Camera Workshop. Saturday 26th October.
Our recent workshop on composition and aspect ratio went very well. We had the opportunity to meet some new members and will be following this up with a workshop on post production.
Here are some of the amazing images sent in so far. Any Wifie member who would like to include their images please send them in and we'll add them to the website.

Exhibition Visit. Saturday 30th November.
“Ahead of her time on every level this mother of four still held her camera close like a companion, she captures the world around her through her eyes and this can be seen on the walls around the exhibition".
We have arranged to go to the Kelvingrove in Glasgow to see this exhibition by Linda McCartney. This will be a really interesting exhibition and one that I am sure will inspire many of us to do some work for the Wife website. All members welcome.

Street Photography Workshop
In August Wifie members went out on the streets to capture the festival city - Edinburgh with the magic of street performance and lots & lots of people. For some of us this was a completely new experience whilst for others, it was an area of photography that they love. Click on the image to see more

Water /Puddleography
Wet days offer so much scope to try out different ways of taking photos, the vibrancy and reflections you can find as well as trying some 'puddleography'. Members were recently invited to submit photos on the theme of water and /or puddleography and this invitation is still open. Click on the image to see more

Abstract Photography
This year's annual picnic at Redhall Walled Garden was very successful and couldn't have been in a better location. The theme we chose to explore was 'Abstract Photography', which gave us all a lot of scope to be creative in our own particular way. Click on the image to see more

In The Spotlight
At WIFIE we believe that photography is for everyone., no matter your taste, age, ability or experience. We don't all have to like the same things and we all experience photographs differently. In this section we showcase individual members to dig into what they love about photography and allow them to share some of their favourite photographs.
While we wait for our next 'In the Spotlight' here is a taster of those who have gone before.

Darkroom facilities
The darkroom that we were setting up at the Arts Complex is no longer available. We will be continuing to try and source darkroom facilities for the future to run workshops and offer traditional printing opportunities. Please get in touch with Wifie if you know of any community darkrooms that we could access. Thank you.
