Digital pictures The speaker at Chat burn Methodist Church's Network meeting was Mr Mark Sleet, of Waddington.
Mrs Giles presided and Miss Bowker was the pianist.
After the opening devotions, Mrs Giles introduced the speak er. Mr Sleet had taken his digital cam era and took a photo graph of the people there and showed it round. He explained that he had been interested in photog raphy as a boy and had developed and printed his own pho tographs.
The digital camera could do so much more than an ordi nary camera and pro duce better results. He showed an excel lent photograph of a grasshopper sitting on a stone, which he took quickly, so had short exposure to light. Another photo graph taken at night showed street lights and a longer expo sure.
Mrs Giles thanked the speaker for a most interesting talk. After the final hymn and the Grace, tea and cakes were served.
