Hello, Firstname |

Next Wednesday we have a new visitor to our screens when we welcome Brian Northmore who will be presenting his talk Mono Vision.
This will be an evening celebrating monochrome photography. Brian will move on through a basic introduction to his background and proceed to display work from general monochrome landscapes, aviation, and finally his Dartmoor 20 Project.
|
|
During the talk, he will explain his use of photographic style and that personal touch to the image, describe the elements or features in the landscape that he is drawn to photograph. And use a couple of before and after processing examples. The talk is divided into approximately two 45-minute segments, but this depends a little on audience participation and questions - something he is keen on!

Digital Group Meeting – Monday 13 September.
The Digital Imaging group meeting on 13 September promises to be an interesting evening with some cracking creative images from Barry (Mead) which you can’t miss.
A few more presentations are promised by Richard Kay, Steve Field and John Hudson but there is still enough room for your images of whatever projects you have been working on. All BPS members are welcome to join the meeting and share their images in an informal atmosphere. If you would like comments on your images or just show them off, we would like to see your presentation.
Please send your images to me by Sunday 12 September, 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.

Unless some new disaster strikes, we’ll be enjoying actual, physical prints once again from now on. We hope printers are being fired up, dried-out inks replaced and mountboard dug out from its long sleep.
Please consult previous newsletters and/or the BPS website for the new rules about the number of allowed entries and the changed status of the Prescribed category. If you’ve already coped with entering PDI Round 1, you should have no problems.
The closing date for Round 1 of the Print Competition is Wednesday, September 22, by which time we should be back to meeting at Unit 13. If you are unable to attend in person on that day, we have arranged with WEX that you can hand in your print entries to them any time the shop is open, up to and including the closing date. We are grateful to the WEX staff for offering this facility.
The Prescribed topic for Print Round 1 is Street/Candid.
Please note that entry labels for the backs of your prints will now be downloadable from the website for you to cut out and stick on. They are also available as an attachment to this newsletter.
Thank you for supporting last season’s NotThePrint competitions. Remember that images entered in those rounds are eligible for submission as real prints. We look forward to seeing some great prints – and plenty of them – this year.

New Rules
The maximum number of images submitted by Intermediate and Advanced entrants will be two, while entry to the Prescribed challenge will be optional and open to all.
- Club entrants may submit three images. One of these images may be for the optional Prescribed topic. Points gained for the Prescribed topic will accrue to the entrant’s Club score.
- Intermediate entrants may submit two images, one of which may be for the optional Prescribed topic. Points gained for the Prescribed topic will accrue to the entrant’s Intermediate score.
- Advanced entrants may submit two images, one of which may be for the optional Prescribed topic. Points gained for the Prescribed topic will accrue to the entrant’s Advanced score.
A separate tally of Prescribed scores will be kept, with awards for the Print and PDI winners at the end of the season.
There will be no printed Handbook this year, so please consult the BPS Website for full details of the rules and instructions how to submit your digital entries.

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.

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).

Make Money For BPS Every Time You Shop On Amazon! |
With the thought of on-line shopping still 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!
