Members,Our session this week, 25th February, is hosted by Committee Members Nick Krainc and Kevin Crosbie .Nick will share a selection of images taken by his Father-in-Law, taken during the 60s when he worked at the Woomera Rocket Range in Australia.Kevin will present to us his unique take on Macro Photography.So, a varied programme that we hope will entertain and inform.
Our next meeting on Thursday 18th February will feature a presentation entitled “Technique and Creativity in Night Photography” . Our speaker for the evening will be the extremely talented Professional Photography Tutor Nigel Forster from The Creative Photography Experience. This will be a unique and interesting evening that I am sure will appeal to many of our members who have already tried Night Photography or would like to give it a try. Another evening not to be missed !!
For next Thursday we have something very special for our members:-Together Steve & Jen are Sleepy Robot Photography!Based in Llanelli, South Wales, they have been working together for over 8 years. They pride themselves in not following convention & have been learning their craft to create unique portrait photography that has a twist from the norm!
Steve says;“Combining fashion and beauty photography to form high quality photographic art, we hope we are different! We can be found spending as much time creating props, sets or in post production as actually photographing. The result we hope is creative, unique with a little bit of wow! We hope you like our imaginative stories.Hopefully on Thursday we can share that through our talk about working on weekly themed shoots, playing with different materials to make props, and finish with some images and our journey about working with ballet dancers.”
This week is the architecture competition with our Judge Gary Shinner LRPS
For our next club meeting on 21st January we are trying something a bit different.
The club now has access to the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain Portal and the PAGB Recorded Lecture Service library.
The Programme Secretary has selected a title from the Canon EOS library of lectures that is certain be of interest to a wider audience not just Canon users.
The lecture is called “The Art of Back and White”
The presentation runs for 110 minutes, so breaks will be inserted by the Zoom Host who will be running the Lecture from a DVD.
Breaks will allow us to ensure the technology is working and gather some thoughts about the whole process. A test was carried out today (Wednesday) and it seems to work very well. This is a bit of an experiment both with the concept and the quality of the content. So please be honest in your feedback both during and after the session.
The last entry date for the Architecture Competition is Thursday 14th January.

Our first meeting of the new year is presented by Julian Elliot – A look at Japan’s architecture from the old to new.
Explore the old architecture of Japan to the newest. Starting in Himeji with its famous castle, going to Kyoto with its beautiful temples the talk ends in Tokyo with Blade Runner’esque architecture.
Our session on the 17th was planned to be out Christmas Party. Sadly we can’t go and play skittles and eat fish and chips together this year. We will be having the usual Zoom meeting, but with Christmas flavour.
Fez Parker will be with us to review pictures submitted for the happiness competition, and Andrew Leach will be presenting a Video on his trip to Iceland.
Finally we are all photographers. So here’s a challenge: Photographing Festive Food – We can’t all go out together and eat, so let’s take pictures instead.
Probably none of us have tried food photography as a subject. The original idea for this, was to photograph mince pies in an entertaining or amusing way. This might prove to be a bit limiting, let’s face it you can have too many mince pies at Christmas, so send in your amusing or entertaining images of festive food. There are no prizes we will just look, discuss and enjoy the results. Pictures in the usual projections format to: projectionsecretary@trowbridgecc.co.uk.
This week (Thursday 10th Dec) we have two of our members, Phil Jones and Lora Bennett present an evening of their photography, interests and influences.
