Next Wednesday, 12 May, we welcome Bill Hall AFIAP DPAGB FBPE, who will be presenting his talk Out and About - Again.
Bill was a judge for this year's Bristol Salon and is a well known nature photographer, but is also very well know for his "non-nature" images, This talk will be a look at all the other photography he does besides and includes travel, landscapes, sport, action and some personal stuff.
Bill is a member of Rolls Royce (Derby) Photographic Club but has recently emigrated to Cornwall where he is a member of Truro Camera Club. To get a flavour of Bill's work, why not visit his (RR Derby) gallery by clicking here.

Next Monday, 10 May, it is time for the monthly Digital Group meeting where every BPS member is invited to join in. It is the place to share your images in an informal atmosphere. Now that the days are getting longer and warmer you may have been taking advantage to grab a few shots or try some new techniques.
David Alderson has already sent me some of his new and beautiful work and I am looking forward to finding out more about it. If you would like to show off your images or perhaps techniques you may have experimented with DI meeting is an ideal place to share them. You are also welcome to invite comments on from other members present on any of your images.
Please send your images to me by Sunday 9 May, 6 pm.
Images: JPG format, sRGB colour space, 1600 x 1200 pixels (same as competitions but not strict), prefix filenames with 01, 02, 03 etc. if you wish to show them in that order. Email attachment size - max 20Mb per email.
I look forward to seeing you on Monday.

PLANS FOR ANNUAL COMPETITION PRESENTATION
There are 152 images entered into the competition. In the Advanced class there are 87 images, 65 in the remaining three classes. This is not a good even split between the two competition evenings. Since it is preferable to show all the images in a class in a single evening presentation, it is intended to show the entire Advanced class entry of 87 images at the first evening on the 19 May but not to show the awards given (which may well comprise 20 images) until the second evening on the 9 June. That evening will comprise the Club, Intermediate and Nature competitions and all the award presentations.

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.

Make Money For BPS Every Time You Shop On Amazon! |
Now we're all still in lockdown, the thought of on-line shopping must be looming large in many members' minds. It's worth remembering that if you so wish, each and every one of you can support BPS with every purchase you make on Amazon by using Amazon Smile. Click on the link below – then it’s self-explanatory.
Shopping using Smile is no different to your normal Amazon shopping and costs you nothing, it's just that you need to tell it that you wish to use Smile and then we get some pennies!
