We
have a print tutorial explaining in detail how to upload your photos to
Flickr so that they are only visible to BCC group members. You can
find this in our "Resources" area - look for the "Mainly
for Members" link.
If you use Lightroom to manage your images, you can find details of a
useful plug-in that lets upload to Flickr directly from Lightroom.
In "Resources" follow the "Lightroom" link. |

The
good news is that the YENRIC meeting went ahead yesterday evening and
those brave souls who made it had a great night. The bad news is
that we came last this time - it's a long time since that
happened. However, only 8 points separated the winners from us so
it was a very close run thing.
You can see how each of our images fared in the gallery pages. |

A
Happy New Year to all our readers.
We have a private Flickr group for BCC. If you wish to be
involved, you'll first need to register for Flickr (it's free!), then
drop us an e-mail when we will then send you an invitation to join the
private group.
This is a great opportunity for club members and friends to share and
learn.
If you need to "kick-start" your photography, you'll find some
great suggestions here: http://lightroomsecrets.com/2009/12/10-suggestions-for-2010/#more-1026

You
will (of course!) be giving some though to how to prepare your AV for
the meeting next May.
If you use Lightroom, there are some great resources available for image
preparation for a slideshow and a new tutorial is available to help you
with this.
Click on "Resources" and choose either "Lightroom"
or "Pictures to Exe".
If you're new to the club, or have been asleep, and don't know what
Pictures to Exe is, ask Roger Walton.
We could put on a special tutorial meeting for anyone who wishes it. |

We've
had the first YENRIC competition of the season. It was a tight
contest with total scores ranging from 106 to 115 points. We came
in joint second place (with Sherburn) on 113 points. The winning
club was Howden with 115.
There's a new gallery for this year's
YENRIC images where you can find out who did well
(and who didn't - your
correspondent for one!). |
