Family photographs, lovingly passed around, kept in wallets, displayed in bright light, often end up in a parlous state, faded, cracked, creased and stained. Digital photography of course provides the possibility of recovery and repair, and with patience and skill they can even look better that they did originally. George has acquired great skill over […]
Meeting 4 February 2016
Thanks to Dave & Sharon Barton who organised the viewing of some Photographers Academy tutorials this week. We also took the time to discuss a number of matters, some of which will be the subject of announcements in the near future.
Crewe – Mid-Cheshire – Whitchurch Inter-Club Compe
I’ve often thought that the opportunity of meeting our neighbouring club members and seeing their work is the enjoyable part of these competitions. To me at least, who wins is of secondary importance. This view was bourne out last night when the judge, Peter Siviter DPAGB EFIAP, didn’t manage to make it. We still had […]
Stephen Lewis ARPS – Time-Lapse Photography – (28/
What is the difference in brightness between full daylight and a starry night? In the case of a time-lapse that Stephen Lewis ARPS was planning, 22 stops. Each stop is a doubling of the light entering the camera. As the camera clicks away at, say 10-second intervals, for half a day, how are you going […]

Monochrome: A Talk by Peter Hrebien (14 January ’1
Peter and Vicky Hrebien have joined us this year, having moved up from East Anglia. They both have a lot of club experience, most recently with Bury St Edmunds PS. They both impressed us enormously with their first entries in one of our competitions and it was clear that Peter enjoys music photography, often […]
Second Competition for Projected Photos – Darrell
It was good to welcome Darrell Oakden back to judge for us. He is a member of Alsager CC and has had considerable success in nationals in recent times, quickly gaining BPE3* and a DPAGB. Montages figure quite a bit in his own work but he proved last time to be open-minded in looking at […]
PAGB Print Exhibition: Crewe Member’s Print Select
During our first meeting of 2016 we had the opportunity to celebrate the fact that Wallace Baxter LRPS has a print in the PAGB Exhibition currently at the Williamson Art Gallery in Birkenhead. The print was “Mature Rider” which we had all enjoyed when Wallace used it in our own competitions but when we entered […]
