This Monday we welcome Steve Burton to the Society.
Steve will be presenting in the first half of the meeting (the second half is our motion/movement ‘just for fun’ competition).
With a career starting in Fleet Street over 30 years ago Steve has worked for many of the national news titles and had numerous front pages.
The career of a Fleet Street photographer has changed massively in this time and Steve will present his story of his time during the changing nature of the newspaper world which also embraces the massive changes in technology during this time.
Expect a presentation full of anecdotes from the decades, some of which won’t be suitable for a family audience!!
Rose West, Rev Paul Flowers, Tottenham Riots, Jihadi John and many more.
It’s the first time Steve has presented to a photographic society and it should be very interesting, and a little different to many talks.
The E17 Art Trail runs from the 30th May until the 14th June 2015 and we are pleased to announce that the Walthamstow & District Photographic Society will again be supporting the festival.
The Trail is a great community led art event with over 250 exhibitions and events taking place over the two weeks the trail is running.
After a number of years the WDPS have moved location from the Central Library and are now exhibiting in the Rose and Crown on Hoe Street.
Our exhibition is situated to the rear of the pub on the right hand side towards the ‘Red Room’. We are displaying 22 photos from 20 members of the Society which reflect the diverse styles of photography members enjoy. There is sure to be something of interest to all visitors.
The Rose and Crown has 8 other artists showing their work in the venue – check them out by clicking this link – there is some great work on show – including some other photography.
On Monday 1st June we welcome Gordon Bramham, wildlife photographer extraordinaire, to the club. Gordon will be showing us his personal selection of the best of his photographs of wildlife, photographed all around the world.
Gordon’s website gives a flavour of the amazing range of nature he’s seen up close.
Something a little different this evening – a member’s evening – devoted to Light Painting.
With light painting you either shine a light at something and photograph that, or photograph the light source itself, which might be spun round for instance.
You’ll need to bring a camera and a tripod, maybe cable release, and anything that lights up – a strong torch, LEDs, glowsticks, a Star Wars light sabre, flashlights.. plus string and props like a whisk, coloured gels…
Also it’ll be a good idea to check you know how to programme a long exposure into your camera.
Hot on the heels of the projected Walker Trophy competition this Monday sees the first round of the print competition.
You are able to submit up to 4 prints for the competition with the amount shown being dependent upon the number of entries. There are 3 rounds to the competition with the the overall winner being the person with the highest aggregate score.
Points are awarded for the top 4 prints (depending upon the number of entries).
The judge for the evening will be Marc Edwards.
IMPORTANT NOTE: You are only able to enter an image twice intoANY Walker Trophy. So, if you have entered an image twice into the Walker Projected competition you are not allowed to enter it into the print trophy. The entry limit of twice does include previous years of the Walker. Additionally, if any image has been placed, or won a Walker competition (in any year) it cannot be entered again.
This Monday due to the number of entries a maximum of 3 prints will be entered into the competition.
