Jive Night Gallery
We had a fantastic fun evening last night taking photos of the Jive Club members during one of their Jive sessions and those who attended will no doubt have many wonderful photographs. A big thank you to Steve Springett, Steve Scholey and Ally for setting up the lights. When organising this session we agreed with the Jive group that we would share images taken with them, for their club and members. Many of you will have obtained the contact details of some of the people you photographed, with the intention of sending them copies, but there will be others whose details you do not have. Steve Springett is going to set up a page on our new club website that the Jive Club and its members will be able to access. So please send copies of your images that you are willing to share, to Steve’s email address, proaudiosteve@gmail.com Your images need to be “sized” in the usual format of no larger than 1600 pxl landscape or 1200 pxl portrait. If you have promised to send copies of your images to individuals, please honour that promise but also send a copy of your image to Steve for inclusion on the page. The gallery can be viewd at http://pontefractcameraclub.co.uk/jive/
