THE
PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY. 1920
| The membership of the
Society has increased this Term with a consequent greater attendance at the
meetings, which have been held regularly. The very practical nature of the
lectures has stimulated a keener interest than would have been roused had they
been confined more to the realm of theory. The majority of the lectures, which
have been held fortnightly, have been given with great lucidity by Mr. Broad.
The society was also very fortunate in securing last December the services of
Mr. Willcocks, the well-known local photographer, who gave a most interesting
lecture on "Exposure," and who will shortly give a demonstration on
"Enlarging." It would, perhaps, be of interest to append a list of the meetings
to date. They speak for themselves as regards veriety and interest.
1919 The second outing of the Society took
place on Monday, February 16th, the mid-term holiday, when the Forest between
the Waterworks and Higham's Park Lake was visited. The attendance would have
been greater had the weather in the early part of the morning been more favour
able. A slight fog prevailed, lifting later under a fairly strong winter sun,
and the photographers were busy until past one o'clock. The outing was quite a
success, and judging from the number of prints seen shortly afterwards, one
concludes that most members spent the remainder of the afternoon in the dark
room. |
