Friends of Quarry Park November 2020 Last month saw the Friends of Quarry Park have two reasons to celebrate. On 12 October they met staff outside the Co-op at Dunscroft for a socially distanced presentation of the cheque from the Co-op Community Fund. This has been used to buy new protective clothing and tools for the growing number of volunteers. This was very gratefully received, staff involved from the Co-op were thanked for their support and help. Wednesday 14 saw a small contingent meet on a breezy afternoon on Quarry Park to be presented with the Keep Britain Tidy Green Flag Award for the fourth time. A great achievement and a joint effort between DMBC staff, Friends of Quarry Park volunteers and other supporters of the Park who help to keep it to such a high standard. The flagpole was reinstated just in time after being vandalised and the Flag is flying proudly again over the Park. Unfortunately, there have been more incidents of vandalism this week with a wheely bin being set on fire on top of one of the picnic benches, resulting in the table top being very badly damaged, the bench seat was later destroyed. Bottles were also broken and scattered around in the sand of the children’s play area. Thanks to two early morning dog walkers who helped to clear it up to prevent any children being hurt. If you have any information on this, or any other incident of vandalism, please report it to the Police on 101 or Doncaster Council on 736000. As we move into a second lockdown due to Covid 19 it is expected that visitor numbers may increase again on Quarry Park. It is hoped that everyone will enjoy their visit, and experience all the park has to offer, whilst continuing to maintain social distancing for the safety of all. Dog owners are advised to keep their dogs under close control and if they do not have good recall to keep them on a lead to avoid any unfortunate confrontations. Under the Public Space Protection Order all dog walkers should carry the means to pick up after their dogs and should use the bins provided. This also applies to other litter, visitors are requested to either use a bin or take it home. The Lockdown also means that the next Volunteer Work Party planned for Friday 4 November will not now go ahead. A decision on the December date will be taken nearer the time and publicised in the Noticeboards and on Facebook.

Members’ Views at Thorne Camera Club Camera Club members are all interested in Photography, but their area of interest varies. Jackie, who has been a member for the past seven years says ‘ Here are a few pics from my Underwater Photography. This is a relaxing pastime, you don't have to be a diver, or have expensive cameras. Snorkelling is so easy and relaxing. In the Indian Ocean thousands of colourful fishes, like shark, turtle, and eagle ray, pass you by, or are curious enough to come to swim with you. I use a simple point and shoot waterproof Sony DCS-TX20 camera, with no complicated settings to think about. I now possess DLSR cameras and several lenses and still learning with advice from judges and other members. With photography you always have memories to look back on, and see how much your photography has changed and improved.
Malcolm, a relatively new member, tells us ‘Tales From The Darkroom’ after a club outing. ‘The Aircraft Museum is packed so I used my ultrawide 20mm lens as I didn’t want to lug a tripod about. I can reasonably expect to handhold this lens down to 1/20th second. Light levels are low but depth of field is still extensive at wider apertures and I can get a lot in the viewfinder, even when standing very close to the subject, with its 90 degree angle of view. The camera, a 40 odd year old Nikon F90, is a relatively sophisticated film camera with shutter speeds to 1/8000th sec, spot and 3D matrix metering, together with reliable auto focusing. Loaded with Ilford HP5+ 400ASA B&W film. (24 exposures £5-00, focusses the mind somewhat). Trying my new to me. Nikon SB600 speedlight, separating my subjects from the chaotic jumble around, including exhibits hanging from the roof, I dialled in minus1.7 stops exposure compensation on the camera (to darken areas lit only by existing light) and then plus 1.7 stops extra on the flash for normal exposure of the subject. Of course, there is no way of checking at the time, with film you don't have the luxury of instant preview or histograms. Once developed however, I had 24 well exposed negatives and a low resolution scan revealed images with which I am very pleased. The HP5 film coped with the considerable range of contrast and holds plenty of detail in the shadows, certainly better than any B&W conversion I have managed from a digital image. Negatives are sharp despite the lack of a tripod and the grain is not obtrusive. The next step is to enlarge these in the “darkroom” but I'll wait until I have a few more to do. It’s a right faff getting it all set up and blacked out – and putting it away afterwards. Spilt film developer on the carpet, by the way, won’t come out and it upsets the household authorities ….. Film is dead. Long live film.’
