The BPS Photography Course finished Tuesday this week; after 11 weeks of lectures and local visits to Clifton, Blaise, Docks and Clifton night shoot.
The course had a really good response from the course members with numbers holding up to the end.
Attached are four pictures from the final review with “Relax” chosen as very innovative.

Black Friday - Affinity Photo |
If you are interested in getting Affinity Photo, they have jumped on the Black Friday bandwagon and are offering a 40% Black Friday discount - just click here to be taken to their website.
I don't know how long the offer is on, but other offers on the site are only available this Friday to Monday - so you might need to hurry (no good for some of the club's procrastinators - you know who you are!).

Last Saturday saw BPS compete with eighteen other clubs from Great Britain, South Africa, Canada and Ireland in the 2023 Cwm Rhondda International PDI Battle. Participation was by invitation only.
The competition was for four PDI images each from a different author and was judged live on YouTube by Roger Parry MPAGB ARPS EFIAP Hon PAGB. The contest is still available to view on YouTube using this link: https://youtube.com/live/Ck4H-05wVW0?feature=share
Below are our four entries:
We did particularly well and came joint second with Catchlight CC from Northern Ireland, the eventual winners were Bromsgrove PS.
Well done to our four contributing photographers, Barry Mead, Derwood Pamphilon, Mike Martin and Ralph Snook, a special mention must go to Derwood, who's image, Inverted Y, got one of the afternoon's only two maximum scores of 20 and the award of the Judge's Choice as Best Colour Image.

I have received the following from Suzanne Allen:
Interested in Photobooks at an elevated level... great for applying for RPS distinctions. Here are links for fantastic online workshops. Not expensive for a full day workshop. Until 1 December there is a £20 early bird booking discount reducing cost to £35 with a limited number of 10 participants.
Both workshops can be reached from the photobook page, but direct links are:

The Great Wilderness Talk |
I'm indebted to Jay for the following email he received:
Hello,
I think I've talked at your club a couple of times before, but I’m a landscape photographer based in Bath with a specialism in mountain photography. I’m also a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society and serve on their distinctions panel.
I’m emailing because I am delivering at talk at RPS House at the Paintworks in Bristol on December 5th at 7-9pm on my latest project photographing The Great Wilderness in Scotland, and I wondered if you would be kind enough to let your members know about it?
It's an amazing lecture theatre and I have put together an exciting presentation of my adventures in the mountains and what it takes to produce a body of work in such a remote area.
So if you would like to invite your members that would be very helpful! Tickets £5
Thank you and hope to see some of your members there!

In addition to the above acceptances, Sandie Cox was awarded a PAGB Ribbon, Richard Kay a PAGB Silver Medal and Sue O'Connell a FIAP Ribbon.
|
Salon acceptances: 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.
|
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).
|
IMPORTANT: Personal Detail Changes |
Please don't forget that if you change your address (home or email), or gain additional photographic distinctions, it would be appreciated if you could let the Membership Secretary know so that she can keep her records up to date, this will also ensure that you continue to receive your newsletters - please email all changes to membership@bristolphoto.org.uk.
The distinctions we have on record are those shown at the top of this newsletter, please remember, if you don't tell us we can't possibly know!
DO NOT REPLY TO THE NEWSLETTER.
