Next Wednesday we have a talk by Roger Hance FRPS, intriguingly titled The Boy Stood on the Burning Deck! This is a digital presentation showing a wide variety of subject matter ranging from Landscape, Natural History, Portraits, Sport, Photojournalism, Still Life and much more. In both Colour and Black and White, it shows some of Roger's favourite `haunts` that he goes to obtain images.

To see some of Roger's work, please visit his website at http://www.rogerhancefrps.com

It's rather disappointing that Andrew is the only member to have responded to my plea for images to put in the Newsletter. We're a photographic Society, which implies that most, if not all members have cameras and take pictures, so come on and let's see some of those pictures!

I have received the following from Kingswood Photographic Society:

 

Kingswood Photographic Society is absolutely delighted to welcome Chris Weston as their speaker on Friday 1st November.  The title of Chris’s illustrated talk is ‘Animals on the edge’.

Chris became a professional wildlife photographer in 2001 in order to follow his passion for what he describes as “the extraordinary behaviour of wildlife”. His contemporary approach to photography led to Amateur Photographer magazine describing him as “One of the most dynamic wildlife photographers working today.” He specializes in photographing mammals and endangered species and is renowned for his ability to connect with wildlife and reveal the often hidden personalities of his subjects through his images.

His work is published globally, with clients including the BBC, ITV, The Daily Telegraph, The Independent, The Guardian, and National Geographic. In 2011 his images were selected by The Sunday Times magazine for its feature titled “The Year’s Best Animal Photographs”.

Chris’s work is driven by conservation. In 2009, he published the iconic book Animals on the Edge: Reporting from the Frontline of Extinction, which has been described as “The most up-to-date visual survey of our world’s rare and endangered species.”  The book led to Chris co-founding the charity Animals On The Edge and he is directly involved in the charity’s work expanding tiger territory in Kanha National Park, in India, and supporting a lion release program in Zimbabwe. In 2011 he was named by Outdoor Photography magazine as one of the world’s “40 Most Influential” wildlife photographers.

This is an evening not to miss so we hope to see you there.

Kingswood PS meets Fridays from 7.30pm to 9.30pm at St Barnabas Church Hall, Warmley, Bristol  BS30 5JJ.  Visitors are most welcome and the cost for this evening is £3.00.

We have received the following details of an exhibition being held at Tower Wharf, Cheese Lane, BS2 0JJ:

 

 

I mentioned Andrew Marker's ARPS last week and that I hoped that we would see the panel on the wall before too long. Unfortunately the RPS have kept Andrew's pictures for a while, but you can still see the full panel by visiting the BPS website
