Round 3 of the Projected Image Competition takes place next Wednesday and is being judged by our own John Chamberlin FRPS MFIAP.
John is a well known and well respected national and international judge, so we can be sure of an evening of well considered critisism and advice.

The Print Group meeting, postponed from last Monday is now being held next Monday, 28 january at 7.30pm. Members who are looking to gain photographic distinctions are welcome to come along to get advice on their prints from Pete McCloskey and Andrew Marker. |

DPIC - SUPPORT BPS: The WCPF Interclub Digital Projected Image Competition (DPIC) is being held at Exeter on 10 February. Tickets are on sale and can be found on-line by following this link - (selling fast, so get your skates on!)
This event is usually very poorly supported by BPS members, with the majority of those who go being from the Salon Committee. It would be really great if other members could support BPS and go to Exeter on the 10th.
MEMBERS' EXHIBITION
Please note, the closing date for the annual WCPF Members' Exhibition is drawing near, 4 March. This is an exhibition that is open to all members of WCPF affiliated clubs (BPS is one of those) and is for both prints and PDIs. For full information, visit the WCPF website.

Thanks to Mark Gilbert for the following:
Using the BBC archive this programme reveals the working practices, lives and opinions of some of the 20th Century’s most distinguished photographers. From Norman Parkinson to David Bailey, Eve Arnold to Jane Bown, for decades the BBC has drawn the nation’s attention to the creators of what has become the most ubiquitous contemporary art form. Pioneering BBC programmes like Arena, Monitor and Omnibus provide unique and rarely seen insights into the careers of photography’s leading practitioners.
Through a selection of top photographers, the programme brings into focus the key genres – Fashion, Portraiture, Documentary and Landscape – and shows how these talented figures helped develop photography into a revered – and accessible – art form.

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.
