This Friday sees the return to Competition for club members, with the first of this season’s Print and the new Projected Image Competitions. Our judge this week will be John Holmes ARPS.

Don’t forget that with the Projected Image competition you can enter both Slides and Digital Images, provided that the Digital Image was shot as a jpeg and that it can only be cropped, rotated and spotted for dust.

With Sandra getting both aggregate Trophies last Season, it is hoped, we can provide more of a challenge to her wonderful work this season.

This Friday we have the pleasure of welcoming not one, but two Fellows of the Royal Photographic Society, too the club, when we are joined by Tony & Betty Rackham FRPS’s.

With a fellowship being the highest accolade awarded to members, and even just a quick browse of the wonderful images on their website at www.bettony.co.uk, you know that we should be in for something a bit special.

Solent Camera Club’s Annual Summer Exhibition is on show at the Tea Rooms in Victoria Park, Central Portsmouth.

The Exhibition runs until 14th September and contains entries from last seasons Bert Rogers Trophy. This year you even have an opportunity to purchase a number of the prints or even complete sets, for yourself.

The Tea Rooms have done a wonderful job of displaying the pictures, and serve a wonderful tea and cake. Make sure you pop in for a look.

We return to Southsea Community Centre this week, and into a great new programme.

Starting off with a chance to show some of the great pictures you’ve shot over the summer months, on holiday, out and about on a Friday evening with us or just for fun.
Bring it along and show us what you’ve been up to.

Have you come across something that you think other members would find interesting or helpful, a new technique for shooting or in photoshop, a great new piece of software? Bring it along too.

Our treasurer has asked me to remind members that subs are due too, and that if possible he would like cash.
