2009 SPF Exhibition at Salisbury Library



The 39th annual Southern Photographic Federation exhibition is being held in the Galleries upstairs in Salisbury Library, until the 31st of January.

On display are some 234 prints from 39 clubs from across the south, from the Channel Islands to Bognor Regis, via Reading and Newbury. Judging was undertaken by John Chamberlain APAGB,MFIAP,FRPS of Bristol.

Salisbury's panel is above; with entries from Tony Oliver, Tim Kidner, Sheila Read FRPS, Roger Ellway, Phil Clegg and Amanda Herridge. Special congratulations go to Phil Clegg for his 'Sun on the Stour' ,(bottom left) awarded 'Third Place, monochrome print.' Phil didn't show us what he'd won at the award ceremony - we hope he doesn't spend/use it all at once!

Also, for the very last time, slides, in the old-fashioned sense - some 176 of them, were shown at both the preview and at our club last Monday (12th). Digital slides take over next year.

Members are needed for stewarding throughout. A rota is held at the desk in the Gallery. It's fun as you meet not just fellow photographers but the public and you get to talk about photography - a lot! Ongoing thanks, as ever, to Peter Riley, curator of the Library Galleries.

The exhibition is open during Library hours, Monday to Saturday. Text/images:Tim Kidner
