Club Projects
New members, especially those who are just starting out on the road to more serious photography, may be interested to learn about the club's monthly photography project which takes place on the club's website. This is strictly a members' only project, members of the public will not be able to view any images submitted to a project. It's also a "fun" project; it's not a competition and there are no prizes. Its purpose is to encourage members, especially Beginners, to submit images based on a theme which will change from month to month. And it's also meant to be a challenge for more advanced members to come up with something different. It doesn't matter about the quality of the image - although we hope over time that these will improve with experience. It's more about scanning your catalogue of images for something suitable or perhaps creating something specially to meet the theme. Submitting images is reallysimple. First, login to the Members page and click on My Images in the left hand menu. When the My Images page opens there are full instructions there on how to add an image to the website and how to submit it as an entry in a Club Project. The same process is used to submit images for Competitions and for Members' Galleries. Why not take a look now at some of the existing projects and view some really great images. Login to the Members page and click on Club Projects.

Members' Galleries
Why not share your experiences with the rest of the club and submit new, replacement or additional images for the Members’ Galleries? Members have full control of the images they want to include in their galleries. Just click on Members in the menu bar and, after logging in, choose My Images in the left menu list and follow the instructions. Nothing could be simpler! |

Margaret Soraya - "Creativity & Inspiration Through Landscape Photography"
Margaret works in some of Scotland’s most remote areas. She takes photographs, creates time-lapses and makes short films of some of the most peaceful places she can find. She believes that being in such places is the best way to nurture well-being and a balanced lifestyle. Not only for her as the photographer, but for the viewer as well. So her hope is that her photography gives to you the same sense of calm and tranquillity as both the scene before her and the way she felt in recording these images. She has a passion for the Scottish islands and is exploring and documenting these islands frequently, finding wonderful places to stay and explore and bringing them to visitors to her website. If you’d like to see what she means then take a look: https://www.margaretsoraya.com/ . |

Competition 2 - Print 1 Results
This is the second competition of the season. It will be an open competition (no predetermined subject) comprising only printed images. The results from his competition count towards the Annual League Table. The RULES for submitting print entries are available on the Information page of the website. Summarised, the Print format requirements for club competitions are: •The visible area of the print must be no less than 35 square inches e.g. 5 x 7 inches or any other size with an area of 35 square inches or greater. •Prints may be monochrome or colour •All prints submitted must be mounted on stiff mount board. •Maximum size of the mount is 16 x 20 inches or 40 x 50 cm. •Membership number, title, classification and ranking should be clearly written on the back of the mount at the bottom left hand corner when viewed with the image face down. This is important as judges expect the image title to be in this position; especially for abstract prints or prints where it is not clear which edge is meant to be the top. Prints with no classification included will be entered in the advanced class. Print entries should be accompanied by a digital submission of the image entered, submitted via the club website on the My Images page. This copy may be used for collating, selection and projection on judging evenings; and also for presentation on the club website after the competition has been judged. Digital copies may also be handed in to the Competitions Secretary on digital media. Digital images or prints submitted to a previous club competition MUST NOT be resubmitted for this competition. |

Ross McKelvey - "Passion For Prints"
Ross’s presentation tonight is on his passion for prints. His preferred genre is portraiture, both in the studio and on location. Exhibition Photography is what 'floats his boat' - particularly the print exhibitions where your images are put on display. It doesn't matter whether it is in the local community centre, in an art gallery, a museum or a shopping centre - getting prints up on the wall is what it is all about! He has his own large commercial photographic studio close to the Centre of Belfast. He runs workshops for studio portraiture, natural lighting, and Photoshop, and regularly gives talks and presentations to camera clubs throughout the UK and Ireland. Here’s a link to Ross’s website: http://www.rossmckelvey.co.uk/ . |
