Guest Speaker: John Hoskins

This Thursday we have a talk from John Hoskins covering the last twenty or so years of Club Photography. Starting in the Darkroom and following his transition to digital. His early failures, those that have survived and those he’s recently had some success with. It should be a great talk and John would love a bit of audience participation, so he’s open to questions & comments during the talk. Although that doesn’t mean you can have a full blown conversation with the person sitting next to you. If you’d like to see some of John’s work before Thursday then just follow this link to his Flickr ‘stream.

Mpix Results

I’m pleased to say Barrie Tovey & Ian Coombs both had acceptances into the Mpix Competition this year. Barrie had two pictures accepted, Red Kite Stoop and Torso. Whilst Ian had one acceptance called “Well I Like It”. But it meant he’s managed a life long ambition of having a rat picture actually get into an exhibition.

Debbie Young

Last night we had a great talk by Debbie Young. Despite some technical problems (the laptop is currently in the middle of the road on fire after being doused in petrol!) it went well. It was great to see some of the equipment she used in her underwater photography and I know quite a few of you enjoyed looking at her photographs especially the street photography.

I’d just like to take this opportunity to thank Debbie for coming along and giving us a great presentation.

Guest Speaker, Debbie Young

I have an apology to make to Debbie Young and whoever did take the photograph that was up here. it seems somehow a couple of emails have been mixed up and the wrong information was being shown here. I'm really sorry for the mix up and am trying to find Debbie's email with her image that she gave permission for us to use on the Blog.
At this weeks meeting we have a guest speaker, Debbie Young.  If you want to see some more of her work before Thursday then you can visit her Flickr site.
