Pink Lady Food Photographer of the Year 2021 Shortlist

Don't forget to send your entries for our next club competition to Paul Dyer by Wednesday, April 14th, in time for the competition itself on Wednesday, April 21st 2021.

Springtime photos

For our meeting on Wednesday April 7th we met via Zoom to view members' photos taken on the theme of Spring. This was an informal view and chat, rather than a competition, which was very pleasant and allowed us all to see the lovely photos that our members had taken this springtime. We also welcomed new member, Tracy Walsh, to her first meeting.
Our next meeting, Wednesday April 21st, is the final internal competition on the them of "Tranquility". Please get your three digital images to Paul Dyer as soon as possible and no later than April 14th!
Our next talk will be Will Goodlett speaking about African Wildlife photography on Wednesday May 5th.

WCPF Members' Exhibition

The results are out and it is congratulations to Meyrick (6) and Brian (3) on their acceptances into this year's exhibition. Meyrick has done particularly well in having all 4 of his Open images accepted as well as a couple of Nature images. Brian had 3 of his Open images accepted. The competition from 2020 was put on hold with members able to update their digital entries for 2021 but the prints are held over from 2020 to see if they can be judged at some time in the future.
The full results can be seen from the WCPF Members' Exhibition website

Elke Vogelsang - Pet Photography

Once again our club was treated to a wonderful presentation by our guest speaker. Elke talked us through how she got into photography and then into photographing her dogs. This in turn led to her becoming known worldwide for the humour she finds in her dog images. From this start Elke has built up her photography business into one that can sustain her family, including the dogs, full time as a commercial and editorial photographer.
Elke spoke so well and provided so many helpful ideas for us all to take forwards with our own photography. Elke has donated her talk fee to our local Somerset and Dorset Animal rescue charity which, we are sure, will be very grateful to her as are we for a wonderful presentation.

A number of non-camera club members joined us for Elke's talk. Our next speaker is Will Goodlett from South Africa telling us about his photography of South African Wildlife on Wednesday May 5th 2021 at 7.30pm. If you would like to join us for the talk, at a cost of £5, then please get in touch with our Treasurer.

Our next meeting is on Wednesday April 7th at 7.30pm where we will be reviewing our images of Spring. Make sure you have sent these in to Paul Dyer by March 31st.

Stumbling around in the dark

On Wednesday March 10th the members of Wincanton Camera Club, along with friends from Sherborne-Bradford Abbas Club, welcomed Robert Harvey BA ARPS EFIAP to speak to us about astrophotography. Robert is a prolific author of photography books and delivers many courses for photographers of landscapes, nature / wildlife as well as astrophotography. His website is https://www.naturalworldphotography.net/.
Robert beguiled us with his wonderful photographs and commentary as he took us around local neolithic sites lit by moonlight with the planets and stars above. We were talked through his settings and shown constellations, the Milky Way, Comets, Meteors, Lunar eclipses, Solar eclipses, and the Aurora Borealis. All of these images taken with equipment accessible for the average club photographer.
Our very appreciative thanks to Robert.

Our next speaker, in two weeks time, is the international dog photographer, Elke Vogelsang. Elke's website is https://elkevogelsang.com/. Do come along and join us. Non-members' tickets can be purchased from our Treasurer at the cost of just £5.

Culpepper's Dish

For those looking at possible sites for good woodland photography, Meyrick has suggested Culpepper's Dish, Briant's Puddle, Dorchester, DT2 7HZ. Having just looked it up, there seems plenty to go and see including the famous sink-hole, which is called Culpepper's Dish, as well as woodland, heathland and lots of interesting wildlife.

Knightshayes Trophy - WCPF Saturday March 6th

The Western Counties Photographic Federation (WCPF) held their AGM and then conducted the judging of the Knightshayes Trophy. Club members from throughout the West of England were invited to enter up to 2 images on the theme of "Togetherness". This would normally have been a print competition with the images mounted on the wall but this year, for obvious reasons, it was decided to judge the images virtually. Of the 179 images entered our member, Brian Stubbs, had two photos longlisted and of these "Blonde and her Bay" was awarded a Highly Commended. Third place went to Penny Piddock of Dorchester for "School Friends" , second place was Carole Zimmerman of Warminster for "Remember say nothing" and the trophy for 1st place was won by Rachel Domleo of Bristol for "Helpless and frightened".
Our thanks to the WCPF, for managing this competition and ensuring that it could happen, and to Nick Bodle who as Chairman of WCPF performed the duties of judge. Next year's topic will be "Simplicity".

Image processing using Photoshop by Meyrick Griffith-Jones - Wednesday March 3rd

This was an extra evening squeezed into our usual programme. Meyrick took us through some of the processing he uses so effectively with Photoshop to produce the stunning images he submits to our competitions and to International Salons. We were treated to the complexity of mask selections, black and white point setting, using two layers to tinker with image luminosity, methods of dodging and burning, split toning, and implementing the Orton Effect. Even for those of us who may have been overpowered by the wealth of information there were still points that we could take away. Thank you Meyrick.

Link to Meyrick's notes.

Our next meeting, on March 10th, is a talk by Robert Harvey entitled "Stumbling around in the dark" about Astro Photography with a DSLR. Watch out for the Zoom link being sent to you.

Royal Photographic Society Digital Imaging Group Print Exhibition 2021

The selection for this exhibition took place on Sunday February 28th. Despite current restrictions print images were submitted, along with digital copies, and can be viewed by clicking on the link RPS DIG Exhibition 2021

Third internal Club Competition - February 24th Open

Our third competition of the season was an Open theme so any images could be included. The standard of the images entered was very high, presenting our judge, John Tilsley, with a challenge to score them all and speak to each image via our Zoom system. This was clearly the case when John held over 9 images for further comment and reflection before awarding just one mark of 20/20. Our great thanks to John for giving us his time once again. To see the images for this competition click here.

Processing your images for impact by Meyrick Griffith-Jones

We have an additional evening for our club programme. Meyrick is going to take us through how he processes some of his images using Photoshop, but the techniques are applicable whatever editing software you use. Watch out for the Zoom link being sent to your e-mail accounts. The evening will be on Wednesday March 3rd at the usual time - start at 7.30pm.

Camera Club in the Blackmore Vale printed Magazine

Arena Zoom Seminar 2021

Our recent speaker, Polina Plotnikova, made us aware of a forthcoming event - The Arena Zoom Seminar 2021 on Saturday March 6th between 10am and 4.30pm. Seminar speakers include Polina, Sue Brown FRPS, Tony Worobiec FRPS, and Tom Way. Arena is a group of "Photographers from the South" promoting their work. One member of this group is Paul Mitchell FRPS who will be one our club's speakers on May 26th.

Polina Plotnikova talk - Wednesday Feb 10th

What a great presentation we had from Polina. We welcomed guests from Sherborne & Bradford Abbas club plus individuals from other clubs who joined us for this talk. Polina outlined her background which included studying History of Art at Moscow University and then working at Christie's in London dealing with photography archives and exhibitions. She then went on to discuss her inspiration from classical artists throughout the ages and how they influenced her work. We were treated to many examples of her Flower photography, Still Life and Not so Still Life. Polina talked us through her setups and how she achieved the effects she wanted at the same time as fielding questions. Polina is now a judge for the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) garden photography competition, having previously won this competition herself, and is also a recent winner of the Pink Lady Food photography competition. We were privileged to have her as a speaker.

Our next meeting, on February 24th, will be our internal competition round 3 - Open Theme. Please make sure you have got your entries in to Paul Dyer.

WCPF Digital Projected Image Competition 2021

Western Counties Photographic Federation Digitally Projected Image Competition (DPIC)

This impressive event will take place on Sunday February 7th and opens online at 9.30am.

At the conclusion of proceedings the club scores, because this is a club competition, will be displayed and individual prizes awarded.
The agenda for the day is available by clicking here.
To join the event on the day simply click on the link already e-mailed to club members. Also, see our Facebook page.

The event is free and an educational experience in that you can see how experienced judges view and mark the images submitted by clubs throughout the South West of England.

Mike's photographic subjects ranged from Flowers, Macro work, Creative Still Life, Portraiture, Slow and Fast Shutter speed images, Nature photography (Birds), War Time themed events in Pickering and Steam Train photography on the North Yorkshire Moors line. All of our members found something of interest and creative ideas in Mike's talk. Our grateful thanks to Mike.

Your club selection committee have selected the 18 images from those you submitted for our club entry to the Digitial Projected Image Competition (DPIC) to be held virtually this year.

It is worth seeing this event to gain an understanding of the judging process and the standard of image required to score well. See the WCPF-DPIC 2021 page for details. Keep an eye out for login instructions.

The Knightshayes Trophy 2021 is another competition coming up in which our members have had some success previously.

Themed Competition - Ruins

On Wednesday December 9th we had our second internal competition of our season. This was a themed competition with the subject being ruins. We had a strong entry from our members each entering 3 images to be assessed by our judge for the evening, Mike Barnard from Bridlington. Mike chose to judge the images "live" using Zoom so our members were able to listen to Mike's comments and view images as they were assessed. Our thanks to Mike for this. Jim Eastaugh and Michael Anthony both scored a maximum 20 for one of their images. Congratulations to them.
To view all the images submitted go to our Photographs page and follow the links. To see the scores for each image go to our Club info page and follow the link to our 2020 competition results.

Our next meeting is our second competition on Wednesday December 9th

Don't forget that our next meeting is on Wednesday December 9th and will be the second of our internal club competitions. This one has the theme "Ruins" and will be assessed by an external judge online. It is always useful to have an opinion on the quality of our images from someone other than family and friends. Our images are awarded a mark out of 20 but it is often the judge's critical comments on how our images can be improved that is most helpful. Don't miss this opportunity to learn from an experienced judge even if you haven't submitted images. Keep an eye out for the joining instructions in your e-mail box.

Paul Dyer - Local Wildlife - Zoom meeting Wednesday December 2nd

We started our meeting early at 7pm so members could have an informal chat, as we would have done in a physical meet up, and then we were treated to a very interesting talk by club member, Paul Dyer, who showed a wonderful selection of his images. We were able to question Paul about his settings and locations which was very informative.
We then discussed upcoming talks and the need to get our submissions for DPIC selection in to Paul as Competition Secretary as soon as possible. Our club did very well to come mid-order out of all the camera clubs in the South West of England last year and would like to better that this coming Spring.

Meyrick Griffith-Jones - Landscape locations

We were treated to an excellent talk by Meyrick looking at his collected landscape photos from various locations around the South-West. Not only were we treated to some top notch images but Meyrick was able to talk through how he captured them, the settings, timings and places. The talk clearly showed us that you have to put the work in to get the images you want which can mean lots of early mornings and evenings. Meyrick has also done a great deal of research to achieve what he has done. Thank you Meyrick!

Various News items

Our next club meeting via Zoom is on Wednesday November 18th at 7.30pm when Meyrick Griffith-Jones will talk about local locations for landscape photography and show us some of his excellent images. Watch out for the club zoom link coming into your e-mail boxes.

Club member wins Silver at Wyvern International Salon

Salons are basically photographic competitions open to all. Most of these accept around 25% of the entered images into their exhibitions so it is quite an achievement to have images accepted never mind be in the hunt for an award. To win one of the major awards is something else altogether. Our member, Meyrick Griffith-Jones, has recently enjoyed success at the Wyvern International 2020 where he had 3 images accepted and came away with a Silver award in the Landscape Mono class for "Kirkstone pass the struggle" . Our heartiest congratulations to Meyrick.
