Doug Allan - Life Behind the Lens Tour - Sun, 13 Oct 2013, 7:30 PM - 9:30 PM

Following the recent success of three Theatre tours, we have just finished organising a Third tour for BAFTA and Emmy award-winning wildlife and documentary cameraman Doug Allan. Soon he will be in Salisbury at the Arts Centre.

Having worked on programmes including Blue Planet, Planet Earth and Life, Doug is at the forefront of his profession and offers a unique insight into a life lived at the extremes. Most recently, Doug has appeared both in front of the camera, and as a cameraman for BBC's Operation Iceberg, and has also featured on the BBC's Wild Cameramen at Work, where Sir David Attenborough said the following about him: “For me, wildlife cameramen don’t come much more special than Doug. There’s just no one else who knows these frozen worlds as he does”.

The lecture has a focus on filming in the Arctic and the Antarctic, and touches on a range of subjects - from the environmental concerns of the delicate environments of the poles, and how the enhanced greenhouse effect affects them - to anecdotes on how Doug first managed to get into the business.

We believe that this lecture could be of interest to those of you who are interested in the outdoors and the environment, but also those of you interested in photography and camera work. Even if you just like a good story we feel this show will be of interest to you.

At the end of the lecture, Doug also involves the audience with a Q & A, and then comes down off of the stage, to sign copies of his book, and will be able to discuss a couple of points whilst signing.

With a lecture full of Doug's exciting adventures and animal encounters, it should be fun for those of all ages.

Cost £12.50 / £10.50 concessions

PDI Images urgently needed

Please send a plea out to all members to send in their winning images - this is for individuals, not a club entry. We need work for both the Open class and Natural History class.

All images must be a maximum of; 1400 pixels horizontal x 1050 pixels vertical, ; RGB mode; jpeg format.

All images must be sent to pagb.competition@southerncontiespf.org.uk by September 1st, slightly earlier this year than last.

Remember images must not have been accepted in the exhibition in either print or PDI previously and a club member can only support one federation.

I would also like to advise you that Ian Miller has now taken over as PAGB Competition Secretary and I hope you will continue to support Ian's requests as you have mine over the last couple of years.

Remember the more images we have to choose from the more likely we are to get images accepted and come higher in the ranking list. We did well last year coming 5th place - lets try to improve that.

Many thanks for your cooperation
Lynn Lambeth

Photography Competition

This is to let you know of an open photographic competition we are running at YorkMix.com, the website for York.

We are looking for entries of photographs taken in York since September last year.

We realise that not everyone will have a York picture in their recent portfolio; but, as our city is one of the most visited in the UK, there is a good chance that some of your club members or photographer friends may have a photograph worth entering.

Here is a link to the competition: YorkMix.com York Photographer of the Year Competition.

All entries are digital (via the entry form); the first prize is £250 plus a pair of First Class Rail tickets from East Coast; entrants will be featured in a major exhibition in York in October.
  • Closing date is September 6. 
  • Entry fee/administration fee is £2 per entry of up to three photographs; photographers may enter as many times as they wish.

I do hope you can let other club members know of this event.

Thanks for taking the time to read this note.

Moving On July Challenge - The dark side.

The challenge for July is all about low key lighting.

In renaissance painting, low key lighting is known as chiaroscuro (Italian for light - dark) and many famous painters have used this technique including Caravaggio and Rembrandt.

Whereas a high key image is light and airy, a low-key image is all about drama and mystery. You are aiming for moody with striking contrasts through reduced lighting, so shadows are key to this.

So what does this actually mean you need to do? Well you are looking for an image that is likely to have one main direction of light source. The easiest example is to imagine a person in a darkened room, with just a candle to light their face. That is the sort of look you are going for. However, it can be any subject and it can be day or night, the technique can be subtle or dramatic. It can be colour or mono, it is up to you.

It might help to look on the internet to see the sort of thing we are talking about and the Wikipedia page on chiaroscuro contains some good information on the subject and lists some photographers who are known for its use. Also see HERE and maybe this Google Image page

Not an easy subject to get to grips with but I am sure we will be all the better for trying!

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
