The pics from the Ma Wan Outing organised on the first of May are up in the gallery! Some stunning shots from what most certainly won’t be around for much longer.

Thanks again to K.C. a spending a Monday evening with us and presenting his Creative Back Light Workshop. It was very good and much appreciated.  A new technique for many of us and some results are up next:

Switzerland-based Corinne Vionnet is our guide to the world’s most famous landmarks, monuments millions have visited before. Her art is created not by acrylic, oil, or watercolor, each piece is made by combining hundreds of tourist photos into one. After conducting an online keyword search and sifting through photo sharing sites, this Swiss/French artist carefully layers 200 to 300 photos on top of one another until she gets her desired result.
