Hello, Firstname |
 |
|
Next Wednesday, 28 April, we will be welcoming Glyn Edmunds (from Stafford) to our screens when he will be presenting his talk entitled The Wildlife and Work of the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Kenya.
The Conservancy covers 90,000 acres and is home to Kenya’s largest population of Black Rhino, large numbers of elephant, cheetah, lion, leopard, african wilddog and plentiful plains game. There are also rarer Northern species such as Grevys Zebra, Jacksons Hartebeest and Beisa Oryx.We will be shown many fine pictures of the animals and birds and hopefully also a number of video shots too. Although the staff within the conservancy try their hardest to prevent poaching, it does inevitably take place, especially for the horns of the Rhinos.

To see examples of Glyn's work, visit his website or his Facebook page. Zoom details:

THE ANNUAL COMPETITION – ALL entries to be received by 28 April
Just a reminder that the Annual DPI and Print competitions are combined this year into a single DPI competition which will be judged by Johnnie Rogers ARPS DPAGB AWPF AFIAP. The original programme has the date for DPI entry as Wednesday 28 April. This is now the closing date for ALL entries.
The rules for the competition are as for the Annual DPI competition and are to be found in the competition rules link on the website. There is a separate Nature section to this annual competition which is open to all Club, Intermediate and Advanced members. Members may enter a total of 4 images to the competition, across their particular Open section and the Nature section. Entries for the Nature section must be clearly identified. Note also that the judge is asked to select the best Travel, People, Action, Landscape and Monochrome pictures from the whole entry (i.e. all levels).
In limiting entries to 4 per member we hope to reduce the need for any images to be culled. The judge will comment on the images across two evenings, 19 May and 9 June. Exactly what will be presented on each evening will depend, in part, on the number of entries to each section of the competition.
General "competition rules and info" can be found in the Members' Portal of the BPS website - see foot of this newsletter for login details.

RPS Distinction or a PAGB Award?
The RPS and PAGB are jointly running a very special event to look at both awards.
If you have a body of work ready, or you are preparing one, which of the two options is best for you? Or perhaps you could try for both?
This event will help you to decide by looking at the following:
- The criteria for each award and what you need to do to become successful.
- The application process and how to apply.
- Successful submissions at all levels to show the standard required.
You will have the opportunity to ask questions of the advisors and find out which is the best way forward for you.
This event is free, but we would recommend booking early as places are limited. Book online HERE

Despite its name, the competition embraces a very wide variety of subject matter and genres, with 25 categories in all and an entry of over 10,000.

Here is the latest update from LEE Filters:
Dear associated club members.
Firstly many thanks to all of you who took time to view our last Ambassador talk with Verity Milligan, and those who have booked intro talks and filter talks with myself. These are going down extremely well with great feedback and is proving a very enjoyable experience for all.
As we head into April and out of Lockdown I hope you are all enjoying new found freedom and inspiration being allowed out with your cameras again.
Moving on:
I am pleased to attach the latest April clubs newsletter for you to forward onto your members.
In this month’s issue we have :
1. A ‘how to guide’ for the Free LEE Long exposure phone App and a Step by Step guide to perfect Long Exposures.
2. An update regarding some special deals through LEE Direct on Long Exposure Stopper Filters and Kits..
3. A video Link to a Rachael Talibart feature where she discusses the differences between Stoppers and Pro-Glass IRND.
4. A special offer on Justin Minns book ‘Photographing East Anglia’
5. A link to Photoguard insurance for your camera equipment with a 10% discount.
6. An invite to our next Free Ambassador talk which will be with the young and very talented Mr Harry Wheeler ‘A Year In East Anglia’
7. 3 x Links to current and upcoming talks via either Facebook Live or Youtube.
8. Details of the new Zoom Presentation (‘Welcome to the World of Filters’ ) which covers use of filters across multiple genre’s such as Street, landscape, portrait, architecture, and macro etc which is available to book free of charge for your club. This talk is designed to be delivered on a per club basis to allow for more interactive Q&A but we do welcome multiple clubs to join in if you wish to invite them.
9. Links to the previous News letters and resources.
10. Links to the Free Lee Exposure Magazine and other useful links.

Salon acceptances: BPS photographers are now achieving large numbers of salon acceptances and constraints on time and space mean we can't include them all. So please only advise of awards or other milestones.
Contrary to popular belief, I do not possess psychic powers and need you to tell me if you've had successes. If you want to blow your own trumpet (or someone else's), then this is the place to do it. Please let me know and I'll include details in a future issue.

Make Money For BPS Every Time You Shop On Amazon! |
Now we're all still in lockdown, the thought of on-line shopping must be looming large in many members' minds. It's worth remembering that if you so wish, each and every one of you can support BPS with every purchase you make on Amazon by using Amazon Smile. Click on the link below – then it’s self-explanatory.
Shopping using Smile is no different to your normal Amazon shopping and costs you nothing, it's just that you need to tell it that you wish to use Smile and then we get some pennies!
|
|
If you have any photographic items for sale, drop me a line and I'll include it in the next newsletter. Please make sure that you provide contact details, price and full description of the sale items (pictures always help).
