Adrian Cornwell delivered a “TTT” on “Multiple exposures”. He described briefly the way to do multiple exposures in camera and discussed the different merge modes available. He showed some examples of his work to illustrate the talk, and highlighted the importance of a good composition also for this type of images. Alun reminded the members present at the meeting that the photo project that will be presented in the February meeting will be on the theme of “double exposures”, so the information given in this meeting was particularly relevant for that project.
The rest of the meeting was dedicated to showing members’ photos, under the general theme “Summer vibes”. Eleven members showed their work, some in black and white and some in colour, with subjects ranging from moody views of the Alps to people in remote areas of Tajikistan. Almost all members who submitted photos for this meeting were present anc ould make a brief presentation of the work they were showing, as well as answer questions about it.
Alun then closed the meeting and thanked everyone for their participation, in paticular those who joined for the first time.

Alan Waldern delivered a “TTT” on “Learning resources”. He described his own evolution in photography and how he learned different aspects of it, from camera operation to composition and processing photos. He then described briefly the resources available, including manuals, magazines, web-based tutorials, training courses and participation in photo walks, workshops or organised photo trips. He concluded with a discussion on expectation management and how we all need to set our expectations according to the time we can invest in learning.
We then had a presentation by Anja Strelec, who briefly described her professional activities in videography and photography . She then showed examples of her personal work on street and minimalist photography. Having the possibility to travel extensively for work, she takes all opportunities to work also on personal projects, mainly doing street photography in parts of the world where that would normally not visit a tourist. She showed some of her photos from cities in Africa, Asia or America, as well as a series of photos taken in Brussels during the Covid pandemic and a short series of minimalist photos.
Anja concluded her presentation by mentioning her workshops and, in particular, the one she is organising for members of Viewfinders, on mobile phone photography.
Alun then closed the meeting and thanked everyone for their participation.

Erick Espinoza delivered a “TTT” on “Creating &completing your photography project”, and members will have the opportunity to present their personal projects at the June 2026 meeting. He clearly identified 4 phases of a project, highlighting the main points which contribute to a successful outcome.
The first guest speaker of the season was Daniel Rachamim. Daniel introduced his young life, growing up in an ultra-orthodox environment in Jerusalem and his need to get away from the constraints imposed by it. His photography covers many different genres, but his passion is for street photography, which permeates into his other work yielding a unique style. While most of his photography is in black & white, he showed several colour photos and explained the reasoning that guided his choice.
He concluded his very inspiring and enlightening presentation by inviting everyone to visit his current exhibition, at Studio 84, in Brussels. The exhibition opened recently and is on until 26 October.
Alun then closed the meeting, welcomed the many new members present and thanked everyone for their participation.
