FOCUS Newsletter - Autumn 2008 - Edition 21  Page 1

Well summer is nearly over, if it ever arrived, and a new season is nearly upon us! As is traditional at the first meeting of a new season, along with all the wonderful holiday images, print, slide, digital and av? we shall be enjoying some wine, nibbles and paying of subs - oh yes Jane tells me they are now due!

You should have received an e-mail with copies of the programme and tea rota attached - useful backups for reference if you misplace your copy or forget to look at the notice-board for your dates. Printed versions of the programme will, of course, be available on club nights.

I think we can make this new season every bit as successful as the last few, we certainly have the talent and I am sure Len will be borrowing a lot during the season, so we must not let him down!

Best regards

Andrew Deaville

EV (Exposure Value) simply applied
In David Bailey's book entitled 'Begin with Bailey', he describes a simple explanation of the use of the EV scale (Exposure value) and bases his example on an assumed ISO speed of 100.

In this system numbers are applied to both the standard apertures and shutter speeds in accordance with the table below.
