Photography Workshops

Maria Falconer FRPS & Prof. Paul Hill MBE

A series of Workshops have been arranged by Maria and Paul. We know Paul quite well. He was one of our earliest influencers. We went to his home in Derbyshire on courses. He came with us to the USA. Here he assisted the then-current RPS President, who also was with us, to set up an RPS Chapter in California. We then visited the Yosemite Valley. One of the best photogenic places you can visit especially in Autumn.
    I remember Paul telling Sheila, when staring at the magnificent sight of the Yosemite cliffs, do not try and copy Ansel Adams. Instead, take your own original arrangements. Easier said than done.
Paul is a good teacher. Maria, we do not know but her web site shows great versatility and originality,

‘Sights of Wonder: Photographs from the 1862 Royal Tour’

‘Sights of Wonder: Photographs from the 1862 Royal Tour’

We are pleased to announce the launch of the Barber Institute of Fine Arts’ first online exhibition. We realise that most of your members have joined your club or society primarily because they are interested in creating their own high-quality images. 

We thought, however, that they may be interested in this particular exhibition of breath-taking photographs from the Royal Library, Windsor Castle, from the collections of Her Majesty the Queen. And if you agree, we would be very grateful indeed if you would circulate this link to the exhibition to your members:

Alabaré Photography Competition

Alabaré is a Salisbury based charity supporting the homeless including homeless veterans. The lockdown has had a major impact on the charity at a time when the support to the homeless increased while fundraising almost stopped. I have been an Alabaré Ambassador since Nov 19 and to support the charity I instigated a fundraising photography competition. Tony Oliver has been most helpful in giving freely his experiences of various photography competitions in order that I could help steer the fundraising team at Alabaré.  I am pleased to announce that the Alabaré 2020 Photography Competition has now been launched. There is a full advertising programme being developed and as part of that I have taken on spreading the word among the various photographic clubs. If you have any advice on how this is best achieved please do let me know.

Salisbury Camera Club News May 2020




Salisbury Camera Club Newsletter, May 2020

Lockdown Beauty PJW
Dear Members and Friends,


We trust that you and your families have remained safe and well since the lockdown began. Life has certainly been different for us all.
This Newsletter on behalf of the Club Committee is an attempt to reconnect with you and to try to look forward to future activities in the Club. Many of you have been keeping active photographically via Flickr groups and I am sure that when we eventually meet again we shall see and hear how other photographic interests have been kept alive.
Monday, May 18th was planned as the AGM to conclude the 2019-2020 season. The AGM will now be held at our first meeting together in September, assuming that a physical meeting is possible by then. Full details, including an agenda, will be circulated when the situation becomes clearer. Below is a summary of the competitions and Trophy winners which were concluded before the premature end of the season.

Club Trophy “Art or Anarchy” Richard Ramsay
Wiltshire Trophy “Avebury Landscape” Richard Ramsay
Etchells Portrait Vase “The Green Man” Ian Porter
D S White Trophy “Listening, The Main Attraction & Pink Bridle” Tony O’Reilly
John Burke (bi monthly gold prints) Richard Ramsay 23 points
(Paul Rigg 17 points
John Barton 15 points)
Sloane Stanley (bi-monthly silver prints) David Miesner 18 points
(Louise Topp 16 points
Jeremy Court 15 points)
Chaplin Bowl (bi monthly gold PDI’s) Tony Oliver 26 points
(Shaun Duke 24 points
Richard Ramsey 21 points)
George Sanger (bi monthly silver PDI’s) Louise Topp 18 points
(Fiona Slay and Stuart Kidd 15 points
John Hart and Jeremy Court 14 points)
 Congratulation to all the winners. Thank you to everyone who entered the various competitions, which helped everyone to see a wide range of excellent images.

We should like to try an online club meeting during the summer. Many of you will have kept in touch with family and friends online in one way or another. We propose to use Zoom. Many of you may have used Zoom either for official work meetings or for meetings with family and friends. Further information from other SCPF Clubs using Zoom for meetings and for competitions together with a note regarding earlier security concerns is posted on the SCPF News section of our website in the SCPF May Newsletter. Scroll down towards the end of this newsletter and there are a number of articles under the heading ZOOM. We propose that the meeting should last no more than 45 minutes (the time limit for a free to hosts Zoom meeting).

The meeting will cover a chance for us to see and greet each other again, an outline of possible next steps for club meetings in the light of the external situation, perhaps a selection from favourites from the Club’s Flickr sites and a chance to comment on them, plus, time permitting a short presentation from Tony Oliver (Subject yet to be decided)
The meeting will take place during the summer and further details about how to join the meeting and the exact topics will be circulated later. You may, of course, have views or questions of your own for the meeting, which should be sent to Richard Temlett as Secretary.

As a perhaps topical summer photographic challenge, you might like to consider the subject “Emerging from Lockdown”. Entries to be submitted at the start of next season, Up to 3 PDI’s per member in the usual format. Images taken between April 2020 and the date finally required for entry.

Just to let you know what the Committee is doing, we will be having a Zoom meeting on the 4TH of June.

Stay Safe. Enjoy your photography.
With best wishes to you all,
Peter Woodhouse,
Chairman, Salisbury Camera Club, on behalf of the Committee.

A whole issue devoted to just one married couple who have been very prominent for over ten years in the world of camera club photography.
They use only the simplest ways in Photoshop. So early versions of this program will do the same. They show what can be achieved consistently of a long period.
So read this Extra edition of the PAGB News and enjoy the imagery.
