Artist’s Statement 

The eye does not always see things the way the camera does. I consider photography to be the art form of painting with available light. Changing intensity, colour and direction of light results in a change of mood of the same elements. I respond to the intrinsic power of light that continuously alters shape and form. Further changes can be made by exposure and shutter speed, tools uniquely available to the photographer. Some of my images encapsulate a moment in time. Others are ethereal, dreamlike and considered, so requiring planning and long time exposures to see beneath the 'seen' image.

Basingstoke Camera Club “Awash With Images” Exhibition.

A new exhibition of photographs will open on Saturday 30th of August at the Basingstoke Discovery Centre in Festival Place Basingstoke. 

The exhibition, entitled “Awash with Images" comprises over 40 photographs from near and far, taken by members of Basingstoke Camera Club. Images range from wildlife through to portraits and travel. Running till Sunday 7th of September, this free exhibition is a must see for anyone locally interested in photography.

Dear Mr. Temlett,

I've attached a press release about an exciting new book Two Rivers Press has just published: Fox Talbot & the Reading Establishment. I think this book might be of interest to those members of the Salisbury Camera Club who are interested in the history of photography.

In 1843, the photography pioneer, William Henry Fox Talbot and his associate, Nicolaas Henneman, set up the first commercial studio to mass-produce photographs from negatives and they chose the Berkshire town of Reading as its location. The Reading Establishment, as it became known, marks a pivotal moment in the development of photography. Martin Andrews tells the story of these momentous events and places them in the context of the discovery and early history of photography.

Please feel free to forward this information to your members or anyone one else in the organisation who might find it of interest. If the Salisbury Camera Club wishes to announce the publication of Martin Andrews' book, 'Fox Talbot & the Reading Establishment' in your newsletter or on a website or Facebook page, please feel free to do so. We would be happy to provide a cover illustration and a URL to link to.

NB: the book is normally priced at £10.00 but as 2014 is Two Rivers Press' 20th anniversary, there is a 20% discount off all orders placed via our website, on the 20th of each month throughout the year. This means that 'Fox Talbot & the Reading Establishment' is only £8.00 if ordered on the 20th of August, September, October, November and December!

This book is also available in bookstores (though it might have to be ordered!)

There is more information and about Martin Andrews and the book on our website, from which one can also order copies of the book:

http://tworiverspress.com/wp/fox-talbot-the-reading-establishment/

We can also provide terms and conditions for review copies, discounts on purchases of 10 or more copies, or reselling of the books. If you require further assistance, please contact me or Sally Mortimore on 07834 827611 for enquiries about discounts, (Mon – Fri 10am-3pm): Email: sallym@tworiverspress.com or to place orders please contact Barbara on 0118 987 1452 or emailorders@tworiverspress.com.

The workshops are held in Dorchester, Dorset.
Kind regards,

Karen

Tour of Britain - Wednesday 23 July 2014

Where to watch the Tour of Britain
Wednesday 23 July 2014

The route for the Wiltshire stage of the Tour of Britain has been announced and now spectators will be looking for the best spots to catch the action.

Wiltshire Council is working with the tour backers and local communities to provide the latest information as the county prepares to host one of the major sporting events of the year.

Stage 6 will see more than 100 of the world's top cyclists racing through the streets of Bradford on Avon, Trowbridge, Devizes and Pewsey and the villages along the 67.5km Wiltshire route.

Sir Bradley Wiggins was crowned champion last year and thousands are expected to line the roads through the county following the success of the Tour de France in Britain.

The Tour of Britain starts in Liverpool city centre on September 7 and will arrive in Wiltshire five days later as the riders tackle a 205.7km stage from Bath to Hemel Hempstead.

Stage 6 starts in front of Royal Crescent in Bath before heading into Wiltshire at Lower Stoke at around 10.40am.

The race continues along the B3108 before the crowds gathered at Bradford on Avon get their first glimpse of the riders on the A363 Masons Lane at just after 10.50am.

Spectators can watch the peloton in Silver Street and St Margaret’s Street before the teams head for Trowbridge along the A363 and are due to arrive on the outskirts of town at around 10.55am.

Bradford Road, Stallard Street and Bythesea Road will be closed as the cyclists speed through the town centre and onto Hilperton at around 11am.

The villages of Semington and Seend will become a blur as the peloton reaches speeds of more than 40kmh on the A361 before the next stop Devizes at 11.20am.

Soon the beautiful Vale of Pewsey will be the backdrop as the riders take first the A342 before turning onto the A345 and onto Pewsey itself, arriving in the town at around 11.50am.

The peloton will head out of town on the B3087 before finally turning onto the A338 and out of Wiltshire.

Jane Scott, leader of Wiltshire Council said: “This is a wonderful opportunity to showcase the county of Wiltshire to a global audience and we are delighted to host Stage 6 of the tour.

“The Tour of Britain is now one of the major cycling events in the world and the perfect event to continue to encourage people to enjoy the benefits of cycling following the success of the Tour de France in Britain.

“Since 2012, we have recognised the benefits of building a legacy in Wiltshire and we promote a number of beautiful cycling routes across Wiltshire for local communities and visitors to enjoy. We want to continue to boost the local economy and have a host of activities that encourage people to get more active and improve their health and wellbeing.

"I hope this major event will see communities getting involved, like they did when we welcomed the Olympic Torch in 2012, and that they will take the opportunity to showcase what makes them unique. We hope that school children and local people will line the streets and show their support for the cyclists as they pass through our county.”

The full list of roads used on the 67.5km Wiltshire section of Stage 6:

11.42am - B3108 Lower Stoke before heading along the B3108 Winsley Hill and Winsley Road.

10.51am - Bradford on Avon: A363 Masons Lane, Silver Street and St Margaret's Street before heading out of town along the A363 Trowbridge Road and through Widbrock Hill, Trowle and Cockhill.

10.57am - Trowbridge: A363 Bradford Road, Stallard Street and Bythesea Road before the A361 County Way and Hilperton Road and then B3105 Trowbridge Road.

11.02am - Hilperton: Devizes Road and A361 Trowbridge Road.

11.14am - Seend: A361 High Street, Seend Hill and Caen Hill.

11.23am - Devizes: A361 Bath Road, New Park Street, Gains Lane before A341 Nursteed Road and A342 Monument Hill, Andover Road in Chirton, Pewsey Road in Charlton and Rushall Road.

11.52 am Pewsey: A345 Salisbury Road and Church Street before out of town along the B3087 High Street, Milton Road and Burbage Road.

12.03pm - A338 Grafton Road, Piccadilly (Morten) and into West Berkshire.
