The Carnoustie 20/20
Thank you to everyone who endured my presentation on the plans for this years' image exchange with Carnoustie Photogroup. Each year, to date, we have swapped 20 images picked at random from competition entries, and the results have been interesting - but the PDI sized jpeg images leave little scope for creativity.

Judgement Day is nigh
The weeks seem to be flying by, and the judging of our first competition of the year is already upon us! We are delighted to welcome back Allan Gawthorpe LRPS EFIAP/s DPAGB from Aberdeen to the club. Allan has been a regular judge and speaker in the past, but hasn't been for a couple of seasons, so it will be great to hear his expert feedback and advice again. Allan has a lot of images to get through - so we'll aim to start sharp at 7:15. The last time Allan visited the clu
