Hello, Firstname |
Its not just the BBC that kowtows to football & Wimbledon. It would appear the England football team are playing a game on Wednesday which might draw the attention of a number of members and cause them to want to watch 23 men and a ball, rather than spend an intellectually invigorating and entertaining evening on Zoom.
It has been decided, therefore, to take the unprecidented step of moving this week's meeting to Thursday, 8 July. The time and log in details are the same (see below) - so same time, same place - DIFFERENT day.

Next week, THURSDAY 8 July, we have a double treat, with the evening being split into two halves. The first half will be a short resume of Bob Faris' creative photography when his daughter, Paula, will show a selection of images from his FRPS panel and other creative work. Many photographers these days think that creative photography can only be made using software, such as Photoshop, these pictures should convince you otherwise, with many of the images, including his FRPS panels being highly creative and being created in pre-Photoshop days. Below are a selection of Bob's images, see if you can work out which ones used Photoshop and which ones didn't.

The second half of the evening will be this year's running of the Creative Competition, which is being judged by our President, Barry Mead EFIAP/d3 MPAGB FRPS APAGB, who can be seen here being presented with the trophy after winning the inaugural competition by Bob, the instigator of the competition and designer and donor of the trophy.

NEW - Download issue 285 of PAGB eNews here. This includes the results of the Inter-Federation Competition.
Issue 285 Extra contains details of the Masters of Print Salon des Refusés. These are prints that very nearly made it, with only 60 prints accepted, selection was tough and these prints were only rejected "because there were already sufficient pictures of that style". Two of the pictures are by BPS members:

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.

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!

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).
