Projected Image Competition - Round 3
|
|
Wednesday is also the closing date for Round 3 of the Projected Image Competition, the judge is John Gould. Entries to Jeff Hargreaves at competitions@bristolphoto.org.uk. Jeff will be happy to answer any queries you may have, using the above email address.

Those of you who have attended the last few meetings will have noticed that we have been using the projection screen in the corner of the clubroom instead of the usual centre screen. This is the screen position which was always used before the advent of digital and before we started to use the digital projector. We thought it would be a worthwhile exercise to try the corner position for few weeks and then to see which of the two positions members preferred. I know that one or two members felt that the corner position put the screen too close to their usual seats, but it would be helpful if you would email me at newsletter@bristolphoto.org.uk to let me know your thoughts. We are particularly interested to find out, not what you think is best for where you sit, but more what you think would be best for the club audience as a whole. |

Ashwin Chauhan recently had an acceptance in the RPS DIG DPIC competition. The image, called "Fry Up" is shown below.
Another club success in the same competition was Mike Bews with his image "They've sold our home".
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 something photographic that you want to sell, why not let me have details and I can circulate them to a captive audience of photographers through the Newsletter - send to the usual address.
|
If you have anything you think other members would like to know about, such as exhibitions, special events etc. please let me know at newsletter@bristolphoto.org.uk
