10 years! Where did all the time go? Our 10th anniversary Photo Show is this weekend and we're in the final stage of preparation to make this one a bit more special.

 

Photo Show will take place in the charming All Saints' church, West Haddon, as usual. Throughout the church there will be an exhibition of prints submitted by photographers from near and far; some of the prints will be for sale. A display of digital images will play during the opening times of 10am to 5pm and you can get a cuppa and a cake, sit down on a pew to relax and watch it. Admission is free.

 

This year we've invited the pupils of West Haddon Primary School to submit their images. We'll also be running presentations during the afternoon of each day to help you improve your photography.

 

We'd like to encourage everyone who visits to vote for their favourite print and digital image - this year there's again a prize of a £20 voucher from Picture Perfect for the ones with the most votes. Last year the image on the right - Twilight Alone by Carl Everitt - was voted the favourite print image.

 

You'll also have an opportunity to buy a copy of our 2025 calendar that contains photos taken locally by our members.

 

Members of West Haddon Photo Club will be on hand each day to answer any questions you have about Photo Show and photography in general.

 

There is more information on our Photo Show page and if you have any questions about Photo Show email us at photoshow@whphoto.club.

 

Many of us can claim to have seen better days, either remembering the 'good old days' or when we could get out of a chair without groaning. It's also a euphemism for something worn, old and decrepit.

 

Although careworn sometimes these things have real charm and character and make a great picture. We're hoping our members submit some images that show that new and shiny isn't always the best - have a look at Nick Page's Misty Cottage photo to see an example of this.

 

Image of the Month returns this month, so don't forget to send in a photo taken since the last Show and Tell meeting.

 

Don't ruin things by not submitting your photos by 9pm on Wednesday 23rd October.

 

All our future themes and our other events are on our 2024 and 2025 Programme pages.

 

Our members submitted some cracking images to our Show and Tell on the theme of Never Mind The Weather. Interestingly many of them featured rain which must be some reflection on our climate.

 

Feeling under the weather? Cheer yourself up by taking a look at their photos on September's Members' Images page.

 

Fed up that your photo didn't turn out as you'd hoped? Confused as to why the colours are dull? Irked that your images don't look as good as they should?

 

We held an informal presentation when we ran through editing features common to most photo editing software. Using some members' photos we showed how each of the features could be used to enhance the images and when to use (or not use) each of the editing tools.
