Club Meeting "Editing Challenge" - Tuesday 31st March

                  

On Tuesday 31st March Morpeth Camera Club members met to view images which had been submitted into the clubs’ Editing Challenge which was led by our Print Secretary and IT specialist, Glyn Trueman.
Glyn’s brief was to edit up to five supplied images and to talk about what changes had been made, from basic alterations to more complex techniques. For those participating, this was a chance for them to use our imaginations, to experiment and perhaps to try and learn new editing skills. 

The set images were a young flautist, a reenacted seamstress, a Swaledale landscape, the Canary Wharf Crossrail Rainbow Wrap, kitchen utensils, Worcester Cathedral Chapter House, St Pauls’ dome, a view from Lindisfarne and a knitting still life.  

                  
There was an array of editing styles; moving objects, collage, cloning out, replacing skies and combining elements from more than one of the supplied images. Cropping, kaleidoscope effect, replication of subject, pixilation, swirl filters, use of layer masks, vignetting and fish eye distortion were included, all with the aim of creating something different. Some authors had used photo editing tools such as Photoshop, Nik Silver Effects and Topaz.
                  
Club Chairman, Jeremy Cooper thanked Glyn for organising the challenge and for the time spent by Karin Jackson, Jeremy Cooper, Trevor Langhorne, Dave Bisset, Peter Downs, Martin Goble, John Thompson, Paul Appleby, David Moore and Glyn Trueman who all displayed a variety of skills, talent and imagination.
