To accommodate the pantomime at John Godber Centre, we met a week early on the 12th January and we continued the photography theme.
Firstly we looked at an early method of producing a photographic image called Cyanotype.
All members of the group attending in February will be carrying out this process to make their own.  Here’s one I made earlier…..
Following on from this John Tedstone gave a presentation about a Victorian photographic pioneer named Julia Margaret Cameron who was one of the most important figures in early photography. Â She lived at Dimbola, on the Isle of Wight, in the 1860s. The photographs she created remain among the most famous images of many Victorian celebrities.
Finally we had a ‘slide show’ about Oxford and the science museums as a prelude to our visit on April 19th.
February Meeting: Friday 16th.
