Next week is Round 2 of the Projected Image Competition, which is being judged by Aleks Gjika CPAGB AFIAP from Gloucestershire. Looking at Aleks' galleries it would appear that he is pretty good at most things, so should be well qualified to pass judgement on our photos. If you want to see the type of photos that Aleks takes, why not visit his website at www.aleksgjika.photography

For those of you who aren't too sure what the Bristol Salon
is: it is an international photographic exhibition that has been running
since the mid-1940s and is the largest exhibition of its type in the UK
attracting entries from nearly 70 different countries. Entrants may submit
up to 16 images across 4 sections (Open, Monochrome, Photo Travel and
Nature) which are put before a panel of selectors who pick the top 20% to
30% or so to be accepted. Entry for BPS members is free as long as we
receive your entry before 19 January, after that you will have to pay the
full fee. This might seem like a long way off, its now only two weeks away,
so beat the rush and get your entry in now!
To help you with your entry there is a small tutorial that can be
downloaded by following this link.
When entering, be sure to tick the box on the first page of the entry
system to say that you are a BPS member and fill in your BPS membership
number which you will find at the top of this newsletter; when you get to
the payment page at the end, click ALREADY PAID or you'll have the BPS debt collectors at your door!
Here's hoping that we see a rush of entries, but in the meantime if you
have any queries, feel free to email me at chairman@bristolsalon.co.uk
Full details can found on the BPS website
All the best
Pete Howell & the Salon Team

ITS NOT PARTICULARLY EASY FINDING "DATES FOR YOUR DIARY", SO I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT IF MEMBERS COULD LET ME KNOW OF ANY EVENTS, EXHIBITIONS OR PICTURE LOCATIONS THAT THEY THINK WOULD BE OF INTEREST. DATES AND WEB LINKS WOULD HELP.
|
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.
|
Please note, we can only carry adverts for items to sell if those items actually belong to the member advertising them.
If you have something photographic that you want to sell, let me have the details and I will circulate them to a captive audience of photographers through the Newsletter - send to the usual address. |
Would all members please note: before you plan your shoot and book your model, you should check whether the studio/clubroom will be free. This can be done easily and at any time by viewing the Clubroom Bookings calendar in the Members' Area of the BPS Website. Bookings can (and must) be made by contacting Mike Bigger at bookings@bristolphoto.org.uk.
Log in details to the Members' Area are at the end of this 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 download the list.
|
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, if they are wrong, please let Carol
know.
