We are pleased to inform you that Ashwin and other BPS Council members have been working behind the scenes in collaboration with member Lee Spencer-Fleet to provide some in-house ‘Digital Imaging’ training courses. This is a new and unique opportunity arranged for the membership at the club rooms. Students can get hands-on practice with their photo editing skills in a familiar and friendly environment; and with an experienced Adobe trainer. Better still, the cost includes a discount !
Lee will commence with ‘PHOTOSHOP FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS (Beginners)’, a 12-week evening course on Thursdays from 5th January 2017. If this pilot course runs successfully in terms of logistics, then there is a good likelihood of other courses to follow, including Lightroom. Places are being offered exclusively to BPS members and BPS Photography Course students on this occasion. Please email any queries to lee@digitaldreamdesigns.uk

Kingswood Photographic Society invite BPS members to see their speaker, Iain McCowan FRPS, who will be giving his talk, Straight From The Garden Shed. Iain says: “My talk consists of prints only (no projection) and features both colour and mono images with a heavy bias towards sets, themes and methods of presentation. Large collages (A1 or bigger) are often used but equally very small images or sets of images are also presented (don't forget your opera glasses - ed). This aspect of print presentation I feel is very important, a variation on the commonly used 50 x 40 style. As for interest, there will be images covering landscape, intimate landscape, textures, dereliction, street art, abstract and history amongst others."
Examples of Iain’s photography, can be found on the Focus Group website, and selecting ‘MEMBER GALLERIES’.
The cost for this evening is £3.00. Kingswood PS meet from 7.30pm to around 9.30pm at St Barnabas Church Hall, Warmley, Bristol BS30 5JJ.

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 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. |
