Print 1 2016 Judged by Brian Law ARPS CPAGB
Very probably the best League print entry we have had. It wasn’t just the number, though 86 was impressive enough, it was the ever increasing quality, variety and, yes, courage displayed in those entries. I really wish I could have lead a discussion about the prints with the judge because I knew exactly how the authors […]
Meeting 15 Oct 2015 – Gary Waidson DPAGB HND – Wor
What a superb demonstration! Gary used two projectors to present a flawless and lucid exposition of the way blending modes worked and the how he used layers to enhance his pictures. Such was his command of the software that I think it easily ranked with Barry Beckham and Barry Calquhoun in quality of presentation. Gary’s […]

A great night with Lastolite
The season kicked off last night (Thursday 3 September) with a visit by Keith Sanderson who showed us a range of Lastolite products, including a couple of items only released that very day! Studio workers felt particularly at home, but there was much for all of us. Keith explained, for example, how a reflector can […]
Member Spotlight: Kath Hill
Continuing our review of the most successful club members this year we turn to Kath Hill whose “In The Thick of It” (top, right) was one of the first pictures of the season to make me say “Now, that is something!”, the atmosphere in the shot is great and the fact that there is such […]
