The next Studio Group meeting will be at 7.00pm on Thursday 13 October, with actress and model Marina O’Shea, for a theatrically themed portrait shoot. The cost will be £15. The maximum number of photographers will be 5. If more than 5 people sign up, Nick will seek to arrange an afternoon session on the same day. Please make sure that you use the comment section, when you sign up, to leave your email address and phone number so that Nick can get back to you. Please sign up using this link:

Phil Girdlestone Cock-A-Hoop!
|
We are used to seeing sports photography from the likes of Keith Wood and Jeff Hargreaves, but now there's a new kid on the block Club member, Phil Girdlestone. Phil was cock-a-hoop (sorry!) to have one of his images chosen as the cover picture for the September issue of The Croquet Gazette, he also had another image reproduced inside the magazine.

Below is an article from the latest issue of PAGB eNews which may help to debunk some of the interpretations of the FIAP/PSA/PAGB Nature definition:

BPS President, Barry Mead, has just received a 3rd place in the PSA PID Image of the Year 2015 Contest with his image called Boarding Now. This is a contest fought out between images by a PSA member that have received a Gold, Silver, or Bronze
PSA Medal (whether in an Open or Theme section) in a PSA-recognized PID
Exhibition during the previous calendar year (2015). From this you will be able to see that the competition is pretty stiff as the images had to have already been award winners, so it is no mean feat for Barry to have gained this accolade. We have all probably seen this image before, but it's worth seeing it again.

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.

Would all members please note: before you plan your shoot and book your model, you should check whether the studio/clubroom will be free.

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.
|
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.ukThe distinctions we have on record are those shown at the top of this newsletter, if they are wrong, please let Carol know. |
If you have anything you think other members would like to know about, such as exhibitions, special events etc. please let me know at newsletter@bristolphoto.org.uk
