Last week, Next week.

LAST WEEK,
We welcomed Arthur Coulson, who was for many years club member and chairman. Last November he gave up the Tyneside weather for Spain and the town of Calasparra - he was back in the UK for a family visit but made the time to come and see us and give us a presentation of an enlightening CD of Images from his fist year in his new home.

Here is one of his images - bull running !

NEXT WEEK,

We have an evening with club members Geoff & Tom giving us a demonstration of how to produce a Calendar with your own images - should be good -- so try not to miss it.

South Tyne selection - projected images

Well last night the selection committee had the tough job to select our entry of six images for the forthcoming South Tyne Projected Image competition. 

They had 80 images to select from, this was whittled down to a short list of 20 from which to select our six images. It was a difficult task but in the end they did manage to select some fine images which we hope will help us retain the trophy which we won last year.

we won't show the images  here just now but nearer the night hopefully you will see them here.

The South Tyne is this year hosted by South Shields Photographic Society, on Tuesday 25th November judged by Keith Smith LRPS.

 

What's New

Well the recent workshops went quite well David Chapman gives a much needed boost to beginners, Paul went through the basics of Flickr the photo-sharing community, whilst Jack went through the joys of Lightroom. This week we made our selection of images for the South Tyne projected image competition.

Gateshead Council happily accepted our recent grant application and we should have our cheque for £400 in the next few days - thanks to Paul for all his efforts in making a successful application.

Welcome  back to Richard, who first joined our club way back in the early 90s, he now lives just outside Madrid, Spain - but with the new digital technologies has already sent his entries for the forthcoming DPI competitions. Hope he wins as I'm top of the list to present him with a trophy or two!!
