PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB For those of you who are interested in improving your photography skills, or just asking questions this is a unique opportunity. The invitation is to all residents at both SwanCare and Rowethorpe. Recently several of those attending, raised questions about the easiest way to transfer their images from a mobile phone, tablets, or iPad to a computer. If this is one of your questions please feel free to join us anytime and ask Chris, Peter or Jim for guidance. Or, you are thinking about a holiday in the outback, talk to Adrian. Jim will be giving a few tutorials next month on how best to turn your holiday photos into an excellent Photobook presentation (very useful instead of losing everything when your computer has a CRASH!) and discussing ideas for the upcoming Bentley Park Show.
