We have a visit from Tremaine Cornish EPSA EFIAP PSA3* from Oxton in Merseyside next Wednesday. He will be presenting his talk entitled "No Flies On Me" (or "Care in the Community for a Photographer.net"). This will be a look at two aspects of Tremaine's photography - insects and creativity.

Monday 9 September is the monthly get together of the DI Group, when all are welcome and are invited to bring along images, either printed or projected, for general showing off or for discussion among the group (please remember that projected images should be on a memory stick and be jpegs). This Monday, Neil McCoubrey is going to demonstrate his favourite technique of creating black and white pictures; this technique works both in Photoshop and Elements.

The WCPF interclub print competition, the Kingswood Salver, is almost upon us again and Pete McCloskey is looking for images to make up our set of five related prints. What Pete woud like from members, to help him select the set, is a selection of images which he can whittle down to the final five. The images need to be on a theme and this year we have plumped for either landscape or seascape as our choice; so if you have suitable prints or projected images, that you could turn into prints, he would like you to take them along to this Monday's DI meeting. If you can't make Monday's meeting, please email them to Pete at pmccloskey11@btinternet.com, (images should be max 1400 x 1050 pixels).

The BPS shop window to the world is beginning to look a bit tired in the image department and Barry is looking for new images from members to help pep it up. If you have images that could either go in the Gallery section for which he'd need up to 12, or single images that he could scatter around the website, then please email them to Barry at barrymead@blueyonder.co.uk. Images should be a maximum of 600 pixels on the long side and be saved at 72 dpi. |

Sue O'Connell was over the moon recently to get 2 acceptances in te RPS International Images for Screen Exhibition (her first ever RPS exhibition success), plus a Gold medal in the Indian Golden Digital Circuit - well done Sue!
If you want to blow your own trumpet or, dare I say such a thing, blow someone else's trumpet for them, then this is the place to do it. Please let me know and I'll include it in the next issue.
