My niece is running the London Marathon in aid of the Shine Bright Charity which was formed in memory of her sister who sadly died at the age of 32 from breast cancer. To raise funds to run the marathon she’s organised a few events. One of these is a Clubbercise event which she asked […]

PDI Annual (Jim Harrison Trophy) 2018
Paul Hill succeeded in a clean sweep tonight by being awarded the PDI of the Year, having already won the Print of the Year two weeks ago. The judge was Roger Evans MPAGB FBPE EFIAP from which we learned a great deal, especially in taking sports images, which is Roger’s specialism. Kath Hill gained first […]
Nature and Mono Print Annual Winners
We also asked Bob Brown and John Royle to comment on their section winning prints, firstly Bob The Waxwing was taken on the 29/12/2016 at Llandudno, B&Q car park. This was my third attempt in North Wales, in different areas. In the previous two attempts I had views of the Waxwings, unfortunately too distant to photograph. […]
Afon Lloer – Paul Hill BPE
We asked Paul Hill to tell us something about taking and processing his Print of the Year, Afon Lloer and he sent us this excellent account….. My photo was taken in March last year when I spent the weekend in Snowdonia. The weather forecast was terrible for most of the weekend (heavy rain) apart from […]
Print Annual: 1 Mar 2018: Geoff Reader DPAGB BPE3
Geoff Reader kindly stepped in at quite short notice when our original judge became unavailable. Geoff gave us a very interesting evening, conducting the whole thing with a calm authority, he was encouraging, exercised good club standards in assessing the prints and made some suggestions about how some processing problems could be tackled. It made […]
March’s Monthly Theme is Architecture

Some 57 clubs took part in this national competition and Martin’s was one of just three such medal’s awarded. Gaining awards in the competition is not new to […]
8 Feb 2018 – Stephen Lewis
Stephen Lewis (http://www.stevelewis.photography/index.html) presented us with one of the most interesting evenings we have experienced at CPS. He simply talked about his photographs of Iceland but he conveyed brilliantly well the deeply considered way he approached photography. His pictures were pre- planned, pre-visualised to some degree but often he had come across things which he used […]
Member’s Evening 1 Feb 2018
Martin Smith’s talk told us a lot about astro-photography but came with a warning – for photographing individual planets and other celestial objects even the most sophisticated gear will not get you anywhere near the quality likely to impress club judges! We always enjoy Martin’s engaging and relaxed style of presentation and this talk, beautifully […]
February’s Monthly Theme is Still Life
Inspired by this George Franks’ talk a few weeks ago on Still Life photography I’ve decided to give you the chance to show what you can do. George showed us how to cheaply build up a set using simple lighting and home made accessories. You don’t have to spend a lot of money and have […]
