Danehill and Chelwood Gate camera club evening

A great evening talking on my favourite subject, Photography!
A huge thank you to all the members of the Danehill Camera club for making me feel very welcome. Some great discussions reflections and challenging questions!
We covered Exposure, Auto override, Flash compensation, White balance, and the sometimes confusing topic of Raw files versus Tiffs.


How to achieve grain on your pictures was asked and I showed an example of grain applied to a picture using the Adobe picture software "Lightroom"
No grain adjustment to image except converting to B&W
Grain added in Lightroom.
here are the pictures again showing the difference and a screen shot of the Grain control in Lightroom
Grain amount,size and roughness can be controlled
