Critique evenings:

Bring print and digital images. The set subject will be followed by an open section on any subject of your choice. Maximum of 3 digital images and 3 prints. However, if you would like to put in prints only you may bring up to 6. However, this does not apply to digital images (only 3 please). When putting in digital images please prefix the name of your files with your own name ie (FSmithS01 - for F Smith Set Subject 1, and FSmith01 for open subject). This makes it much easier if we would like to put them on the web and need to ask your permission. Thank you.
