Many thanks to everyone who contributed to our members’ workshop.
These informal critique evenings are invaluable in helping us to improve and hone our skills by providing feedback in a positive and constructive way. It is also one of the benefits of being in a club where open discussion is encouraged.
Next week we are back on Zoom for a talk by Neil Scott – Minimalism My Way’.
In the meantime have a good week.
Many thanks to Michael Lurie, Pinner Camera Club, for judging our Open and Set Subject (Lines) print competitions.
The Open section: many congratulations to Peter Polkinghorne for his winning print ‘Sunset Panorama’, his ‘Locked Up’ was third with Judith Gimber’s ‘Male Ruffs Displaying’ second.

Very many thanks to everyone who entered the competitions and came along to support the evening. Special thanks to Michael for his judging and entering into the spirit of the feedback sessions.

There is no meeting next week as we have an Easter break and look forward to the 8th April when we will be at Century for a workshop/members’ evening.
In the meantime have a good Easter and hopefully good weather. Don’t forget to put the clocks forward this weekend!
Many thanks to Keith Snell for his wonderful talk last night. It was so engaging, informative and filled with excellent photographs.
The talk took us to Iceland and Svalbard and we were treated to breath-taking wild life shots and glacial landscapes. As wonderful as it was to see close-ups of polar bears with cubs, Keith also shot them in the landscape showing their vulnerability in the vastness of the ice – so poignant and beautiful. The link to his website is below.
Many thanks again to Keith for giving us an inspiring and enjoyable evening, much appreciated by all.
Next week we are back in Century for the Set Subject and Open print competitions which will be judged by Michael Lurie.
In the meantime have a good week.
