We are now in our Summer Break and Meetings will begin again in September. Any ad-hoc meetings during the break will be arranged by email.
For details of future weeks events please see the Program page.
Old Masters
At the end of last season one of our speakers, Pat Couder, set us a challenge to produce a still life image to
mimic an 'Old Master' painting.
Joan Weston has produced this image based on 'Still Life with Silver
Jug' by Willem Kalf.
Joan admits that she doesn't have a silver jug so had to improvise with a silver
wine cooler.
Phil Hadley CPAGB BPE3*
Following 3 acceptances into the Robin Hood British Photographic Exhibition Phil has finally attained his
BPE3*. He also received an award for his 'OIL AND WATER SUNRISE' image.
Phil has decided to take a break from the BPE Circuit for a while as he is quite busy at the moment and he
would need another 100 acceptances to reach the next BPE award.
Phil also entered 20 prints and 20 PDI's into the KCPA Exhibition and managed 27 acceptances.
His image 'EARLY MORNING DEW ON MARBLED WHITE' received a PAGB Gold Medal, while an image of a fungus,
'VARIABLE OSTERLING' received a PAGB Ribbon and his spider image, 'FOUR SPOTTED ORB WEAVER' got a Highly
Commended.
Gary Stamp CPAGB
Chairman Gary Stamp entered 12 images into the KCPA Exhibition and of these 4 were accepted for the Exhibition including 'READY TO FEED' which was awarded a PAGB Gold Medal.
