There will be no meeting this Thursday (2nd April) as we break for Easter. We will resume again on 9th April with a Members’ evening, showing images from the club outing to the Fleet Air Arm museum.’

This Thursday we have another DPI competition. This time the subject is Leading lines & patterns.

Our judge for the evening is Janet Miles.

Non-members are welcome to attend and can come along for up to 3 meetings before joining. We do ask that you pay the £2 entrance fee for those 3 evenings. We meet at St Thomas church hall, Trowbridge at 7:30pm (see map).

This Thursday we will be having a photo walk in Bradford on Avon. So bring your camera gear and let’s buddy up and drive over to the swanky district for an evening of long exposures, falling in the river and capturing buildings at night or anything else for that matter.

There has been a slight mis-match with an updated programme, so here is a correction to the previous post about the club meeting on the 12th March.

Members were all sent an email on 31st January about the following still life challenge:

The idea was to take photographs, at home, of the same items, using our own creativity and ideas.  The aim of the evening is to see how we all interpret photographing the same items.  The digital images will then be shared and discussed on 12th March. Each person can show up to four images.

The items to be used are:

3 Lemons

1 Teacup and saucer

1 Teaspoon

1 piece of cloth or a serviette.

The teacup can have liquid in it and one or more lemons can be cut up.

Please do not add or take away any items from the list. It’s our task for the evening to photograph the same.

You can choose whatever base and backdrop you would like to use.

If you are doing more than one image, they can be different on each.

It is not a competition. It’s an evening of sharing, taking part and having a bit of fun. The more images we have, the more successful the evening will be.

Submissions are due for the next DPI Competition, the subject of which is “Leading lines/Patterns”.

Non-members are welcome to attend and can come along for up to 3 meetings before joining. We do ask that you pay the £2 entrance fee for those 3 evenings. We meet at St Thomas church hall, Trowbridge at 7:30pm (see map).

For those members not present last Thursday here are the images that made it into the last 4 of the “It’s a knockout” digital competition:

The overall winner was the Highland cow by Della Cook, with Jeff Barber’s orange rendered building a close second.

This Thursday we have a members evening where we will be holding another ‘It’s a knockout’ image competition. Two images will go head-to-head each time and members vote for the best one. This repeats until there are just two left. The final vote will determine the best image of the evening.

The competition will be DPIs this time. Members can put forward up to 4 DPIs on any subject, colour or mono, which must be submitted to the Projection Secretary (Jeff) by the end of Tuesday. The usual DPI competition rules apply.
