July 2024 Newsletter Summer has belatedly come, and the warm long days are very welcome…unless you are looking for sunrise and sunset shots. I’d guess that for lots of us good weather isn’t actually that conducive to the images we want to make, but it is good for getting lots of backgrounds and textures captured and led away. There are all the community events as well though, and that’s good for street or outdoor portraiture, and travelling to new places to explore those new shots. I guess most of us will be loaded down with families and other outside interests (gardens, golf, tennis and all those summery pursuits), so photo opportunities are tagged along with all of those. There are two upcoming spoil yourself Photo Days Oot though, one to Glasgow in July and one to Edinburgh in August, so head for the What’s On pages to see about them, or you can ask if your local volunteer has anything planned over the summer too. Or, maybe even organise one yourself? Help will be given on the logistics side, so feel free to step up. The Grampian bunch have been out and about again, in Stonehaven, and here is their latest e-zine: https://issuu.com/royalphotographicsociety/docs/ stonehaven_ezine Enjoy your Days.
