I attach a link to Laurie’s web site where you will be able to see some of his work http://www.lauriecampbell.com/
Laurie began photographing wildlife in 1970 and has since worked almost exclusively in Scotland where he enjoys photographing a wide range of natural subjects from lichens to golden eagles. He was recently voted one of 30 people from the past 300 years whose work has significantly contributed to the understanding and enjoyment of the natural history of the Scottish Highlands.
He is an entertaining speaker on his photographs and the environment. He is a judge for the ‘BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year’, a competition in which he has previously won twenty three awards !
Laurie will be talking about his methods and locations, telling tales of his exploits, and showing a great many new and previously unpublished images including some from a recent year-long commission on the Isle of Harris photographing Golden Eagles.

Neil Cave - Waverley and Didcot Workshops
Hi to all.
Paddle Steamer Waverley
A few weeks ago I canvased opinion on whether anyone would like to join us on water to photograph the Paddle Steamer Waverley. Well the response was good enough to warrant making an event of it. I have already mailed those who showed initial interest and have, I believe got their bookings so am now able to open the event up to a wider audience.
Already the 5th of October is full but if you would like to join us on one of the other days please let me know as soon as possible as spaces on other days are limited.
Didcot Railway Centre
Given the avalanche of bookings for our June Didcot Railway Centre events I am really pleased to be able to confirm that a third weekend has now been secured. As you would expect people that were on the waiting list for the first to weekends have been given priority for the third weekend and I am now confident that I have their bookings covered so am now able to offer this event to the wider audience.
This weekend will be slightly different to the first two in as much as we will be bringing the Branch Line with the wonderful Radstock Signal Box and turntable into the event. The Branch will feature the GWR Railmotor on Saturday evening and 1450 with the Red & Cream Auto on Sunday morning. We will still be using the Shed area extensively and of course the Coal Stage at first light.
If you would like to book on this event could I please ask you to email me your reservation before sending your payment to David. You may also pay using Paypal, please let me know if you would like too when emailing your reservation and I will send you details of how to make your payment.
Thanks again for the continued support.

SPF Exhibition Assistant Secretary
Geoff Kelland has given years of help to George Walsh with the setting up of the SPF Exhibition in Salisbury Library - and helped take it through to the excellent Exhibition we saw last January, with framed prints. He is now stepping down and an Assistant Secretary is most definitely needed. Geoff would be very happy to help with advice and easing someone new into what is required but do please ask your members if there is someone who would be interested in helping. I'm happy to pass on any enquiries about what it entails and George will be around on the AGM at the end of May to discuss if anyone is interested. Work doesn't really start on this until September and it would be really helpful to have someone in place earlier than that.

Print Box Orders . - April 2013
The closing date for the next order of Nomad Print Boxes will be Friday 17th May. They should be available for collection at the Reps Meeting (AGM) on the 29th May. (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.

'The Secrets of Landscape Photography' by Jeremy Walker, Wed at 8pm - Test Valley lecture
Dear all
Just a reminder about this Wednesday’s lecture ‘The Secrets of Landscape Photography’ by Jeremy Walker
This is a unique opportunity to learn some of the secrets of landscape photography from an award-winning professional. With his easy going personality, inspirational photographs and love of the landscape, Jeremy will take you from an appreciation of light itself, to some of the key techniques and equipment that he uses to capture his startling imagery.
Jeremy has many years’ experience as a professional photographer and his work has been used extensively by advertising agencies and corporate clients around the world. He is also a regular contributor to the UK’s top photographic magazines. Perhaps you will be inspired to enrol on one of his workshops, photographing Dorset’s Jurassic Coast or spending a week in Iceland’s volcanic wilderness with an opportunity to shoot the aurora borealis. See some of his remarkable pictures at http://www.jeremywalker.co.uk/web/index.php
Please join us at Broughton Village Hall on Wed 17th April at 8pm (doors open 7:30pm) and bring your friends and family along too (entrance is £3, to include wine & snacks, or free for full-time students).
We look forward to seeing you again

Visit Frogmore House Garden 16th May
Dear Salisbury Camera Club,
I am writing to you on behalf of Blind Veterans UK, to inform you of an upcoming event which we believe will be of great interest to you and your photography club / society.
On Thursday 16th May, by gracious permission of Her Majesty the Queen, Frogmore House Garden, set in the grounds of Windsor Castle, will be open to the public. Blind Veterans UK has been kindly chosen to be the benefitting charity for this event. Frogmore Garden would make a stunning backdrop for any photographer – especially as public access is very rare.
Blind Veterans UK, formerly St Dunstan’s, believe no one who’s served our country should battle blindness alone. We provide vision impaired veterans with access to the finest quality services to help them discover life beyond sight loss. This includes the provision of lifelong welfare support, rehabilitation, training, long term nursing as well as residential and respite care.
Therefore, all proceeds for the Garden tickets will raise vital funds that will allow us to keep providing the invaluable services to benefit blind ex-Service men and women.
Tickets for the Garden are £5.50. Guided tours of the garden are available, subject to availability, and will cost and extra £3.00. Tickets are also available to purchase on the day but will cost a little extra.
For more information and to purchase tickets please visit http://www.blindveterans.org.uk/frogmoregarden.
We very much hope you are able to attend this event, being such a rare opportunity, whilst supporting a very worthwhile cause at the same time.
Thank you and kind regards,

PAGB Awards Workshop 19th May
Places Going Fast for Applicants and Spectators
Experience has shown that attending an Awards Workshop can greatly enhance the chances of a successful adjudication. To help our members, we are running a Workshop on 19 May 2013 at Copythorne Parish Hall (Cadnam) Winsor SO40 2NZ ( the venue for Southampton Camera Club)
Are you interested in learning more about gaining PAGB awards? Then this is an opportunity not to be missed. Come along as a spectator and hear the talk, have the opportunity to see work from different photographer’s panels. It is an opportunity for you to be enthused and motivated to look to the future of gaining a distinction in your photography.
We will make every effort to allow anyone who is coming as a spectator to discuss with one of the consultants what is involved. To help with this you are invited to bring 2 prints or digital images for discussion.
You may know a member of your club coming along for an assessment, talk to them, they may be happy for you to accompany them and sit in on their assessment to learn more.
Maybe you are already working towards a distinction, if so you would benefit from an assessment on the day; this could save you time and money.
Now only 10 places available for assessment at £15 a person. Spectators only £10
PAGB Awards for Photographic Merit, i.e. CPAGB, DPAGB, MPAGB
The PAGB Awards for Photographic Merit (APM) are rapidly gaining in popularity, with entries filling up many months ahead. The next APM Adjudications will be in November 2013 in Dorset; all Credit entries are now closed, and there are just a few available Distinction places left.
Please contact Leo Rich at PAGBawards@southernfed.org.uk if you wish to apply. Adjudications take place twice a year, hosted by different Federations. The next Adjudication will take place in April 2014 and places are already filling up fast.
Print and PDI Championships – Free Entry!
These are being held on Sunday 24th March at Knowle Community Hall, Greater Horseshoe Way, Knowle Village, Fareham PO17 5GR.
A major change this year is that the Championships will be run on similar lines to the GB Cup, with separate sections for large and small clubs. For small clubs the requirement will be for only ten prints and ten PDIs, so it is hoped this will encourage many more clubs to participate.

The winners of the large clubs sections will go on to represent the Federation at the Inter-Federation Championships.
Celebrating the Federation’s 50th Anniversary
Several ideas for celebrating the Anniversary were discussed at the Reps’ Meeting, but did not meet with much support. Subsequently a proposal was put by Peter Rocchiccioli for the production of a commemorative photographic book, with a selection of photographs from every club in the Federation; this has been enthusiastically agreed by the Council.
Hot off the press, the following is Peter’s information on the project:
The Federation Council has agreed with the support of some Clubs to produce a 50th Anniversary commemorativephotographic book similar to the RPS Portfolio one and two to celebrate this milestone.
Clubs’ deadline to have their work to Peter Rocchiccioli at the above address is by 1st July 2013. (No images to be e-mailed).
Peter Rocchiccioli
The Federation Council has agreed with the support of some Clubs to produce a 50th Anniversary commemorativephotographic book similar to the RPS Portfolio one and two to celebrate this milestone.
We are inviting images from the 62 clubs from their members with images representing their own area. Images required on either digital stick or disk. Jpeg high resolution photographs (300 dpi in RGB) they are to include title, photographer’s name and Club name. The work must relate to the club location/area, with up to 20 images per club. All of the sticks or discs to Peter Rocchiccioli, Ludlow Copse Lane, Hayling Island, Hants. PO11 0QA These will be returned at one of the Reps’ meetings.
Clubs’ deadline to have their work to Peter Rocchiccioli at the above address is by 1st July 2013. (No images to be e-mailed).
Each Club will be represented by at least one image and their details if provided by the Clubs, including a couple of paragraphs on the Club history.
In addition if any Club members have photographs of the Federation early days I would welcome the opportunity to use them in the book for the Federation history section.
The book will have the necessary bar-code system that would mean that we have to provide one for the British library and one for the RPS and PAGB; this would ensure that it will outlive all of us and it would be there for ever as a memorial to the Federation, the Clubs and Officers.
Then we could have a book launch day at some venue such as Winchester, Chichester, Basingstoke and Havant or any other location that we may be able to obtain, to coincide with both the 50th Anniversary and the new name for the Federation; include a buffet and we have the lot.
The financial risk is minimal as we would hope to sell the books to the membership as well as through Amazon.
Time is of the essence, we need to progress as soon as possible.
If any Club members have any suggestions or can think of any other point please advise me as soon as possible.
Peter Rocchiccioli
Design a New Logo for the SCPF
New Name for the Federation
At the recent Reps’ Meeting it was was agreed to rename the Federation as the Southern Counties Photographic Federation. The main driver for this is the ongoing confusion with our SPF acronym and that of the Scottish Photographic Federation ( also SPF). It was also felt that with our 50th Anniversary being this year, now is a good time to make the change.
Subject to approval at the AGM, the change is likely to come into effect once all of the necessary steps have been taken. One of these is to design a new logo for the Federation. We are seeking designs from anyone who has appropriate expertise or creativity, and indeed have already received some from graphic design enthusiasts. Any contributions should be sent to John Hodge who will be co-ordinating this, and need to be received no later than 20th April. This will allow time for the Council to make a selection prior to the AGM when the change will hopefully be formally approved.
Designs can be sent direct to hodgeriba@aol.com or to council2@southernfed.org.uk The logo will need to be suitable for use in both colour and black & white and on both paper and digital output. We’re looking forward to some exciting ideas to present a 21st Century face in our new documentation!

Another chance to hear Dr Matt Doggett at Moors Valley
As our exhibition private view and illustrated talk by Dr Matt Doggett in February was such a quick sell out we have organised another chance to see his fascinating presentation about the underwater life along the Dorset and Hampshire coast to coincide with
World Oceans Day on Saturday 8th June - Web Site
World Oceans Day on Saturday 8th June - Web Site
As a reminder - our current exhibition the ‘British Wildlife Photography Awards’ finishes on Sunday 17th March.

Photography walks and tours in Lithuania
Dear Salisbury Camera Club,
My name's Richard Schofield and I'm an English documentary photographer and curator who's been living and working in Lithuania for the last 12 years. As a way of helping fund my work I offer a range of interesting, educational and fun photography walks and tours in the Lithuanian city of Kaunas where I live as well as further afield around the country. As such, I'm writing to you in the hope you could spread the word about my activities to your members.
Further information about myself, my work and my tours can all be found on my website (link below). Thank you for taking the time to read this and apologies for writing to you out of the blue.
Wishing you all the best for the coming weekend.
Regards,
Richard.
