Next Wednesday we welcome our own Derwood Pamphilon, ARPS EFIAP DPAGB, who will be regaling us with an evening of portraiture and dance images. He says about the evening:
I took up photography shortly before I retired and from the outset was attracted to studio work. My passion is photographing people and movement, in particular dance in its many forms with the aim of capturing the personality of a person or group and telling a story. The first part of the evening will concentrate on portraiture, working with photographic models.
|
|
I worked initially from my home studio but now travel around the country to different studios and use a variety of outside locations to enhance the look of the subjects that I photograph. The second half is entirely devoted to dance photography. I will be showing studio images, inspired by photographers such as Lois Greenfield, as well as those taken in theatres. I have had the privilege of photographing the athletic and graceful dancers from top companies in recent years, mostly at London theatres. In all my work I’ve tried to reflect the grace, elegance, and sensitivity of those who have been in front of my lens. |

Print Handing In - Important Information |
Would members please note that we will no longer be keeping a box at Wex for the receipt of competition prints (including the Bi-Monthly Competitions, Bristol Salon, WCPF Members' Exhibition etc). We are grateful to Wex for providing this facility but fewer and fewer members have been using it and, for the latest print competition, only two did so. In future all entries should be dropped off at the clubrooms. Mike Martin hosts the Photographers with Disabilities (PWD) studio group most Monday morning, 11am to 2pm, and has kindly offered to accept prints at that time, but I suggest that you contact Mike beforehand to make sure that it will be OK - mike_martin@blueyonder.co.uk
Please note, PWD will be breaking up for Xmas on 12 December until their next meeting on 9 January.

Projected Image Competition - Round 2 |
Last Wednesday saw Round 2 of the Projected Image Competition which was jusged by Vince Penticost AWPF from South Wales. One thing that did come across from Vince's comments was the need on many dark images for a fine light keyline around the edge of the picture area. What is not always evident when viewing your images on your PC at home is the size of the black area that will be around the image when projected in the clubrooms, which means that (in the absence of a keyline} you cannot see where your image stops and the screen starts. The inclusion of a keyline separates the image from the surrounding dark screen.

Arrangements for the 2023 WCPF Members Exhibition (MX) are nearly complete, and the entry system will be available in January. We’ll send previous entrants an ‘invitation to enter’ email, and a link to the entry system will be posted on the WCPF website MX page once the system is open.
• Timings Entry will be open from Monday 7 January and will close on Saturday 11 March.

• Awards The exhibition has PAGB Patronage and PAGB Gold, Silver and Bronze medals plus Selector Ribbons will be awarded in each class. Highly commended certificates will also be awarded in each class.
“Best Wildlife” trophies will be awarded in each Nature class (Digital and Print). New for 2023 a “Best Creative” trophy will be awarded for the best Creative image in the Open Colour and Open Mono classes.
The “Margaret Aven” trophy will be awarded for the entrant who gains the most acceptances across all six classes.

• Print Collection Clubs may wish to collect print entries from their members and make a single delivery to their appointed collection point (AES). This will make the process more efficient and effective for club members and the AES. The name & contact details for an entrant’s AES will be notified on completion of the online entry.
We hope that members of WCPF clubs will continue to support the exhibition and submit their entries in good time. If anything is unclear or if there are any questions, then please get in touch with the Exhibition Secretary by email at mpix.wcpf@gmail.com

WCPF Exhibition Secretary

Salon acceptances:
Well done to Derwood Pamphilon who did rather well in the recent 4th International Contest Monteverdi 2022, gaining 10 acceptances, which included a Chairman's Choice Award (Precision) and a PSA Mention (Suspense 1). To cap it all, Derwood's image "Precision" was also chosen as the cover image for the catalogue, see below:
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 it 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.
