We will be holding an Enprint competition for the Dicks Trophy on Thursday 12th December. Enprints are a smaller format – 6″x4″ or 7″x5″. This will be an open topic, so anything goes – it could be some of your older snaps or photos for a bit of fun, or perhaps images with impact.

Bring your prints (6″x4″ or 7″x5″) on the night (4 maximum) – no need for mounting, just write the title and your Membership number on the back. The winner will be judged by the members.

This Thursday we will be holding a Photo Walk – a practical session involving an evening walk around Trowbridge. Capture those Christmas lights and festive excesses around the town. It may not snow, but lets hope it’s dry!

Don’t forget your cameras, tripods and any other equipment you might need.

Non-members are welcome to come along for up to 3 taster meetings before joining. All we ask is that you pay the £2 entrance fee for those 3 evenings. We meet at St Thomas’ church hall at 7:30 (see map).

This week’s meeting is our second DPI Competition – “Open” (Any Subject Any Genre).

A welcome return to Alistair Ritchie from Backwell Camera Club. Alistair is interested in all aspects of photography, particularly studio work, dance/music/street and nature.  Being no great stickler for rules and more driven by the emotional impact of an image, Alistair is an excellent choice for our Open themed competition.

This Thursday we have a members evening where members can show their images from the Wiltshire Caledonian Pipes & Drums photo shoot a few weeks ago. Members can either show their images taken on the night, or if anyone is feeling creative, they can produce a short DVI slide show (5 minutes max) created from their images.

Non-members are welcome to come along for up to 3 taster meetings before joining. All we ask is that you pay the £2 entrance fee for those 3 evenings. We meet at St Thomas’ church hall at 7:30 (see map).

Unfortunately our presenter for Thursday night, Bob Bishop has come down with a particularly nasty tummy bug and is unlikely to be able to make it on the evening.

Fortuitously Jeff Barber is able to come to the rescue with a more in depth talk on Lightroom and image management. It was very clear from last week’s excellent talk that he has a great deal more to offer us, so we intended to schedule another session later in the season. Bringing it forward to this week will give it continuity, a chance to discuss some of the finer points, and an opportunity for more questions.  Bring your questions on image management, lightroom and anything computer related. Looking forward to another interesting and educational meeting.

We will schedule Bob for his presentation in the new year.

Submissions will still be due for the DPI Competition – “Open” (Any subject, any genre).

This Thursday we have a presentation entitled “Have Camera Will Travel” by Bob Bishop EFIAP/p, BPE5, LRPS. This talk covers several genres including landscape, a trip to Burma, street, a model shoot and event photography. Bob also breaks down some of the images to show how they have been edited to achieve the final result.

Kingswood Salver 2024

Here is the panel below. The individual images are shown in the gallery below the panel – click on the images to view full size.

This Thursday we will be holding a technical evening – Adobe Lightroom Masterclass by Jeff Barber. Jeff is a very experienced Lightroom user and the evening will be full of tips and advice on how to get great results from this very popular photo editing software.

If you have any particular questions about Lightroom or any specific issues/problems you would like to overcome with Lightroom, Jeff would no doubt be willing to explain how. You could even bring the image along on a USB stick to work through.

This Thursday is our first print competition of the season on the topic of Landscape/Seascape. The Judge will be Martin Cooper LRPS. This is a quick and welcome return to landscape specialist Martin, who previously inspired us earlier in the season with his landscape images.

Here is a previous winner by Jeff Barber.

This Thursday is an opportunity for members to bring along some images (DPI or print) to explain why they used the particular camera settings or chose that composition and/or to allow critique from the other members to get suggestions on how the image could be improved. It will be an informal, supportive and non-competitive environment where members can give their valued opinions.

Members can bring along up to 6 images (DPI or print), if DPI the images can be emailed to Kevin or brought on a USB stick etc.
