Diary

A look at our entries for the NCPF, PAGB and PSA competitions including the presentation of awards and an explanation of why the images were selected. The award winning authors will be invited to talk about their successful images

I have recently had a book published about my favourite short walk in Borrowdale which contains images of the very diverse environments and the natural history en route.  It is a guided tour of the circular walk over Grange Crags to the Chinese Bridge, returning to Grange via the southern shores of Derwentwater.

I begin by showing a brief digital presentation of images showing how I started in club photography and some of which I used to gain my early photographic distinctions.  This is followed by a presentation explaining the route my images take from photo shoot to finished competition entry – showing how I constructed a successful series of images which made up my latest distinction submissions.  The images are mostly Creative / Altered Reality and include female nudity. Time permitting, I show a couple of extra powerpoint presentations where I build up some images layer by layer  - very quick but effective! The talk is digital which is loaded onto my Macbook pro but I also bring prints to supplement the talk and for members to look at during the break if they wish.
