My thanks to Canna for her impromptu talk about LED lighting. It's quite amazing that she just happened to have all that equipment in her car. Our Members' Evening on 21 January will feature portraiture and Canna has offered to bring along some LED lighting equipment for us all to try. It is still relatively expensive for amateur use, but is being widely adopted by professionals both for still photography and video. Prices are dropping, so who knows, we might all be using it one day. Kirk Tuck, a professional photographer based in Austin, Texas, was one of the first to utilise LED illumination for his work and has written a book on the subject. The first of many by different authors, no doubt.

* The other time was the non appearance of the judge at the SLF mono print competition two days previously. The night before I had presented at another club, the only occasion for me this week when the speaker turned up.
