A couple of months ago we launched a fabulous photographic competition called EUROPE IS BEAUTIFUL, which as the name suggests, is a Europe wide competition celebrating the beauty and diversity of our continent.

2012 has been such a great year to be British... we celebrated the Queen¹s diamond Jubilee as well as huge success at the Olympics and Paralympics, and despite the fact that it¹s been a rather wet summer, we still feel sure that you have loads of fantastic photos lurking on your laptops. So, why not share them and be in with a chance to win one of 500 amazing prizes that are on offer.

Loads of prizes to win...

http://contest.cewe-fotobuch.de/eib2012/en/main/prizes

Let¹s show the rest of Europe just how beautiful our country is and how proud we are of these fair Isles.

Entering is simple! Just go to the competition site and register your details: http://contest.cewe-fotobuch.de/eib2012/en/photos/add

Then you are free to upload up to 5 of your best photos to be in with a chance to WIN!

You’re history!

Hi,
I was wondering if any your members interested in “photographing history” might like come along an enjoy You’re history!* at Broadlands, Romsey, Hampshire on 22-23 September.
This is a major Classical Greek to 1990s multi-era living history show with 700 performers from 50 top groups, battles, displays, encampments, children’s entertainments and more, all set within a beautiful setting and carefully arranged to be as photogenic as possible – so, no burger vans, other visitors or modern intrusions spoiling the backdrop of displays etc.
We’ve found that photographers and their families love this show (now in its third year) so perhaps you might like to make your members (and other photographic groups that you might know) aware of it? Full details including the timetable of displays is posted up at www.you’rehistory.co.uk or www.eventplan.co.uk
* previously known as Blasts from the Past!
Please note that we aren’t able to offer special access for safety reasons because of the horses, guns, other weapons and explosives in use, and we ask photographers to observe our usual viewing arrangements (eg by not standing up in front of those seated & viewing behind), but we find that everybody is able to take plenty of excellent shots. The living history areas are of course ideal for photographers, and the re-enactors will often pose for particular shots.
Admission is very reasonable, only £10 adult, £5 child or £25 family of four. We recommend coming on the Saturday because as there is so much to see, visitors often like to come back on the Sunday. Tickets are available each day (only).
I do hope that your members will be interested!
All the best

Here at Ammerdown we are very much looking forward to welcoming him back to lead a weeks Autumn Photo project in the beautiful surrounds of the Ammerdown Centre which is in the Somerset countryside on an idyllic estate.

It would be great to see some of the Wiltshire Clubs members come along and share the experience and I have attached for you to share amongst your members etc a flyer with all the details on which includes a booking form and a link to our website which leads you to further information about Bryan and the course.

FIAP DISTINCTIONS CRITERIA

Have assured your FIAP Liaison Officer as late, as July this year, that the announced changes to the criteria would go ahead, FIAP have now changed their minds! At their Directory Board Meeting, held immediately before opening of the FIAP Congress in Singapore, they decided to defer the changes, and on the opening day of Congress announced that the changes to the criteria for AFIAP, EFIAP and MFIAP would not now come into force until the 1st July 2013.

This means that the 2013 submission of applications will now be subject to the criteria that were in forced in 2012. The relevant documents on the PAGB Website are being updated and if not already done, then they will be as soon as the Webmaster can implement the changes. The replacement documents will be annotated with the words "Post FIAP Congress". You should refer to them for full details.

I am aware that this change might well be greeted with enthusiasm by many, but there will be a number of others seeking EFIAP for whom the changes might be less welcome. Please understand that I have already made representations about these issues, but as was pointed out to me, there will always be some who lose out when changes are made.

SOUTH DOWNS PHOTOGRAPHIC COMPETITION

  Hunt for photos of life in the South Downs

Comedian and actor Hugh Dennis will help to judge a photo competition challenging people to capture ‘Life in our Landscapes’ in the South Downs National Park this summer.

Hugh Dennis, who lives in the South Downs National Park, said:

“The spectacular landscapes of the South Downs only exist because of the people who have shaped them over the past 6,000 years. I’ll be looking for a winning image that captures a story of the people who live, work and visit here today.”

Prizes for the competition, launched by the South Downs National Park, include £150 in vouchers to spend at Petersfield Photographic, a year’s subscription to Outdoor Photography magazine and a day of landscape photography training with photographer Simon Parsons.

The other judges are Steven Watkins, editor of Outdoor Photography magazine, Nick Heasman, Western Area Manager for the South Downs National Park and Doug Jones, Member of the South Downs National Park Authority.

Steve Watkins, whose office is based in the South Downs National Park said:

“It takes a different creative approach to capture an image of life on a farm, in a market town or of a paraglider soaring over the hills than it does to photograph an empty landscape.

“My tips would be to clearly define your main subject and then make that the most important element; and wait for a telling moment to press the shutter button – it could be the turn of a head, a smile, a person walking by or the paraglider executing a steep turn. My winning shot will tell the story of when people and landscape come together.”

Nick Heasman, Western Area Manager for the South Downs National Park and a keen amateur photographer said:

“The landscapes of the South Downs National Park are as much about people as they are about place. I can't wait to see images showing the relationship between man and the land, capturing tales of our rich cultural heritage, community pride, enterprise and recreation – the life in our market towns, at local festivals, working in farms and out on our footpaths.”

The competition closes on 15 October 2012. Information on how to enter and full terms and conditions are available at www.southdowns.gov.uk/photocomp2012.
