11th November: Members’ Evening led by Mark Buckley-Sharp

A very pleasant evening sharing ideas, thoughts and images that would make good  personalised greetings and post cards.  A variety of images from beautiful landscapes to unbound imagination and creativity.  Such a change from ‘critical’ analyses of work in this relaxed environment where exchange of views and ideas were both useful and informative.

Many thanks to Mark and to everyone who contributed to the evening.

Next week we are back on Zoom for a talk by Diane Seddon ARPS CPAGB BPE3 –  Odd Things, Part Two II

In the meantime have a very good week.

 

4th November: Open and Landscape Projected Comp, judged by Dennis Russ CPAGB LRPS AWPF BPE 1* AFIAP

Many thanks to Dennis for judging last night’s competitions in a sympathetic and positive way.

The Open competition was won by Judith Gimber with her ‘Call to Prayer’ and her ‘Rosy Pelican Detail’ was second;  Avril Candler’s ‘Sharing’ was third.  Dennis was very complimentary about all the images and several were highly commended and commended.  All  the photographs may be seen on Facebook.

Landscape: Judith’s ‘Toe in the Water’ claimed the trophy; John Draper’s ‘Misty Glade’ was second and Peter Polkinghorne’s ‘ From the West to the Hill’ third.  Once again Dennis was very  generous with everything else awarded highly or commended.

Congratulations to everyone who entered and supported the evening.  Once again many thanks  to Dennis for his empathetic comments which made for a very pleasant evening.

Next week we are ”at home’ at Century for a members evening about producing images for card-giving occasions.

In the meantime enjoy the week ahead.

 

28th October: Members’ Evening – Table-Top Photography

What a pleasant way to spend an evening!  We had the opportunity to take photos of a potpourri of interesting objects;   black velvet, red and white spotted teapot, candlestick and fish, Mr Toad and many more.  Cameras, tripods and mobiles kept busy photographing objects from all angles and different lighting.

Thanks to everyone who entered into the fun and for making such an informative and convivial evening.

Next week we are back on Zoom for our Open and Landscape projected competitions which will be judged by Dennis Russ CPAGB LRPS AWPF BPE 1* AFIAP .

Have a good week and enjoy Halloween………
