There will be no meeting in the hall on Thursday night (19th December) instead we will be having our Christmas social on Wednesday 18th, which will be a meal at the Farmhouse Inn at Southwick. We will be meeting in the bar from 7pm, ready to sit down at the table for 7:45pm.
Once again we will be having a quiz to entertain us, although George is keeping quite about the topic. Don’t forget to wear your Christmas jumpers!
This Thursday we will be holding an Enprint competition for the Dicks Trophy. Enprints are a smaller print 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.
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.

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).

Trowbridge Camera Club was awarded a Highly Commended on Saturday for our entry in the Kingswood Salver. This is a great achievement by the club – well done to the members whose images were chosen.
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.
