of our tutors will get back to you and arrange a session to get your access card!
4. Rentals
The society has a large range of equipment available to rent for free by our members, including a range of film/digital SLR cameras, lighting equipment and lenses.
To see what we have to offer have a look at: http://www.photosoc.com/facilities/rentals/
Send an e-mail with ‘Rentals’ in the subject and we’ll get back to you!
5. The PhotoShop
Our lovely photosoc shop has now been restocked, so we now have a nice fresh stock of film and paper for sale at great prices! Simply come along to one of our meetings, let us know what you’re after and either myself or our Treasurer Alex will sort you out!
