Gene Nocon has died.

Gene Nocon died on 20th November 2011. He was our hero for his invention of the f-stop method of exposure in darkroom printing. There is a very interesting 30 minute video of him talking about how he developed this idea and his work with Cecil Beaton, Norman Parkinson and Tim Rudman. It is a good history of the late 20th century photography. Well worth viewing.

Lith Printing for real.

Tim Rudman, an old friend of ours and a wonderful darkroom printer, has an interesting video for those who understand darkroom work.

David Noton Talk, Sturminster Newton

Dear Salisbury Camera Club

I am writing to you in regards to David Noton’s Roadshow which will be held at The Exchange in Sturminster Newton, Dorset DT10 1QU on 14^th December 2011 at 7.30pm.

David is internationally recognised as one of the worlds finest landscape travel photographers……his work was described by ‘BBC Wildlife Magazine’ as…..

“a collection of jaw-droppingly beautiful views of some of the most spectacular places on earth.”

The Roadshow is about David Noton sharing with the viewer how a landscape and travel photographer uses their eyes. It includes landscape, portraiture, street scenes and satellite imagery from around the world as well as in the field advice and photography tips.

He shares the highs and lows of being in the field and ‘explores’ pushing the boundaries to encourage experimentation with our own photography either as snappers on holiday or budding developing photographers.

The show has evolved over the last 3 years from a photographer standing by a projector into a full audio/visual experience with high definition projection, music, video clips, practical technical backgrounds and travel anecdotes with David’s renowned sense of humour.

If you want more information please look at our website on

www.davidnoton.com

Take a look under ‘shop’ and then ‘roadshows and tickets’.

If 10 or more of your members wish to attend we are able to give you 1 free ticket.

Our tel no is 01963 250061

Previous audiences have shared how uplifted and inspired they felt afterwards, some even going home to book their next adventure!

Could you please position this poster on a noticeboard or cascade down via e mail to give interested individuals the opportunity to attend.

Maybe we will see you there too…..

Thanks for your support.

Regards

Wendy Noton
