Hello, Firstname |

Next week, 30 June, we welcome an old friend of BPS,
Colin Harrison FRPS FIPF FBPE MFIAP MPAGB EFIAP/d3 MPSA GPSA AWPF APAGB to our screens, Colin will be presenting his talk entitled Flowers, and says of his talk:
I have been working on a flower project for over a year now with the aim of producing a talk for camera clubs.
I compress the flowers or even stick them in the freezer before photographing them. Finally, the images are manipulated in the computer.
Besides Photoshop, Topaz, Painter and Filter Forge, enhancement software has been used. So far it has taken me over nine months working on this project with new ideas coming up all the time.

As advertised in a previous newsletter, there are some new rules for the bi-monthly competitions:
The maximum number of images submitted by Intermediate and Advanced entrants will be reduced to 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.
Please note that images used in this past year’s “NotThePrint” rounds may be entered as prints this coming season. We do, however, hope to see as many fresh images as possible in all competition rounds.

I am going to lie down in a darkened room for a very long time! Last week I reported corrections to BPS successes in the Masters of Print Competition, which had been shown in the previous week's issue. Partly because of my failure to read things properly and partly through Barry's inabilty to write proper English, I missed off his success in this year's competition. So, at the third time of trying, here we go (again!):
Well done to Sandie Cox and Barry Mead, who both gained acceptances in this year's Masters of Print Competition - let's hope I've got it right this time!
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).
