Vocal Points

Another enjoyable evening last Tuesday at the club.  First we had an excellent early session from Al Haden all about critiquing and mentoring. As well as describing the support that the club has for offering critique and mentoring to anyone that would like it, he gave some excellent examples of how to critique a photograph, […]

Well what a treat we had last Tuesday with the presentation from John Sheridan – a stunning set of photographs and great commentary. I particularly liked the way all the images in each panel worked together so well, and I know from the feedback others have given that the information about how each image was achieved

Last week’s Q&A session seemed to be well received, with plenty of useful comments and suggestions from the floor as well as questions. The early session on entering competitions was also very popular – thanks to Nick and David for organising that. Good to see more new members too! This coming Tuesday we have a

It’s been quite a busy week for the BPS summer programme, and lots of other stuff to talk about, so this might be a bit longer than usual. The Chinese meal in Evesham last Tuesday was enjoyed by all that attended, as far as I can tell from the reports I have received – I’m

It’s been another busy week for BPS members on the summer programme, with a trip to Trench Wood last Tuesday and a trip to Chasewater yesterday. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to go to Trench Wood, but I am told it was well attended. There were 8 or 9 of us at Chasewater, and I think

Last week’s trip to Worcester old cemetery was very well attended – by photographers at least, if not by wildlife, which seemed a little scarce. However, I did get to see a fox, a spider eating a bee, and some very delicious blackberries. Those who went equipped for non-wildlife shots got some great photos of
