Digital photography seminars @ Calumet Nottingham. On Thurs 27TH.

Calumet Nottingham will be hosting two fantastic seminars, on Thursday 27th May.

  • 'Digital workflow the easy way' 9.30 to 12.30
  • 'Understanding RAW workflow' 1.30 to 4.30

The two seminars work well together - the afternoon following on well from the morning. However, the morning is aimed more at the beginner, maybe someone who has recently bought a DSLR, the afternoon builds on that or is aimed at someone who is a bit more established, but wants to exapnd their knowledge and imaging skills.

The tutor is the super-knowledgable Andy Johnson, who is a high end digital expert.

The seminar takes place at the Calumet Nottingham branch, 2 Nelson Street, NG1 1DR.

Priced at just £25 each, these are excellent value.

Don't delay, book today !

California Sunbounce Sun Swatter Pro Scrim starter Kit

This amazingly simple and portable shade resembles an oversized fly swatter and is used to ward off any unwanted—and often unflattering—direct sunlight from your outdoor subject. Whether held by hand or mounted to a stand, the nimble Sun-Swatter produces a softly muted and delicate daylight over your subject, producing beautifully diffused portraits or fashion shots

Gable Beck Flows by Mark Gilligan




Apparently a fantastic day was had by all at Cheltenham Festival this year. A chosen few won their place by merit and were taken to Cheltenham on Champion Hurdle Day to enjoy the delights of a fully hosted lunch and a fanstatic day of racing. Luckily the weather held and as you can see from the photographs, they did watch the horses, despite the lure of alcohol and food!! an excellent day out and certainly well deserved for all those who went, attached are some photos from Janesh who put his Nikon D300 skills to good use and took some awesome shots of the action. Lets hope there is a similar chance to go next year as it proved a very successful day, although I understand the winnings could have been better.......

Speaker Information:

John D McHugh

Afghanistan - The First Multimedia War

John D McHugh has just returned from Afghanistan (again). But this trip was different. McHugh explains “this was the first time that I was using the same camera to shoot my stills, my video, and record all my audio,” the camera, of course, was the EOS 5D Mark II.

“I have often carried more gear, more weight, on patrols than the soldiers I am reporting on,” says McHugh, “because I work in multimedia. I would have a couple of stills cameras around my neck, a video camera in one hand or on my shoulder, and an audio recorder in my other hand, or taped onto my helmet.” McHugh will show a selection of stills, video, and audio slideshows that he produced in February 2010 in Afghanistan, using only the EOS 5D Mark II. He will also talk about the benefits and challenges of using a single camera for all his work, he will share his thoughts on why he believes multimedia offers so many exciting possibilities to all photographers, not just photojournalists.

Byron Wijayawardena, Pro-Apps Product Specialist Apple (UK) Limited

Byron will be giving an Aperture 3 demo to show how photographers can use the new Slideshow tool with pictures and video as a storyboarding tool, or to create simple narratives using high quality imagery and video, all on Canon cameras of course, and Final Cut Studio Demo to show how you can take your projects to the next level.
