Saintes Exhibition and Wiltshire Life

In 1990 and 1991 Salisbury Camera Club put on an exhibition in Salisbury twin city of Saintes. At that time we had a good deal of interaction with Saintes. Sheila and I visited the city and met their camera club and went to their own exhibition. I remember being quite amazed at some of the photos of insects. The quality was outstanding. Far better than anything we have seen in the UK. But we have lost contact it seems. Who speaks passable French? Perhaps we could try opening up the channel of communication again? Saintes city is a rather good place to visit with lots of Roman remains and a lovely river. See HERE
I have included the posters advertising these shows HERE
Also a cutting from Wiltshire Life magazine showing our work from the Wiltshire cup in 2004 HERE

RPS Digital Group Success

On the 19th April at the RPS Dig group's AGM and Exhibition selection Peter Read's image of Heidi was Highly Commended and he was presented with the RPS Ribbon.

Heidi is a dog that belongs to Sally and the photograph was taken on a Club outing to her farm in 2006. It is an Infra Red photograph and can be seen HERE.

Sheila Read got a print accepted Sand Sea & Sky and Peter got a second photo accepted called Creek Men.

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.

A H Jefferd Print from 1957

By an amazing fluke Sarah Shelley came across this print in a second hand shop in Tisbury. From the information on the back we can see it was accepted for the 1957 Salisbury CC International Exhibition as entry no. 109.
You can see the print reproduced on our web site both as a small and very large image.

Thank you Sarah.

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

Well Done Phil

Congratulation to your member Phil Clegg for coming third in the individual Mono Print Class with "Sun on the Stour". The SPF Exhibition was judged today Sunday.

Wiltshire Open" annual summer exhibition.

Congratulations to Tim for his latest award.I am quite pleased to say that my "Misty River Bird" photo that won me the Wiltshire Trophy with the club tw
o years ago, has been selected for and is now being exhibited at the Salisbury Libraries "Wiltshire Open" annual summer exhibition.

Even though essentially an art exhibition, open to all Wiltshire based artists, I submitted a framed photograph (as well as two other 'art' works, both selected, too). This year sees an overall increase in photographs (about 8 - last year, 4 or so). It runs from tomorrow, Saturday 9th August until the 30th. Entry is free.

See a photographic report HERE

Prints put forward for the PAGB Inter-fed Competition

After all the concern of not knowing how many prints we would receive, we had in excess of 350 colour prints, and over 100 monochrome prints from these we only needed 22 of each, so it was a tough selection process for Jack, George & Ian, where the standard of work was incredibly high.

We would like to thank your members for putting work forward for consideration, and are pleased to be able to tell you that on this occasion the panel selected Tony Olivers' St. Brelade's Churchyard.

Honoured by the SPF

Both Sheila and Peter Read were honoured on Friday 4th January 2008 at the opening of the SPF Exhibition at our Library.
Besides Sheila getting a Highly Commended for Dahlia Dance and Peter getting Third Place for his monochrome print Train at Chama they were also presented with the SPF Roll of Honour. This was a total surprise to them both but they suspect that Tony and Richard may know something about how it was organised.

Presenting the awards is Ian Bigg President of the SPF who was also given the Roll of Honour again much to his surprise and delight.

The two photographs mentioned can be seen on the 29th November 2007 news item below here.

Success for two members in the SPF Exhibition

Sheila and Peter Read have both had success in the forthcoming Southern Photographic Federation Exhibition.

Sheila got a Highly Commended for her picture of Dahlia Dance.

Whilst Peter got Third Place for his photograph called Train at Chama. This photograph is also being used in the Viewfinders of Romsey Camera Club entry and for the poster to advertise the exhibition.

PAGB Digital Cup

This is for our whole club to enter. So we shall need at least 8 members offering their images for inclusion. We could use some images from the competition entries of the 26th November possibly. So this competition would be a good introduction to this sort of photography. But the exact image specification will not be known until after 1st November.

Club what do you think? Add comments here.
