PAGB Inter Fed Competition
THE PHOTOGRAPHIC ALLIANCE of GREAT BRITAIN
ANNUAL INTER–FEDERATION PRINT & PDI COMPETITIONS AND EXHIBITIONS
The annual PAGB Inter Fed Competition and subsequent exhibition will take place in June of this year.
The majority of work for the SCPF entry will again be selected from the forthcoming Club Championships and Finals Day entries.
Images will be selected to represent the SCPF in the following categories
· Colour Prints
· Mono Prints
· Open PDI
· Nature PDI
The selection submissions shows much of the good work from our Club's members, but we know that there are many more excellent images (particularly prints and especially in mono) that never get the chance of consideration as the selection committee never see them.
We would really like to see representative work from as many clubs as possible and would ask that prints be submitted to any SCPF Council member before May 10th 2015. This is also the date of the SCPF AGM and Club finals day, when a box will be available for work to be submitted.
Please bring this to the attention of Club Members. It is important to note that any member can submit work for selection, it is not necessary for clubs to pre-select.
PDI's can be sent to me at any time for inclusion at pagb.competition@southerncountiespf.org.uk, although thanks to the existing PDI databases there is not such a shortage of suitable work for consideration.
Many Thanks,
Tony Oliver SCPF Vice President

GADGETS AND GIZMOS with Jeff Morgan
GADGETS AND GIZMOS with Jeff Morgan
Plus: There will be a special raffle prize at this event!
You will enjoy a lot of practical demonstrations. Jeff will demonstrate the options for automatic control of the camera with a smart phone and tablet and examine the available apps and interfaces like CamRanger, Triggertrap, Weye Feye and Promote Control that allow automatic shooting and by breaking a beam or sound triggering, time-lapse, star trails, bulb exposures and HDR sequences.
It is about how Jeff sets about to shoot his images and covers his equipment selection and its use in the field. The program starts with the tools he uses for doing the research before a shoot, continues on with the equipment and settings used during the shoot, and finishes with some processing suggestions and demonstrations.
Raffle
At this event, we will also be holding a prize draw for a training day with Glyn Dewis. Glyn gave us a highly appreciated presentation last year, and this is a very valuable prize. See...
