What is it?

·         A workshop for a maximum of 15 attendees, run by Maldon Camera Club, and intended for anyone who has access to a digital camera and wishes to improve the quality of the images they take.

·         No particular skill level is assumed, and in fact beginners are particularly welcome.

·         Based at the Friends Meeting House in Butt Lane.

·         The morning will consist of practical image taking around Maldon.

·         The afternoon will be devoted to simple computer techniques for improving these images.

·         Computers and digital projection equipment will be provided. Just bring a camera.

What kind of digital camera?

·         Any compact, bridge or digital SLR.

·         It helps if the camera is capable of manual adjustment but it is not essential.

·         The camera should have a removable memory card.

·         Not a camera phone, as in general they do not provide sufficient quality or control.
