What a great evening we had last Tuesday. The early session from David J was very well attended and contained a wealth of information on how to take a flat image straight from the camera and transform it into something with much more pop and presence, with just a few simple changes that can be […]

It was great to see so many of you at the New Year party last Tuesday – I had a good time and judging by the feedback that has been posted, so did everyone else! One of the strengths of BPS is that it’s more than just a photography club… This coming Tuesday we have

Happy New Year! This year’s BPS sessions start with a bang, with the New Year party on Tuesday January 7th. Featuring a quiz run by Beks (with a prize for the winning team) and catering organized by Ele (you should already have placed your order for food), it promises to be a great night. I will be

A quick note this week. Firstly, I’m sure you all know there is no meeting tomorrow. Next meeting is on January 7th, and is the New Years Party. Secondly, please see the notes from Dug re the tea rota, and sign up if you have not done so already. It’s only once or twice per year

If you HAVE been out taking photos of the storm – especially at the coast – please remember to stay safe! Last week’s knockout competition was a lot of fun

Last week’s print competition gave our judge a really difficult task, having to try to select the winners from such a range of very different – but all excellent in their own way – images. Perhaps he seemed like he was nit-picking occasionally, but I suspect when you have so many great images the only way

I hope everyone enjoyed last week’s session on lighting as much as I did. It was a bit chaotic at times but I certainly learned quite a bit about different ways to light a model and the impact that lighting decisions can make on the final image. Many thanks to Colin for organizing it and to

Well, another week and another attempt to find suitable superlatives to describe yet another brilliant evening at BPS last Tuesday. I’m going to have to buy a new thesaurus… Lucinda Grange’s presentation was captivating and her photos and escapades awe-inspiring (in the literal sense). Some of those images made my knees go weak just looking at them… I
