Higham & Rushden U3A Photography Group - Leader Mick Aldridge
                      The Digital Photography Group meets fortnightly on a Wednesday morning from 10.00 to 12.00 at Rushden St Peter’s RC Church Hall. 
 
                      We are a friendly and lively group which readily welcomes new members. We range from beginners to very knowledgeable photographers.
                      One thing we all find is that there is always something new to be learned.
                      
Our group uses a range of cameras from small compact to the DSLR.  Over the past year we have covered many aspects of photography.  We  have had speakers, sessions on using the camera- aperture, shutter speeds, ISO, depth of field etc.  We have covered transferring to the computer, image enhancing and using photoshop and picasa.

                      We also have field trips. (See link page for photographs)

                      Although we have a leader, some of the sessions are lead by other members who are keen to pass on their knowledge to us.
                      


                       
Recently a project was Alphabet soup.  We each took a letter out of a hat and we had to produce a photograph (out of the box thinking we were told!) for others to guess the letter.  Out of the box?    Well ............
