• Program: "Which one should I pick?" - Roughly five brave AACC volunteers will each present, on screen, a "proof sheet" of 4 to 10 related images from which they need to select one for editing and retouching. These might reflect: (a) a set of action shots taken in a burst; (b) a set of images of the same landscape or street scene or macro subject; (c) a set of portraits of a given subject taken at a single setting; or (d) any set of related images from which a single choice should be made for attention. At the meeting, a panel of AACC members will provide their own opinions as to which image from a given set is the most suitable, and discuss these opinions with the photographer.
