BPS member, Shaun Boycott-Taylor ARPS will present his talk "A Passion for Wildlife" which will be a veritable feast of natural history goodies. We are promised a mixture of wildlife images ranging from those taken in Shaun's own little local wildlife haven where he has a permanent hide, to those taken further afield in locations such as Scotland, Bass Rock and Florida. All this, mixed with Shaun's boundless enthusiasm & passion for his subject, promises to make the evening a thoroughly enjoyable one.

Annual Projected Image Competition

The closing date for this year's Annual Projected Image Competition is next week; full entry details and rules can be found in your BPS Handbook or by visiting the BPS website (click here). Jeff has asked me to mention the following:
"NOTE:- The file names of your complete entry are to be numbered in order of preference (1-5) which is to include any Nature images in your submission"
If you have any queries, I'm sure Jeff will be only too happy to help, you can email him at competitions@bristolphoto.org.uk. Please email your entries to the same address. The judge this year is Peter Gennard MFIAP EFIAP/p

Studio group will be meeting on Thursday 2nd May at 7.00pm to photograph fashion student Natalie in an outfit she has made; please book using the following link. There is a limit of 6 photographers; once full, please add your name to the list if you would like priority for the next event. |
There will be no meeting at the clubrooms on the Wednesday after next, 8 May. Instead we will be meeting at the QEH Theatre in Jacob Wells Rd, Clifton for the annual showing of the Bristol International Salon of Photography. This is an event not to be missed when you will be able to see a selection from the nearly 3,000 images that were accepted in this year's Salon, including all of the award winners, all set to an appropriate musical background. Members are encouraged to bring along family or friends (or both); entry for members is free but a small charge of £4 is made for visitors or guests.
We will be showing roughly 900 images at the show, but if you feel you have time on your hands, you can view all of the accepted images on the BPS website by clicking here.

This is a bit of advanced warning. Next year's WCPF Knightshayes Trophy is a competition for individual photographers and is for a maximum of 2 prints on a set subject, this time the subject will be "Airborne". The closing date is February next year which is a long time away, but hopefully this advanced warning will give you a chance to get the winning image at this year's summer (yes, I did say summer) events such as air shows, kite festivals etc.

If you have something photographic that you want to sell, why not let me have details and I can circulate them to a captive audience of photographers through the Newsletter - send to the usual address.

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.
