Digital Group

 

South Shields Photographic Society Digital Group


The South Shields Digital Group is a friendly bunch of photo enthusiasts who come together every fortnight to learn the ins and outs of digital photography.  We have over 50 members and the meetings cover all aspects of digital photography - the syllabus coming directly from the members needs. We show how to use your camera, how to save your images onto your computer, and what to do with them once they’re on there!
The group has been learning both basic and advanced Photoshop techniques, how to make a slideshow with music and how to get prints which you can be proud of. There is no need to have ‘fancy’ equipment and complete novices as well as advanced Photoshop users are catered for. There’s even tea and biscuits!

There is no long term commitment and you don’t have to be a member of the Society to attend- a nominal charge of £1 per member per meeting to cover the hire of the hall, teabags etc. is all we ask.
Over the summer we arrange a dozen or so visits to local places of interest which helps members to understand their camera better and, in turn, hopefully improve their pictures.  We also run a couple of coach trips per year to places further afield and have just returned from a 1940’s weekend in Haworth, Yorkshire.

If this sounds good to you then come along to a DigitalGroup night every other Wednesday at 7pm till approximately 9pm at St Michael’s and All Angels Parish church at the junction of Mowbray Road and Westoe Road, South Shields. See you there!
