Wildlife photographer Victoria Hillman presents a brand new talk written during lock down covering macro photography both in the garden and in the field.
As always non-members are welcome to attend. We meet at St Thomas’s church Hall at 7:30pm (see map).
This Thursday’s meeting is presented by Andrew Marker and is titled “FRPS and Beyond”. The talk is based around showing prints in panels that Andrew submitted on his journey to his FRPS.
Non-members are welcome to come along – we meet at St Thomas’s Hall, Trowbridge at 7:30pm.
Reminder: The following Thursday (2nd March) is the closing date for entries our Open Tryptic Print Competition.
Our judge for this Thursday’s DPI competition is Mike Hendon LRPS. The “Working Title” can be a song, book, movie, sitcom name represented by the image. This should be an interesting competition and we should have some fun trying to guess the song, book, movie titles etc. Below is an example of what we can expect – this image is entitled Manhattan Skyline, which was an 80’s song by A-ha.
As always non-members are always welcome to come along. We meet at St Thomas’s church hall on at 7:30pm.
Peter Weaver from Hanham Camera Club will present his new lecture “My Kind of People”. These will be images of all kinds of people covering several genres including studio photography, outdoor, formal, candid and events.
As always non-members are welcome to come along to St Thomas’s church hall at 7:30.
This Thursday’s meeting will be a members evening at which Kevin Crosbie will give a presentation and demonstration on water drop photography, and then Rob Dyer will hold a workshop on basic editing with Photoshop. If members have any specific editing issues please email Rob (printsec@trowbridgecc.uk) with details and/or images to edit on the night.
Non members are welcome to come along to the hall (see map) and see what we do as a club.
In preparation for our Triptych print competition (print submission date 2nd March), here is our definition of Triptych, which can also be found in the member section of the website.
Each club member has two entries, one colour one mono (not a mixture).
One participation point for entering each set as normal.
A set comprises 3 normal print competition size mounts (see competition rules), clearly marked with the normal label and 1, 2, and 3 on the back so the judge knows the sequence that the images are in to tell their story. Use a title for the set.
The triptychs will be presented as three separate mounted images which will be placed side by side on the display stand.
The usual points will be awarded for commended, highly commended, 3rd, 2nd or 1st.
Those awarded points will then add to their score in colour or mono.
Here is an additional description of what the images should try to achieve visually:
“Three images of equal or differing sizes which aim to work together in order to demonstrate their worth as being greater than the sum of their parts”
Example:
This Thursday’s meeting is a chance for members to display their images taken from the photoshoot of Companions Of The Longbow back in December. Members can either send DPI images from the night to projsec@trowbridgecc.uk before Thursday or bring them along on the evening. Alternatively mounted prints can be brought along and displayed on the print stand.
The Companions Of The Longbow have been invited, but it is unclear at this stage if anyone will be available. If they do we will ask them to vote for their favourite image.
Non-members are welcome to come along and see what what we do as a club – see map for the hall location.
Our judge for this Thursday’s architecture print competition is Tim Beale LRPS. Tim also judged our last print competition back in 2019 so we are looking forward to welcoming him back. As a taster the image below was the overall winner of our Wiltshire Architecture DPI competition last year.
As always new members are always welcomed. We meet at St Thomas’s church hall on Thursdays at 7:30pm.
Our next DPI competition has a closing date of 2 February with judging on 16 February. The theme of the competition is “Working Title”. The following is some guidance on the kind of images we’re looking for and the same briefing will be given to the judge so that we all know what to expect.
OK, so this competition is definitely entering new ground for the club. We hope it’s going to stretch our members and it’s also intended to maybe not be taken as seriously as some of our more traditionally themed competitions – but we’re still looking for stunning images! Your images should illustrate either the title of a book, a film, a song or a music album. Here is an example called Electric Avenue.
This a competition that is necessarily going to be taking liberties so your images can as well. This is not a landscape competition, digital trickery is definitely not going to be frowned upon.
We want images whose titles suit the image, images that fit the title and possibly be clever, inventive or funny at the same time. Put your thinking caps on!
This week is the Trowbridge Camera Club Annual General Meeting. There will be time for an open discussion so this is your opportunity to have your say and participate in shaping the future of the club.
In addition to the AGM, Rob Dyer our print secretary, has prepared a tutoring session on Adobe Photoshop. He will be covering:
Basic editing of RAW & JPG images
Content Aware Fill & Clone Stamp tool
Cropping/resizing images and changing file size for competitions.
If members have any specific editing technique they would like help with he will try to assist. You can bring images along on a flash drive to be edited, or send them by email to printsecretary@trowbridgecc.co.uk.
As always new members are welcome. See you all on Thursday in the hall.
