Vocal Points

Just back from my hols in time to write another Vocal Point. I’m sorry to have missed the presentation by Darron Matthews last Tuesday – if the photos he showed were anything like the ones on his website it must have been a cracking evening. Coming up this week we have the biggest competition of the […]

Another busy week at BPS. On Tuesday, we started with an early session, presented by me, talking about lenses and their characteristics. Hopefully some of you found it useful. There are some notes I made when preparing for the talk at https://www.richardkchapman.co.uk/characteristics-of-lenses/ which go into a bit more detail. The main session was the selection process for

Another great evening at the club last Tuesday. The early session was very well attended and rightly so – a fine presentation on an interesting subject, as Ian Bowes first told us everything we needed to know about HOW to shoot “Intentional Camera Movement” (ICM) photographs, and then treated us to a gallery of some

A great evening at the club on Tuesday, with a great atmosphere (and a very full house) for the third annual “Bromsgrove Battle” inter-club competition.  A very high quality selection of images from all five clubs, with a very fair and thoughtful judge giving good feedback on all the images, together with some great cakes

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

Well, only a day late, but it is Christmas… I hope some of you learned something new at the camera clinic in the early session – if people think it was useful we could do more of the same next year… Speaking of which, please see David’s email regarding early sessions – your input on what

I hope everyone else enjoyed Monica Doshi’s presentation last Tuesday as much as I did. It features some of my favourite places and some of my favourite subjects, accompanied by a commentary on how and why each shot was taken and some of the artistic and compositional decisions associated with each shot. A most enjoyable
