Chichester Camera Club’s 14th advanced members’ exhibition

Members of your Club are cordially invited to Chichester Camera Club’s fourteenth advanced members’ exhibition to be held on 
Saturday, 10th January 2015 
at the North Mundham Village Hall. 
The exhibition will be open between 10 am and 5 pm with refreshments, light lunches and teas available throughout the day. If anyone cannot make it on the Saturday, we will be open on the following day (Sunday) between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm. We will have refreshments available on that day; however, access to the exhibitors may be limited.

Print exhibitors have had the choice of varying screen spaces with the freedom to display virtually any type of work they wish with no rules on size, subject matter technique, etc. whilst PDI workers are each allowed to have up to 6 images projected, again with no subject ruling. Based on our previous, similar exhibitions, this freedom of choice has resulted in a considerable display of artistic talent. The day has also proved to be a great social occasion.

We hope you will be able to visit us and look forward to meeting you on the 10th January. See our web site at http://chichestercameraclub.org.uk/ for directions.

Paths to Artistic Imaging in Photoshop. Book

My name is Russell Brown and I am the author of self-published book Paths to Artistic Imaging in Photoshop.

I am writing to clubs in the UK to let members know that my book is available at Amazon in the US for half the regular price until Christmas.

It is a great opportunity to grab a copy for yourself or as a stocking filler for like-minded friends or family.

The book has been well received, selling over 400 copies since its release and has been endorsed by my namesake, the Principal Creative Director at Adobe Systems.

It came about after my experience as a member of the Beta-reader team for Dan Margulis’ latest book Modern Photoshop Color Workflow.

I use many of Dan’s methods, plus a few of my own but for more artistic ends than him and it became clear to me that there was very little information available either in books or on the web on these techniques.

Anyone interested can use the Look Inside the Book feature on Amazon and can find more detailed information as well as examples of my work on my website.

If you could pass this information on to your members, I would be very grateful.

I live in Australia and it has been difficult for me to get the word out in the UK, so I thought it would be a good idea to approach photographic clubs directly.

Stocks of the book are only on hand in the US, however freight costs are not high and the half price special should mean that it is still an economical Christmas gift.

Please don’t hesitate to write if you have any questions.
Many thanks for your time.
Russ Brown

Visit to BDAC 26/11

DIRECTIONS

Post code is SP4 6DZ.
  • At the beehive roundabout just take the third exit when coming from Salisbury. It is in fact signposted to The Winterbournes – not the A338  (Marlborough).
  • At the next roundabout take second exit (A338).
  • At the first set of traffic lights turn right, go for 50 yards and turn left,
  • Then go for 80 yards and
  • Turn right, then go for about 100 yards and
  • Turn right – just after the Red Hawker Hunter jet.
  • Entrance to museum is on the right just past the GoFly office – parking is on the left opposite the entrance.
Hope this makes sense – will await your email next Tuesday – looking forward to welcoming you and your members at 7.30 next Wednesday evening.

Wildlight Photographic Safaris



I am writing on behalf of Wildlight Photographic Safaris.  We are a small, well established travel agency based in New Zealand specialising in photographic safaris and tailor-made tours throughout East and Southern Africa.  I act as the UK representative for the company.

Every year we organise a number of set departure photographic safaris to Botswana, Tanzania and Namibia using hand picked wildlife guides and accommodation and all accompanied by a professional photographic guide.  In addition we can arrange private photographic safaris at a time to suit the client.

Based on years of experience we firmly believe we can offer photographic safaris of the highest quality providing our clients with unparalleled opportunities for capturing great wildlife images, a view supported by the feedback we receive on our trips.  Wildlight Photographic Safaris operate with a simple philosophy: the more time spent in the field, the greater your chances are of capturing an incredible wildlife moment.

I am writing to you today to ask if you would be interested in making your members aware of our products, by passing this e-mail to them, making the attached brochures available at your meetings of perhaps even giving me the opportunity to present to your members on the Wildlight photographic safari experience.

As a keen wildlife photographer myself and a veteran of over 20 safaris to Africa I can personally vouch for the quality of the product.  Indeed it was after joining one of the Wildlight safaris to Botswana as a client I became involved in representing the company!

Some safari brochures are attached and a link to the Wildlight Safaris website is here: http://www.wildlightsafaris.com/

If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me.  I hope to hear from you soon.
