Our last meeting
It was almost standing room only for our last share night. Well over 30 people turned up for the AGM - what a record!!!
Or maybe they were there for the macro / close up practical night. We had a great deal of fun playing around at the various tables set up with little items to capture under a myriad of different lights. Big thanks to Mike for giving the presentation and to Greg who helped prepare all the staging and lighting. Thanks guys.
