23rd January
On the 23rd January Tenby Camera Club was treated to a fascinating presentation on long exposures and on low level light photography from our own club member Chris Warren, Chris is a professional photographer and has been for over 30 years, he enjoys sharing his expertise on the various techniques needed to produce quality images . The equipment, camera settings and when to use long exposures were discussed with an interesting range of photographs shown to illustrate the effects . Seascapes, waterfalls, traffic and clouds all featured in the presentation . The techniques required to use Twilight featured after the break. Again timings, apps and places to capture the unusual light were chatted about with Chris interacting with us all to motivate a new technique and style.
Everyone felt that they would enjoy practising these new ideas and thanked Chris for his time and patience .
On the 30th January it was competition time again with Creative being the topic. Although there were a lower than usual number of entries, the standard of work was still very high . The judge for the evening was Tenby’s own Harry Gardiner , an experienced club circuit judge especially for understanding Creativity.
In the prints there were 7 entries, with portraits, landscapes, boats and birds featured with a range of effects from textures to composites.
Two prints were given first place each with 19 points. They were ‘J217’ by Robbie Daley and ‘Gotta Pick a Pocket’ by Dave Bolton. Dave Bolton also achieved 18 points with ‘Heavenly Beings’ and third place.
The 8 digital entries from 5 photographers produced a clear winner with 20 points , Dave Bolton and his ‘Extreme Mud Running’ . There was joint second with 19 points for Dave Marriott and ‘Tenby Twist' and Charlie Kidd with ‘Ibis in Oils Framed’. Two third places with 18 points for Dave Bolton and his ‘Demon and Dragons’ and Roy Peters and ‘Not Beach Weather’
There should be particular praise for the creativity of member Dave Bolton who was placed with all of his 4 entries including two firsts.
Harry concluded the evening with a discussion about what creativity can be , showing a wide range of images to illustrate .
Tenby recently came joint 13th Place in the PAGB organised 'GB Nature Cup' with 86 UK wide clubs competing. We were represented by 9 photographers from the club. Members Al Rees, Charlie Kidd and Jan Sullivan were mentioned in the Top Author Results . We scored 122 marks out of 150 . Well done .
