This is a large scale (200 people) re-enactment of the English Civil War and promises to be a fabulous chance to capture some great photography. While we have no exclusive access, it is a chance to car share and enjoy a great day out.
If you are interested in being part of a group, probably going on the Sunday, then contact me by email mike.hall95@btinternet.com or by phone 07765 819640.
I am also exploring a visit to the Helicopter Museum at Weston-Super-Mare to do a model shoot using their collection of helicopters from all genres. For further info and to express interest contact me as above.

Distinctions Advisory Group |
Monday 21 July - 7.30pm at the Clubrooms.
Andrew Marker, Ralph Snook and Pete McCloskey will be present to offer advice and review possible submissions for RPS and PAGB panels. ALL members who are either already on the path to distinctions or thinking about having a go are welcome, so come along with your images (prints or DPIs) to receive advice.
For the Licentiate the RPS only accept DPI submissions and no longer prints. Our advice was largely based on print submissions, but with the RPS changed rules we will offer advice on DPIs.
It is recommended that members read up on Distinctions on the RPS and PAGB websites as they contain much useful information:
For further details, if required: ralph.snook@btinternet.com

As you know the PSA competition comprises 3 rounds, the aggregate score from these determines the year end ranking for BPS as a club (we did rather well).
In addition, images awarded in those three rounds are then re-judged to allocate the individual awards and medals in the End of Year Competition.
So congratulations all, Paul, Derwood, Barry and Margaret - your certificates are shown below:
Large Colour Prints:
- Gold – Paul Moran for Porter!
- HC – Derwood Pamphilon for Blue Dress Jete
 Creative
- Silver – Barry Mead for Negotiation
Small Colour
- HM – Margaret Chambers for King of the Penguin Colony
And, if anyone is interested in seeing the images that beat us, they are on the PSA website here - https://www.psa-programs.org/competitions/resultshome.php?cr When you get to the page you’ll need to select “Interclub” under Division Type. Division is the competition: those with PID prefix are digital and PPD are the print groups.
For the three PDI categories you need to select the appropriate “Group” to see our immediate competition: Nature - A; PID Mono – A; PID Colour – C.

Well done to three BPS members who managed to get acceptances in the prestigious Edinburgh International Print Exhibition. This is an exhibition that only accepted 163 prints in total, so to get one accepted is a major success. BPS successes were:
Steve Reynolds:
 |
|
Accepted + Edinburgh SPF Gold Medal |
|
|
|
 |
|
 |
| Accepted - Hot Work |
|
Accepted - Imploding Iceberg |
Mike Martin:
 |
|
 |
| Accepted - Divine Light |
|
Accepted - Lonely Cloud |
Derwood Pamphilon:
 |
|
Accepted - The Kiss |
It was a good week for Steve as he also found that he had gained his MPSA from the Photographic Society of America, which requires the recipient to have had 1500 acceptances in PSA recognised international exhibitions - no mean feat!
It was also a good week for Derwood as he gained his EFIAP/g (gold) distinction, this requires the recipient to have had 500 Acceptances with at least 150 different works in FIAP recognised exhibitions from at least 15 countries - again, no mean feat.
I don't know where these chaps get the money, the entry fees they must have paid could have bought me a small sports car!
Ed
From Sue O'Connell:
Thrilled to have won Gold medal in the PSA Annual Photo Travel Print Exhibition with this mono image, "Basilica Cafe Cartagena", an unusual subject for me!
|
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 them 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.
