Afternoon All
Lewis and I hope you are all safe and well and is this Omicron on its way out? About time!
Many thanks to Rhona and Tim for publishing the ‘Creatures and Plants of the World Cup Competition’ results, judged by Harry Emmett, onto our Facebook page and our website page, respectively; so promptly and very much appreciated.
Competition Prints.
Competition rule number 6 states: ‘Prints must be mounted, include a title and the Club member’s Competition Number. The maximum mount size is 40cm x 50cm’.
In future as well as the title and the club members number, please write the words ‘Monochrome OR Colour’, as confirmation of its category. Now, it the vast majority of cases it will be obvious, but every now and again it perhaps isn’t quite as clear; many thanks.
This Wednesday 19th January: we have a workshop preceded by a showing of the prints and digital images chosen by Stan and his team (Anne and Mike) for the J36 ‘Battle’. As explained in previous newsletters, J36 Photography Society are unable to do ‘Battle’ with us. However, because Stan and team and members have taken the time and trouble to ‘put-things-together’ we have decided to still go ahead with the presentation. It will also be an opportunity for Stan to explain his choices!
The actual workshop is dedicated to members who wish to show their images (anonymously), with some very constructive and positive criticism that can often be very beneficial and help to improve any photographs.
Images can be sent to mike via his email (mikejenner17@gmail.com) or free, via Wetransfer. Also, any questions or help should be directed to Mike.
Deadline for images is Tuesday 18th January.
Zoom: For Stan’s presentation, we will endeavour to use zoom, but the actual prints may pose a problem. We will try our best! The digital images will be shown via screen share as will the critiques of members images.
January 26th: No meeting
February 2nd: We have the judging of the ‘Humanity Cup Competition’ by Jim Cunningham ‘live’ in the Arts Centre.
February 9th: We will have a presentation by Jeremy Malley-Smith on Scottish wildlife.
February 16th: As mentioned last week instead of the J36 ‘Battle’ Robin has very kindly offered to do 2 presentations. One will be on The Falklands and the second will be on Nepal. Lewis and I would like to take this opportunity to thank Robin for ‘stepping-into-the breach’ so to speak at short notice – thanks Robin!
Slide-Scanner.
Lewis and I are sure someone mentioned that they had a slide scanner that they were willing to lend out; unfortunately, perhaps due to the ageing process, neither of us can remember! If you are this member, would you please get in touch – Ta!
