Print Box Orders

Print Box Orders

The closing date for the next order of Nomad Print Boxes will be Friday 1st November. They should be available for collection at the Reps Meeting (AGM) on Monday 11th November. (or by arrangement)
Nomad describe these boxes as Heavy Duty in that they have two webbing straps and moulded black plastic corners. Please note that I am no longer offering the half sizes. (2.5'' & 3.5'') Now that they are the same price as the next full size up, very few of you are ordering them. Obviously I shall continue to offer the 1⅝'' size because this is the box we all use for our club competition, league and exhibition panels.

Nomad do give us a discount on quantity. Obviously this cannot be reflected in the prices of individual boxes but any ‘profit’ is paid to the SPF, thus helping keep Federation costs down.
If you are considering ordering 6 inch deep boxes, please bear in mind that they are a substantial weight when filled.

Enquiries – jeneric2012@btinternet.com - Eric Bennett

Dimensions:-
Note all boxes are 21” x 17” and are available in the following depths.
1⅝'' - £22.70 Handles can be supplied at an additional cost of £3
2'' - £22.70 Orders in writing and with cheques payable to:
3'' - £23.30 E. J. Bennett. 6 Inhams Road, Holybourne, ALTON
4'' - £23.90 Hampshire. GU34 4EU
5'' - £25.00 When ordering please supply your postal/email
6'' - £25.70 address and the name of your club.
Note: There are two types of handle: Webbing handles and plastic suitcase handles. I wouldn't recommend the suitcase handles for boxes above 4 inches in depth.
Also handles can be a bit of a nuisance if you are going to be sending your box through the post on a regular basis.

Barrow Hill
 Hi to one and all.

I have been asked to see if there would be enough support to run an event at Barrow Hill Round House ahead of "Barrow Hill Live", this private photo shoot would be on evening of Wednesday the 25th of this month. This would be a night shoot and would include Mallard, Tornado and the B1 (from the NYMR) outside the Shed and then inside we will have available to the Half Cab, Blue Peter, Butler Henderson and one or two others. With it being such short notice there will be little opportunity to move loco's around the yard/shed but with some good lighting (provided by Jason Cross) and some re-enactors we could make up for this with some nicely posed cameo scenes. We will be able to create smoke to add to the scene. Tornado will be in steam, the B1 should be in light steam as well. Dare I also mention that on the opposite side of the Round House Turntable there are a variety of heritage Diesel and Electric Loco's that you may find of interest, Jason will undoubtedly put some of these under the spotlights as well. 

If you are interested in supporting this event the cost will be £35.00 per person, with all profits going to Barrow Hill. 

This email is only to gauge support, if you are interested and would like to see this happen then can you please email me ASAP so I may make a final decision. 

Regards

Neil.

Havant Exhibition 2013

Havant CC's Annual Exhibition
Entry Invitation

Thursday 5 September 2013

Dear Camera Club,

I have been given the opportunity of organising an outdoor Bridal and Fashion shoot at the lovely location of Hamptworth Lodge – a privately owned historic house, on Sunday 22nd September in the afternoon.

I need at least 10 photographers to attend to make it financially viable and so I was wondering if any of your members would be interested in attending. It is suitable to all levels of experience and if I get sufficient bookings we will have 3 models and a make-up artist in attendance. Maximum number of photographers is limited to 12 to ensure plenty of opportunity for everyone to shoot. We will be there for a minimum of 3 hours!

Please see the attached flier for more information. I can also be contacted if you would like more information or if anyone would like to make a booking. Payment can be by card, cheque or bank transfer.

This is a unique opportunity with this location, and we will have sole access to the grounds for this shoot. So, as numbers are limited, I recommend booking soon as I will be passing this flier around to local groups, as well as my regular workshop attendees.

Hopefully this will be of interest to some of your members.

Thanks and Regards,
Clive

World's largest photography contest comes to the UK!


World's largest photography contest comes to the UK!

September is the month when summer begins drawing to a close, the football season is in full swing and the leaves begin to change colour. You may not be aware that it's also the month of the world's largest photography competition.

Wiki Loves Monuments is a global competition, open to everyone. In the UK the aim is to gather together freely-licensed high quality photographs of the UK's listed buildings for use on Wikimedia Commons and Wikipedia. And it's open to everybody.

Wikipedia has a global audience of over 500 million people every month, making Wiki Loves Monuments a chance for entrants to have their photography potentially reach a very large audience. For example, the article about Hadrian's Wall receives around 700,000 visitors a year while the article about London is viewed around 4.5 million times a year.

Aside from being great fun, Wiki Loves Monuments is a way of capturing a snapshot of our nation’s cultural heritage for future generations, documenting our country’s most important historic buildings. Over time, the collections gathered throughout the competition will become an incredibly useful historical resource.

Entries can be images taken specially for the competition, or can be pre-existing images.

Michael Maggs, volunteer member of the Wiki Loves Monuments UK steering committee and a Wikimedia UK Trustee, said: “The contest is a great way not only to contribute to Wikipedia but also to record and share with the world images of your local historic environment. You don't need to be a professional-quality photographer to upload photos and help make a difference.”

Jon Davies, Chief Executive of Wikimedia UK, the charity that is helping to support the initiative, said: "Taking part in Wiki Loves Monuments for the first time is very exciting. We’re hoping that the UK will provide a leading contribution to the contest and are calling on photographers, amateur and professional alike, to help to make this happen. We'd love for the global winner to come from the UK."
