Barry and Carol Beckham, born in England, but now based in Queensland have been avid photographers for over 40 years. During that time they have operated a web site with videos for sale on Photoshop, Lightroom and Pictures to Exe (the program I use to make AV’s).
Carol has been diagnosed with Cancer and it’s causing her a major mobility problem and considerable pain.
Barry has therefore been forced to bring forward his plans for a new web site (https://beckhamdigital.photo/) which now offers all of his content free.
So now is your chance to see and download free videos on Photoshop, Lightroom and Pictures to Exe. Jus visit the new website where you can also sign up for his monthly newsletter.

My calculations indicate that we had 361 paying visitors plus somebody paid $1.15???? After costs of $399.00, mainly rent, we made a profit of $685.15. A huge thankyou to everybody that assisted.
Easter Chinese Dragon Pictures
Several of our club members were tasked with the job of taking pictures of the Bendigo Chinese Associations new and old Dragons commencing with the new dragons arrival at the Bendigo Airport up to and including the Annual Easter Parade. Approximately 500 photos have been handed over to the Chinese Association. The Association have indicated that they may make a book or an Audio Visual type presentation.
