Hi all
It will be good to get back to the serious side of photography this week. The New Year Party and the Knockout Competition were a lot of fun and gave us a chance to enjoy the social side of our hobby. This Tuesday night we have our 3rd PDI competition (Mono and Nature sections). Hopefully, you have all entered – our judge is John Bissell.
There is a discrepancy between our printed programme and the programme on our website this week, but I would like to confirm that we have an early session this week. Colin will be running a print critique evening. It’s a chance to bring along some of your print work – any size, subject, colour, mono or nature, mounted or unmounted – for an evaluation, positive critique and advice. Evenings like this will build up your confidence in your work.
This is also a reminder that the closing date for entries to Midphot is 8th February 2020. I was blown away by the quality of prints on display at the Knockout Competition last week. I have no doubt that many of the images on display would easily qualify for acceptance to Midphot. If you have never entered an external competition before, then this is a perfect one to start with. PDIs can be entered online, Colin will coordinate our prints so they are taken to Smethwick – rather than needing to post them. If you are worried about the expense it is only 75p per entry.

Good luck to all who have entered in the competition this week, and I will see you all then.
Best wishes
David
