Happy New Year to all CPS members. I’m sure we’re all looking forward to enjoying our photography in 2019. What better way to do this than to have a tasty meal. However, just before you eat it why not take an appertising photograph of it and enter it in January’s Monthly Theme of Food Photography. […]
December’s Monthly Theme is Shapes
This month’s theme is all about the shapes and lines that make up your photograph. Show us some of your photographs that use these elements to create an interesting composition. Then, if you wish discuss the photograph with us or just let us enjoy it. The subject matter is open so get your thinking caps […]
November’s Monthly Theme is Autumn
Here’s a good excuse to get out and about and show us what autumn means to you. It could be the glorious colours or perhaps you can show it in a different way.
October’s Monthly Theme is People
I know I’m a bit early which makes a change from being late, but I’ll be away on 1st. October so I’m doing this now. We all take photos of people and have them in our collection. Perhaps you have some that didn’t quite come off and would like some advice from our experienced members. […]
September’s Monthly Theme is Happiness
I’m looking forward to attending our first meeting of the new season next Thursday 8th. September. The happy feeling seemed to be a good subject for a monthly theme topic. Sometimes we take photography to seriously so here’s an opportunity for you to so us your funny pictures or just ones that make us smile.
August’s Monthly Theme is ‘Shutter speed for Effec

July’s Monthly Theme is ‘Round and Red’
Again Ron Smith has kindly supplied for with the challenging monthly theme of ‘Round and Red’. This one will test your imagination to come up with something a bit different. We’ve extended our special offer of allowing photographs from any time.
June’s Monthly Theme – 50 Metres from your front d
You don’t have to go far to take a picture for June’s theme. Less than 50 metres in fact. I phoned Ron Smith and he recommended this theme as he had successfully used it when he used to set us his assignments. You don’t have to go far and there’s no restriction on when the photograph […]
May’s Monthly Theme is Warm
We’ve decided to remove the restriction on when your ‘Warm’ themed photographs were taken so browse your archives and for your warm photos and share them with other members. Upload as many as you wish to May’s Monthly theme in your Forum. If anyone wants to see Ian’s document on uploading images to a post, please […]
April’s monthly theme is ‘Opposites’
April’s theme is chosen to make us think a bit harder of how to photograph the concept of opposites. The scope is wide and once you start thinking the ideas will flow. Show us what you can come up with.
