Club competition judged by Keith Suddaby, FRPS (2006), MPAGB, EFIAP, ABPE
A Zip file of 48 images was sent to the well-known judge in the Photography world, Keith Suddaby. Even with his long experience, it was clearly a challenge for him to choose the winners. However, he led us through the photographs and commented on issues which make or break a photograph’s selection. Judicious cropping, perhaps, […]
Guest Speaker: Mavis Ord DPAGB of Durham Photographic Society with ‘Retrospective’.
As we helped Mavis carry her boxes of photographs into Merton Hall, we knew we were in for a special presentation, one which reflected her long independent career, as she developed her own style and her own criteria. Her images were of global origin; clearly she enjoyed seeking out those special moments in time in […]

Keeping abreast of technology

It was enlightening but in some respects a challenge when faced with ever-changing tools and software. Rod Smith, our Chairman followed this with a very useful review of our Club website and encouraged us […]
Monday’s Treasure Hunt
As we assembled, the evening was rather wet, but it was decided that we should go out and see how things went. Five teams were clutching the Question sheet, ably drawn up by Veronica.
