Next Wednesday we welcome husband & wife team, Adrian & Jane Lines to BPS, when they will be presenting their talk: Folie à deux.
Adrian & Jane hail from Wigan and are members of Chorley CC. Both have been very successful photographers in their own rights, each having gained a long list of photographic distinctions: Adrian is MPAGB FBPE EFIAP SPSA AWPF and Jane LRPS CPAGB DPAGB MPAGB BPE5*.
|
|
Adrian describes their talk as follows:
Folie à deux ( French for 'madness of two'), also called shared psychosis or shared delusional disorder ( SDD), is a rare psychiatric syndrome in which symptoms of a delusional belief are "transmitted" from one individual to another.
Basically, the talk comprises 16 images/prints from Adrian, and 16 images/prints from Jane.
They will show the build ups from raw to finished image. The talk will be a digital presentation but prints will also be on display.
Below are two composite images showing what we can expect on the night.
You can see more about these two prolific photographers by visiting their websites:

The next Digital Imaging Group Meeting will be on Monday 10 February at 7.30pm.
Meetings are informal and take place at the clubrooms and via zoom.
These meetings are a great opportunity for all members to share images outside the competition environment. The aim of these evenings is to share knowledge, projects, expertise, ideas and to obtain feedback and inspiration. So, think about what techniques or tips you can share for the benefit of others, or what you might want help/feedback on.
DIG is the perfect environment for newer and less experienced members to pick up hints and tips or receive specific feedback to improve their photography and editing skills. BPS has many experienced members with diverse interests and styles who would be happy to help. If you are unsure whom to approach, just ask and someone will help or point you in the right direction.
We were treated to a wide variety of images at the December meeting, see below a snapshot of what we enjoyed, many thanks to all those that contributed including all those that took up Ashwin’s challenge and came up with some creative and innovative edits.
If you would like to share your images at the February meeting, please send them to me at dig@bristolphoto.org.uk by 5.00pm on Friday 7 February. Please number your images in the order you would like them to be viewed and resize to the usual competition size, not essential but it helps to keep the files to a manageable size. If you could please restrict the number of images to a maximum of 30 this will ensure that we enjoy a wide variety of subjects
If preferred, you are welcome to bring images along on the night on a memory stick but please ensure they are in .jpeg format and we can view them if time permits.
If you have a more detailed topic/technique to share, then let me know and we can schedule a longer more focused session, or feature this on one of the intervening practical evenings.
I look forward to seeing you.
Rachel Domleo.

Distinctions Advisory Evening |
To all members - a date for your diary.
The next meeting of the Distinctions Advisory Group will be held at the Clubrooms at 7.30pm on Monday 17 February, when advice will be given by Pete McCloskey FRPS, Andrew Marker FRPS and Ralph Snook ARPS to anyone wishing to, or in the process of, applying for photographic distinctions.
These evenings are primarily targeted at those aiming for RPS or PAGB distinctions, but anyone aiming for a photographic distinction is welcome. However, the panel can give advice on printing if members want general advice on their work.
If you are already well on the way down your chosen path or just thinking about dipping your toe in the murky waters of photo distinctions, you are welcome. Bring along your pictures (PDI or prints) and you can receive suggestions and advice about your next step forward.
If you require further details, please contact one of the panel directly:

Following last week’s studio group portrait shoot with the fabulous Tegan, Mike is busy planning the next portrait session for Monday 24 February. Mike is also trying to organise a shoot on Sunday 23 February for those who work during the week and cannot attend the regular Monday slots. Watch for details.
Monday 3 February – we shall be revisiting lightboxes, to build upon the ideas from the last session – so bring your lightboxes and any bits and pieces.

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. |
For those of you who aren't sure what MPAGB, EFIAP/s and many more such
seemingly random collections of letters mean, just click here to see the list.
