DPI Competition – “Working Title”

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.

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!

Meeting 8th December – Zone Trips: A globe trotting journey via the world of urban adventure photography by Max Leonard

Adventure photography is a challenging niche at the best of times, working in often dangerous conditions to capture the perfect shot whilst ensuring you and your companions don’t end up injured or dead in the process is usually par for the course. When these pursuits are taken from the caves and mountains and into the cities, factories and infrastructure that keeps modern life ticking over, the added overhead of keeping yourself unseen and out of trouble makes for an unique and understandably, rarely talked about form of photographic process.

In this talk, Max will take you on a tour of his global adventures and photography. From the catacombs of Odessa to the abandoned stations of the London Underground. From the lost Soviet outposts in the high arctic to the freight train hobos of North America. From secret tunnels behind the Niagara Falls, to the wonders of the ancient world and a lot humourless men with kalashnikovs thrown in for good measure.

Max is coming to the hall to deliver this.

As always new members are welcome.

Meeting 24th November

This week’s meeting was due to be a presentation by Ken Holland. Unfortunately, due to an urgent medical appointment he is now no longer able to make it.

He offers his sincere apologies and we will hope to see him next year.

Fear not, Jeff our projections secretary is going to give us a talk on postprocessing and workflow using Adobe Lightroom followed by a question and answer session.

We also have Terrick giving a demonstration of how to mount prints and cut the mounts. He will also demonstrate double mounting which can really make a difference to the presentation of your prints and maybe give you an edge over the opposition in competition.

If there is time, we will also look at some examples of street photography and monochrome images to give ideas and guidance of our future competition.

Look forward to seeing you all in the hall on Thursday.
