You can also use the link above to check out the page on the official website where the Founder and Organiser, Dave Cross, chats with each of us instructors for a couple of minutes about the classes we'll be presenting; ALWAYS more to learn
On Saturday 18th November at 4pm UK I'm presenting online for The Royal Photographic Society’s Digital Imaging Group ... "Practical Retouching Techniques for Photographers using AI"
This event is for members and non-members with a nominal fee of £3
From the description …
“Join us for this session as Photographer, Educator and Author Glyn Dewis, gets us up-to-speed with the latest technological advances from Adobe focusing mainly on Artificial intelligence. In addition to creative uses, Glyn will show how Artificial Intelligence in the form of Photoshop’s Remove Tool and Generative Fill can be incredibly useful in helping us carry out challenging and time consuming tasks, which in turn leaves us with more time to be creative. Of course A.I. has its limitations but there are also times when it is NOT the right tool for the job; the reasons though, might surprise you.”
This event is for members and non-members with a nominal fee of £3 ; hope to see you there 😃
I remember when Scott Kelby first launched his Annual Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk back in August 2008 but I can’t for the life of me think where the past 15 years have gone 😳
I lead a number of the photo walks over the years in locations such as Windsor, Brighton, Stratford-upon-Avon and Lichfield and have great memories of each one and friendships that remain to this day.
For one reason or another I’ve not been able to particiapte in the World Wide Photo Walk for a few years now, but this year on Saturday 7th October, I will be … not leading a walk though, but as a particiapnt and I can’t wait.
I’m signed up for a World Wide Photo Walk being led by my great friend Anthony Crothers (his first) which is being held in and around the stunning Cardiff Bay in the City of Cardiff, South Wales.
Knowing how good these get-togethers are with groups of people all with an interest in photography be it with a DSLR, Mirrorless or Mobile Phone (which I will be using) , I cannot wait, and with Anthony living just a short drive away, you can guarantee the route he’s organised will bring some fantastic opportunities.
Each World Wide Photo Walk Leader / Organiser creates a dedicated page on the main WWPW website giving detials of date, meet up time and location, end time and location plus any other information to keep everyone informed, and knowing Anthony as I do, he’ll leave notihng to chance to ensure that everyone has the best time possible.
To join us in Cardiff Bay for some photography and social, just tap / click on the button below where you can read more information and claim your spot.
Joining a Photo Walk is completely free but sapces at each are limited to 30.
Hope to see you there 😃

50+ Hours of Photoshop , Lightroom and Photography Loveliness 😃
Last Friday (16th June) I was at the Wales and West Photography Show, held at the International Convention Centre in South. Wales, presneting on behalf of Permajet …
This was the 2nd year of the show, and my first time being there and loved every minute! Such a great venue and so well organised with a great hall of vendors, stands and stage / presentation area.
Nothing was too much trouble. Smiling faces an d helpful staff from. the Camera Centre UK but also from staff at the Convention Centre. There was always someone noticing if you were ok or not, maybe needed pointing in the right direction and so on. Also outside, a great refreshements area.
My talk / presentation was going thorugh how to get “Perfect Prints” so taking folks through how to correctly calibrate their displays and also explaining what certain settings mean, what settings to use in your printing software (Lightroom, Photoshop etc) and then paper choice.
This was a brand new presentation I’d put together for the show including the new Palette Master Ultimate Software from BenQ, which allowed me to go through settings clearly and that translated into other calibration software. Feedback after and since has been wonderful, so thank you if you were there!
Thank you to my friend Steve Healy for grabbinh these shots during my presentation
Thanks once again to Permajet, in particular Adam Hinchcliffe who not only was working incredibly hard on the stand but sorted everything out so that on the day I literally had nothing to think about other than my presentation. Also, Abi Symons who had done a fantastic job printing out some of my images on various papers, so that they could be on display on the stand over the 3 days and folks there could cleasrly see the benefits of certain paper types.)
If this was just the 2nd year of the Wales and West Photography Show then I can’t wait for next year. It’s definitely one to add into the diary!
