• This month’s guest speaker, via ZOOM, was UK professional photographer Jane Lazenby, who spoke to The Club about Working With Textures With A Unique Twist.
Jane gave us tips on where to find our own textures, such as old stone, junk yards, abandoned buildings, in galleries and around the house. She suggested photographing these subjects using natural light at a focal distance of 50 mm.

She went on to show us several of her award winning, textured photographs, which we found to be absolutely stunning. From there, Jane showed us how to add a texture to an existing photo by using layers in Photoshop. The ease of her workflow left us all anxious to try our hand at creating our own images using her methods.

The Chatham Camera Club wishes to thank Jane for her time and talents.

We will also have the results of our January Photo Challenge, What I Shoot by Dave Richards and our monthly Print Display, where members are encouraged to bring in a print of any size, any subject for display and discussion.
