Whitwick & District U3A - Digital Photography Group

Objective

To show members how to deal with all aspects of digital photography, from taking pictures, putting them onto a computer, sorting them into files and folders, backing them up, to improving them through various editing techniques. The group also looks at printing and scanning and an introduction to creating slideshows and DVDs.

Venue

On-line

Timing

The Group has decided to limit activities to on-line, except for the occasional outdoor photography session and meetings to discuss particular issues. Themes will still be set on an approximately monthly basis for members to remain active with their cameras.

Theme

A new theme of "Bridges" will run until the end of June
