10x10

Now if your a member of the club you probably looked at the title of next weeks meeting and wondered just what the hell it meant. I suppose that we really should explain it to you although it really is very simple. All we want is for some of you to volunteer to show around 10 images that you’ve taken and give a little talk about them. Ideally the talk and showing the images should last about 10 minutes. Hence the title 10x10. If you don’t feel like talking then maybe you could just show us the pictures. Please don’t be shy about this, after all you put your images up on Flickr for people to admire so why not put them up on the screen at the club, sit back and enjoy the “ooh’s”, “ahh’s” and “Wow’s” as each image is shown!

You can either bring the pictures in on a memory stick or, preferably, send them in via Dropbox. Go on give it a go you know you want to.

David Burnett

This week see’s us enjoying a presentation by Photographer David Burnett entitled ‘Burnett’s Baroque’. "In Burnett's Baroque, David will take us on a tour of the baroque cities and architecture of Europe, beginning in Dresden and ending in Pottsdam (Berlin), with Prague, Venice, Verona and Rome in between. David appreciates any comments and feedback during his talk."

If your into architecture or just want to see what the buildings are like in various European cities then come along and enjoy the show.

January at Reflex

It’s all change for the New Year at Reflex. After around 15 years at the Langton Court Hotel we’ve had to move. Mainly because over the last two years our membership has grown from 15 to just under 60! That’s some achievement and shows that we must be doing something right for you all to keep coming back for more. If you don’t know where our new venue is then don’t worry it’s really easy to find and is only a few hundred yards down the road from our old meeting place. Here’s a map to show you. Car parking shouldn’t be an issue as we’ve been told we’ll be able to use the playground. You can see this previous Blog post for more details on the move.

Here’s what else is happening during January.

The 5th is a practical night and we’re just putting the finishing touches to what will be the first meeting at the School. Jan 12 we have David Burnett presenting a talk called “Burnett’s Baroque”. On the 19th we give you the chance to show some of your pictures and say a few words about them in our 10x10 evening. To take part just select 10 of your pictures and think of a few words to say about each of them. I’ll give you more details closer to the date. The last meeting in January (26th) is a just for fun themed, digital projected image, competition. The theme is Self Portrait’s. So you might want to take a trip to the Hairdresser’s, put on your best clothes and figure out just what you want to look like to the rest of the world. Again, more details nearer the time. The 26th is also the entry date for the Trio Round of the R.O.C..

There’s also the January instalment of our 12 months of Reflex. This month it’s being organised by Angi Nelson and it’s going to be fantastic. So keep your eye’s peeled for more information over the next few weeks.

We are moving!!

At Reflex we've got a lot to look forward to in the New Year. Not only have we got some fantastic meetings lined up with some great speakers & Practical nights but there's the move as well.

From

January the 5th

we will be meeting at

St. Anne's School Hall

(map)

It's just a few minutes walk down the road from the Langton so there's no excuse that we've moved too far.

If you get that new camera for Christmas and want to improve your photography then come along and see if we're the club for you. 

If your wondering why we're moving then there's a very simple reason. We outgrew the room! Over the last two years we have gone from 15 members to just under 60! It's been hard work but well worth it. Our members are some of the friendliest and helpful people you could hope to meet. They are Men & Women of all shapes, ages and from all walks of life. There are people that have only just picked up a camera to those that have been taking pictures for a very long time. Also we don't care what you use to take your pictures. It can be an old Kodak from the 70's or the most modern expensive digital camera on the market. We're not camera snobs.

After all it's not the Camera but the picture that counts.
