Ian's second visit to NDPS proved as well received as his first.
Here was a computer engineer, someone who has spent a lifetime working on the 'inside' of computers talking to a group of, mostly, amateur enthusiast photographers. A recipe for disaster, a geek talking to the uninitiated! But no. This was not the case at all, Ian's encyclopaedic knowledge of his subject and his ability to make difficult concepts understandable left us all sagely nodding and muttering phrases like 'Yes, of course', 'Got it', 'Ah, so that's how I do it'.
In a presentation clearly divided into two halves, the theory and the practical, Ian showed us how he converts his photos into monochrome. Everyone learned something, even those who are regular users of the software he described.
Perhaps the most telling remark was from an NDPS member who uttered 'Humbling!' at the end of the evening.
Thanks Ian for your knowledge, clarity and enthusiasm. You'll be back!
