Hi Members,

We hope everyone is staying safe and sound during the current restrictions. We have enjoyed seeing everyone online at our club events and as Tom mentioned in his post the turnout has been very good.

I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce you to a new function which has been added to the Club website recently called Critique Corner. Quite simply, Critique Corner enables you to submit a photo online for review and assistance by other members in our club. This is a good way of enabling constructive feedback by others on your images which you may want to enter into a competition or simply see how it might be improved.

You may have seen me submit a photo last month using this function, and I received many helpful and thoughtful tips on how I could improve the image. Thanks again to all of you who commented. The collective knowledge in the club is something worth tapping in to!

The function is available within the Members menu option on the right side of the home page after you have logged in. You’ll see the blue Critique Corner button towards the top of the screen. In the following screen select the green button to the right to add or amend entries. When you upload a photo it is worth adding some text to indicate what sort of help you would like with the photo.

Note that Critique Corner is independent of any of our competitions. When someone comments you’ll receive an email notification.

Also, it is important to help others too so I would encourage you to login and where possible provide others with feedback requested on their images. This is how everyone improves their photography. For those of you not aware, you can also comment on photos in our competitions once they have been published so I would encourage members to have a go at this too!

Best,

Dave
