Springhead Garden 17th April

Edward Parker who onthe 12th March gave us a great talk on TREES has invited us to these gardens for the day.
He said :-

I thought some of your members might be interested that we are having an Open Garden on Tuesday 17th April.  I will be doing a photo course in the morning but it might be just as nice to come and photograph in the gardens which should be full of spring flowers.

I have attached a poster about the photo course in case any of your members might be interested.

British Army Photographic Competition 2018

Video focus for 2018 Army Photographic Competition
· Closing date 19 Sept 18
· Winners announced 17 Oct 18
· All entries must have been captured between 20 Sept 17 and 18 Sept 18

The Army Photographic Competition 2018 is now open and it promises to be better than ever before with another new public category Operation Smart Phone, giving keen videographers, whether civilian, Navy or RAF, a chance to use their phone and submit a video with a British Army theme.

Are you an civilian photographer with a love of all things Army? Operation Camera will give your army-themed photographs a chance to shine. It was so successful last year, we have decided to run it again. Cadet Life, also returns for a second year. Check online for eligibility, terms and conditions.

The traditional categories are open to all Regular Army and Army Reserve personnel and cadets of the Combined Cadet Force (CCF), Army Cadet Force (ACF), University Officer Training Corps (Army) and Ministry of Defence civilians who work directly for the Army. Check online for categories and eligibility.

As soldiers first, Army photographers deploy into fields of operation with units to capture life on front lines and training areas around the world. They are the eyes of the Army and capture an unrivalled view of Army life right at the heart of the action.

Command Master Photographer WO1 (Cdr) Will Craig says: “I am genuinely excited for this year’s Army Photographic Competition. The new category Operation Smart Phone smashes the competition wide open enabling anyone including the public to enter the video category for the very first time.

“The quality of video that the modern phone can produce is excellent. There are lots of great prizes this year and you have to be in it to win it.”

The ever-popular online category as voted by the public is now hosted on the website at www.army.mod.uk/photocomp.

Judges will be looking for high quality photographs and videos, which can be used to promote the Army across traditional and social media channels.

Rules and eligibility online

To make things even easier, all entries can now be submitted online; hi-res jpegs and MP4s will be accepted. Certificates confirming subject permission must be completed and submitted for each entry.

Entry forms, rules and further details are available in the ABN posted on the Army website at www.army.mod.uk/photocomp along with terms and conditions and points of contact.
