Next Wednesday we have the final competition of 2018 when we welcome Vince Penticost AWPF to judge Round 2 of the 2018-2019 Print Competition. Vince is Chairman of Western Valley Camera Club in South Wales and is immediate Past President of the Welsh Photographic Federation. |

All members of BPS are invited to the next monthly meeting of the DI group on Monday, 10 December. As usual you are encouraged to bring images, either to show off your successful work and share your knowledge, if you want to, on how you achieved it or to get helpful comments from others on any problem you may have faced in processing it to improve your image. You may bring prints or digital files ( of any size in JPG format in a folder of your name on a memory stick ) for projection. If you just want to sit back and enjoy the proceedings you are also welcome to join in and share the chocolate biscuits in the coffee break.
Last month we had a look at the results of the digital challenge which arose from a question - How do I do that with my image? It was interesting to see how that was tackled by different members. If you have a question like that for one of your own images, please bring it along and we can see if it can be set as a new challenge. Look forward to seeing you on Monday.

RPS - Distinctions For Club Member |
Well done to Andrew Whettam who was awarded the LRPS distinction at the RPS this week. |
If members using the studio need to adjust the air conditioning temperature settings, would they please remember to reset it to 22.5°C when they have finished, there have been occasions recently when this has not been done.

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.
|
|
If you have anything you think other members would like to know about, such as special events, exhibitions, photographic hints and tricks, etc. please let me know at bpsnewsletter@bristolphoto.org.uk
PLEASE NOTE: ALL COPY TO BE WITH THE EDITOR BY MIDNIGHT THURSDAY TO ALLOW FOR PUBLICATION (HOPEFULLY) ON FRIDAY MORNING.
