Newsheet for September

1. The club are planning to hold an exhibition in the Guildhall on January 23rd-27th 2012. We expect to be able to exhibit approximately 100 of your images to the public (exact numbers will be known nearer the date). All exhibited images must be mounted and framed to maximise the visual impact (again exact details will be given later). There is no need to do anything at the moment other than note the dates and perhaps give some thought to providing an entry for the exhibition.

2. Set subject title "Natural History"

As you are aware the first PDI set subject this season is Natural History. In order to clarify what is acceptable and to avoid confusion in this specific area of photography, the RPS/SPF definition is outlined below.

• Images can be of any branch of natural history except anthropology and archaeology.
• No photos of artificially produced plants, mounted specimens or wildlife in captivity are allowed.
• Human elements should not normally be present unless they are necessary to enhance the photos story.
• No digital manipulation allowed that alters the truth of the image.
