Month: November 2024

Next up, we have the first competition of the season, which as well as being a competition is a great opportunity to hear some learned commentary on our images from a judge accredited by the Scottish Photographic Federation. We’re fortunate to have Bob Humphreys from Donside CC coming to share his expertise for the evening. 

Bob will have his work cut out – we’ve got 90 images to enjoy. Expect to be inspired to think more deeply about how you can better tell the stories you want to tell.

After the event, the top-placed entries will be posted on our Galleries pages for us all to enjoy, and perhaps learn from, again.

Our Member’s Night ran exactly to plan, thanks not just to our four speakers, but also to our skilled members for assistance with such issues as sharing a presentation to a second screen, and using our new lapel microphones.

Alan Edwards outlined how the various SPF external competitions are judged and ranked 

John Boyd talked through the SPF’s advice, published on their website, on what their accredited judges should be looking for when judging club competitions

David Hay provided expert commentary on our PPS entry to the 4-Way local derby which will be held this year on Wed 20 Nov in St Andrews  

To finish, Ian Mackay told of his workflow for photographing landscapes in the classic wide angle, sharp front to back style.

Lots there to inspire us.
