Wednesday sees a return visit by Sheila Haycox ARPS DPAGB EFIAP and John Perriam, when they present their talk - An evening with Sheila & John. This promises to be an evening of audio visuals and digital images, ranging from narrative AVs to photo harmony and light hearted presentations. |
Next Monday, 10 November, is the monthly meeting of the DI Group. As usual all (members) are welcome to this informal gathering to discuss each others' images and digital problems. Please bring along images to share with everyone, either prints or jpegs (memory stick only please). Ashwin hopes to continue with the technical tips spot, which this month is on the subject of
Adjustment Layers. |

Proposed New Clubrooms - Update
|
The saga of the property at Montpelier drags on. Following months of what seemed like total inactivity from the solicitors on both sides, we actually reached the point at the end of October where we thought everything was agreed and that we would be able to exchange contracts. However, this happy moment was short lived, as it now transpires that the chap selling Montpelier and buying 12 West Mall has a loan application riding on the conversion of West Mall to a flat; the loan company have told him that the loan cannot be agreed until planning consent has been granted for the change of use of West Mall from a meeting room to residential (he proposes converting the property into a 2 bed flat) and this has not (at the time of writing this) been applied for. As you can imagine, this whole thing has thrown our plans into disarray with the planned completion date being moved from mid December to mid January.
On a more positive note, we do expect to exchange contracts before the end of this month and it has been agreed that we can now send the surveyor in to carry out a full survey of the property and this will happen within the next week or so. This means that we should be able to agree what works will need to be carried out and also the final layout of the new clubrooms.

Constructing Worlds: Photography and Architecture in the Modern Age - The Barbican, London Until 11 January 2015
Constructing Worlds brings together eighteen exceptional photographers from the 1930s to the present day who have changed the way we view architecture and perceive the world around us.
From the first skyscrapers in New York and decaying colonial structures in the Congo, to the glamorous suburban homes of post-war California, and the modern towers of Venezuela, we invite you on a global journey through 20th and 21st century architecture.
Featuring over 250 works, this exhibition highlights the power of photography in revealing hidden truths in our society.
Full details, follow this link.
Arena Photographers at Sidcot School. I mentioned this exhibition before, but as it's on until 13 December I felt it worth repeating. Some members have already visited it and report back that it is more than worth a visit. For full details of times etc, please visit the Sidcot website.

It's a double fanfare this week. Two of our members, Mike Bigger and Mark Stanton have both gained their LRPS distinctions (although these awards are subject to ratification by the RPS), and both chaps deserve a round of applause - well done!
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. |
|
Items will remain in this section for one month from the date of insertion or until notification of sale, whichever is the sooner.
|
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.
|
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
