A starter pack for camera club photography:  How to enter competitions, how to get your images to appear the same on the projector as they did at home. Adding Keylines. Easy and cheap options for printing and mounting photos for competitions. What judges look for and more...

This talk is designed for beginners and intermediate workers and of course does work for advanced workers as well who are looking to improve their photography or broaden their photography into different genres.

 The talk provides some quick tips and tricks that will have an immediate impact on your captured images as well as covering some of the most common genres, how to approach them, what "good" looks like and what equipment you might need to capture them.

 The talk also covers one of the more important aspects that can improve your photography by moving from grazing to planning.
