Club night summary – 6th June

This week we had our last competitions of the season, choosing the best colour and monochrome prints. We had 50 entries that qualified from previous competitions in the season (37 Colour and 23 Monochrome) All prints had scored 19 or 20 points in the Colour and 18 and above in the monochrome.

Our judge was the very experienced Dave Hipperson who had the difficult task of choosing the winning Images.

Congratulations to the ultimate winners of these closely fought competitions and a big thank you for all members who have entered throughout the season.

The standard has been very high this season in all competitions PDI/prints and we have had a tremendous response of entries, for every event

Club night summary – 30th May

This week we had a talk entitled ‘Masterclass’ with Jon Gray.

Jon is a professional life style, fashion and advertising photographer with over 40 years experience. His presentation was to give us a masterclass in his style of photography.

During the evening we were treated to many excellent Images from Jon’s wide ranging portfolio, which covered advertising materials such as beer and fizzy drinks to high end perfumes and jewellery. In addition his studio work with celebrities and other models.

During the evening Jon shared many tips and techniques he uses in his varied commissions, to produce top level commercial photography.

Overall a very Interesting Inspiring evening and another very good presentation we have had in this season’s programme.

Steve.
