Members of the Mid Ulster Photography Club have been busy over the summer putting together an exhibition of their work which goes on display at the Meadowlane Shopping Centre in Magherafelt from 8th -11th September.

Images in the exhibition cover many genres of photography including landscapes, seascapes, the natural world, wildlife, macro etc. The exhibition which runs from 8th -11th September will be open from 2.00-5.00pm each day, staying open until 8.00pm on Thursday & Friday evening, and all day Saturday.

Schedule Change

There will be a change of plan for our next meeting (17th November) as unfortunately OnOne are not able to make it over to demonstrate their plug in software.

We will, however be keeping to the software theme as thankfully our very own Ciaran is stepping in to help us out and will be demonstrating “Adobe Photoshop Lightroom” for beginners. The meeting will be the usual time and place.
