Jonatan Vanes - Life in the Blender
Blend modes are often talked about but what are they and what do they do. In this talk you will see what Post Processing blends modes can do and a practical use for them to help you improve your images, from simple halo removal to applying textures and producing soft images. But our many cameras also have the ability to blend images with Multiple Exposure blend modes. See how this is done and what very different results this gives.
Edited Lucky Dip Images to be returned

Getting it Right In Camera with “Richard Houghton”
The practical session is designed specifically to concentrate on taking photos to 'Get It Right In Camera'. It's split into two sections; the first session is an interactive discussion with the group of attendees to clarify the sort of things a photographer needs to consider BEFORE taking the image. This will also undoubtedly benefit the more experienced photographer in addition to the novice. The second half is devoted to putting the 'theory' into practice by having the attendees photographing a number of items I shall bring along for the session. Therefore, the attendees must bring along their camera with suitably charged battery and sufficient space on memory cards, plus a tripod, as they will be taking photos! I shall be available to provide assistance with camera settings, to answer questions and also additional guidance for those requiring it
