MEMBERS of Dumfries U3a were taken on a photographic journey by May speaker, David Moyes.
David is a keen amateur photographer, whose work has been exhibited internationally and who has also hosted solo exhibitions in Dumfries and Cumbria.
He is particularly interested in architectural photography and the tour of Dumfries started through his stylised photos of buildings often easily overlook.
This was followed with a visit to a number of local churches and then to the Solway coast, where David explained the different techniques he uses to achieve his stunning results.
He also went back in time, sharing images from a project he has been working on where archive photographs of Dumfries are melded with modern shots taken from exactly the same position as the original photographer.
Finally, he shared his latest work which will form an exhibition of portraits to support the Twelve Big Things fundraising project in aid of mental health charities. Members were extremely generous on the day and over £120 was donated to support this cause.
Also this month, the Ukulele Group had a fantastic afternoon playing at The Heathhall Community Centre Family Fun Day. It was a lovely afternoon in the sunshine with great company and a very appreciative audience. Members were delighted to be able to support the community and to raise awareness of u3a. They would like to thank
the community centre.
