Vocal Points

Another exciting week at the club last week, with Jenny’s discussion on photographic distinctions followed by the MCPF travelling portfolio. There were some brilling images included, and some thoughtful commentary (and some weird sound effects). Not forgetting of course the highlight of the evening – the fire drill! Thanks everyone for your cooperation on this. It […]

Unfortunately I missed last week’s meeting due to illness – I hope it went well and everyone enjoyed it. I expect to see lots of pictures of horses in next year’s competitions! This week we have another early session from Jenny, this time on how to gain photographic distinctions. In case any newer members are

Another successful model night last Tuesday, with a variety of outfits from the ever-reliable Elise and her friend Vic. It was well attended and I know for quite a few new members it was their first experience of shooting models. I hope everyone had a good time – please remember to send the models an

Well, by all accounts I missed another cracking evening last Tuesday. The feedback from members (and the feedback from the presenter which Jan has forwarded) was unanimously positive, with the word “inspirational” appearing more than once.

A fantastic result for BPS in the competition on Tuesday night, with teams from Bromsgrove taking the top two places!

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

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
