Firstly, thanks to Dave Robinson for a most interesting talk on camera supports. His photographic results were testimony that we should all consider some kind of support e.g. tripods, monopods, bean bags, etc in our photography – me included! At the end of the meeting, Dave was posed with a question regarding affordable cameras with articulated screens. This is his response: “Very few in the low

We had some very creative images on Monday, especially the self-portraits. These can be viewed at: http://photography-perranuthnoe.blogspot.com/ We welcomed Glen as a new member and she produced some very good work for the topics. Derek also gave us a very interesting ’10 minute talk’ on some of the images he has taken and prepared, for the topics, since joining the club. Our new topic is ‘

­Dear All, In my opinion, Monday’s meeting was the best one so far especially with everyone getting involved with the critiques. Great fun! A variety of images were submitted which can be viewed at http://photography-perranuthnoe.blogspot.com/. The new projector screen is a huge bonus for showing off our images. I hope you all agree. Alfred also gave us a very interesting ’10 minute talk’

A smaller group this week, as quite a few people were away, but we welcomed a potential new member, Mike Polly. If he decides to join, it will bring our number to 34 and there will be just one space left before we start a waiting list. The new ‘In the Street’ subject produced quite a good response. Derek Brown and Barry Fellows kept us entertained with their new Photoshop skills. All images

We now have over 30 paid up members and as reported last month, we are regularly getting an average 20 members at each meeting. I also receive several enquiries each month from prospective new members. Therefore, on Monday it was decided that we would now restrict membership, for now, to 35 and maintain a waiting list for any potential new members. The ‘Work’ subject produced a good response and

This week, we welcomed another new member, Dave Painter, and he showed us some of his impressive photographs taken on a trip to New Zealand. We look forward to seeing more of his images. We have subsequently received an email from Dave giving thanks to the warm welcome he received. We had the largest response to our set subject with 48 images being submitted which provided a lot of inspiration.

A good turnout on Monday 21 February and a thoroughly enjoyable DVD film featuring renowned photographer, James Ravillious and his work in a Devon village. Thanks Lynne and Derek for bringing this along. I’m sure, like me, a lot of us were inspired by his work. I think Still Life was a difficult subject however it gave us a variety of images and ideas and again the customary laughs. All images

It was nice to see one of our highest turnouts to date with 24 attendees and to welcome another new potential member – Dave Robinson. It was again another thoroughly enjoyable evening.

It was nice to see so many of our members and to welcome some new potential members – Victoria, Lesley, Benjamin, Clive, Derek, Barry and Joyce - for our first evening in the newly refurbished Church Room on Monday 10 January. Everyone appeared to thoroughly enjoy the evening and especially our ‘What is it?’ mini competition. Well done to Lynne and Derek for their winning entries which kept us

On Monday 25 October, there was a good variety of photographs from the set subject of ‘Movement’ albeit quite a few abstract ones! We also had a good discussion and constructive critique. These photographs have now been uploaded to Flikr and can be seen at:http://www.flickr.com/photos/26740423@N02/ There are a couple of matters to advise:1. As you know, our next meeting will be on Monday 15

Monday evening was well attended despite being Bank Holiday. The images from the field trip were varied and imaginative. Those from ‘A Night Out’ were also creative and as usual James Williams gave us a good laugh with his result (see http://www.flickr.com/photos/organize/ Now a few dates for your diary.On Monday 14 June 2010 at 7.30pm there will a preview to a slide show entitled ‘Discover

It appears the St Hilary field trip was a winner. We've had some good feed back with some wanting to return under their own steam and others wanting to do something similar again. We look forward to seeing the results. Although let's hopethere is several different takes on the image taken by some of our members! - See attached image.We take this opportunity to welcome our newest and youngest

Our last meeting produced some excellent images representing ‘No Photoshop’. It was very tempting to do a bit of cropping, sharpening, etc but I think we all resisted and played by the rules.I would also like to take this opportunity to welcome our newest (and 23rd) member, Helen Simpson. She has joined us after attending just one meeting. We must be doing something right! Welcome Helen.All

This latest project was a significant challenge for us all. However, the results and in some cases their titles show how creative everyone is becoming. Some great images - many gave us a good laugh - and that's what it's all about. Continue being creative and most of all have fun.
