Creativity Night. . .

Yes its Creativity night at WCC - Have you been creative with photoshop, or just photographically?

YES, then bring along up to five images on your USB drives and show your work - you will also have to say a few words on the techniques used to make the images.

I'm sure that we will have a few surprise's and a good night too, newer members could simply bring a few images to show and perhaps get a few pointers.
