Open Shutter, a new Photography Competition

OPEN SHUTTER is an open competition for photographers run by The Photographers Lounge, a dedicated photography gallery. Twice a year, a panel of judges will review national and international photographic submissions. Three winners will then be selected to participate in the OPEN SHUTTER Showcase, a month long exhibition at The Photographers Lounge gallery in Dorset. Kicking off with a trademark opening view, these showcases will attract art and photography lovers from all over the country, and works will also be for sale on the Photographers Lounge website.

2009 SPF Exhibition at Salisbury Library

The 39th annual Southern Photographic Federation exhibition is being held in the Galleries upstairs in Salisbury Library, until the 31st of January.

On display are some 234 prints from 39 clubs from across the south, from the Channel Islands to Bognor Regis, via Reading and Newbury. Judging was undertaken by John Chamberlain APAGB,MFIAP,FRPS of Bristol.

Salisbury's panel is above; with entries from Tony Oliver, Tim Kidner, Sheila Read FRPS, Roger Ellway, Phil Clegg and Amanda Herridge. Special congratulations go to Phil Clegg for his 'Sun on the Stour' ,(bottom left) awarded 'Third Place, monochrome print.' Phil didn't show us what he'd won at the award ceremony - we hope he doesn't spend/use it all at once!

Also, for the very last time, slides, in the old-fashioned sense - some 176 of them, were shown at both the preview and at our club last Monday (12th). Digital slides take over next year.

Members are needed for stewarding throughout. A rota is held at the desk in the Gallery. It's fun as you meet not just fellow photographers but the public and you get to talk about photography - a lot! Ongoing thanks, as ever, to Peter Riley, curator of the Library Galleries.

The exhibition is open during Library hours, Monday to Saturday. Text/images:Tim Kidner

Our Summer Walk

The walk on the Nature Reserve of Parsonage Down on 14th June last was superb. Those who missed it missed a treat but you can get an impression from our small web site gallery about available HERE. There were only 6 of us.
Have a look at least.

The Herd on the Beach

This image can be seen via the Gallery page and it is quite amazing. When you get there you will find that to see the page is pretty obvious. You can zoom in to an incredible degree.
Can you find the green bottle?

If you wish to show your images in this way just send me a disc.
