Digital Do’s & Don’ts
We have often had Tillman Kleinhans visit us to judge our competitions. His popularity stems from the entertaining way he talks about the work and our confidence in his judgement. This week Tillman was with us as a lecturer to tell the fascinating story of his adventures in digital photography starting from his school purchasing […]
A Visit to Africa!
We are fortunate at Crewe PS to have in our midst one of the most successful and experienced safari photographers in the UK; Ian Whiston DPAGB BPE 3*.

Distinctions
Congratulations to Martin McGing on gaining his CPAGB last weekend. A number of our members have PAGB & RPS awards and also awards gained from getting acceptances in competitions such as the FIAP and BPE distinctions. I don’t think anyone has Photographic Society of America distinctions but those too are awarded for acceptance in competitions. If […]

Experienced international exhibitor, Tremaine Cornish said of our print entries when he judged them on 5th December that many would do well in internationals. Tremaine holds the EPSA from the Photographic Society of America and the EFIAP award from the Federation Internationale d’Arts Photographique, together with 3 crowns from the national circuit – the British […]
Alsager CC v Crewe PS Inter-Club Competition
We expected our competition with Alsager CC this year to be a hotly contested affair and it certainly was, with lots of excellent work on show. You are in an invidious position praising the judge when you are on the winning side but Graham Johnston ARPS AFIAP did an excellent job of assessing the images […]
