September 2009
ADAPS was granted permission to take photographs inside Dam House, Astley -
the former Astley Hospital administration building, a Grade II listed building
which dates back to 1595. We took a couple of female models along to make the
most of this unusual location.
August 2009
Our annual open 'Photography Night' was a storming success. We threw open our
doors and invited anyone from the local community with an interest in photography
to come along and meet us and find out about joining us. The evening featured
digital photography tips, advice on taking better photos, a display of our latest
images, as well as free drinks and buffet. We were pleased to welcome over a
dozen new visitors, several of whom will be back next week to join us.
Our series of photography trips continued with an evening of photography savouring
the architectural splendour of Manchester Town Hall.
July 2009
ADAPS visited Manchester's famous Victoria Baths again this month for another
location model photoshoot. We last visited two years ago and were impressed
with the many photo opportunities. Many thanks to our models for another enjoyable
shoot.
ADAPS members went out and about with our cameras again and enjoyed a leisurely
photographic ramble around Rivington, with plenty of landscape photography help
on hand for our beginners.
June 2009
ADAPS photographers were very kindly invited to an evening photoshoot in the
Air and Space Hall at Manchester's Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI).

March 2009
ADAPS held two studio portrait photography sessions to help those interested
in studio work improve their skills - Friday 6th March and 13th March.
Several members have expressed an interest in some form of mentoring group to
help them attain photographic distinctions. In ADAPS, Des and Myra Barr and
Bert Haddock have already achieved the CPAGB (Credit with the Photographic Alliance
of Great Britain). John Riley held the first meeting of the 'ADAPS CPAGB/DPAGB
Mentoring Group' on Friday 27th March. See John's message on the ADAPS Forum
or ask him for more information.
January 2009
ADAPS member Phil Boak held a workshop on Saturday 24th January for those interested
in learning more about flash lighting and the use of flashguns. The workshop
examined different lighting and creative photography techniques.
January again meant the ADAPS Annual Post-Christmas Meal. Around 60 members
and partners enjoyed themselves at the Greyhound Hotel, Leigh, again. The Post-Christmas
Meal has long been an ADAPS tradition and is always a popular social event.
