30 March meeting - Guest Speaker

An Evening with Bill Gray
Bill Gray, from Selsdon Camera Club, is the winner of numerous photographic competitions. His subject matter is quite varied but he tends to favour landscape. He works in digital and film. He has traveled extensively and will be presenting a series of slides and prints from his time in California, Iraq, and Taiwan, along with some theater photography. This will be Bill's first presentation to a club and it promises to be a very enjoyable evening. Please try to arrive for a prompt 8pm start. Guests are welcome.

TUESDAY 2 FEB MEETING

Tuesday 2 February
Digital AV (Audio Visual) is growing in popularity in photography and is becoming a regular feature in club activities and competitions. Next year we plan to include some AV in our programme and so as an introduction to this our guests on Tuesday are the Bexley Audio Visual Group. They will present some of their work and demonstrate, by using the computer hardware most us already have plus some inexpensive software, how to produce something rather more sophisticated and complex than just a slide-show of images with added background music.

'An Evening of Prints'

Tuesday 26 January. Alan Barrett (The Mirage Group)

Alan’s interest – perhaps passion – in photography started in the late 1990’s in anticipation of his retirement from business in 2000. His interest is principally the landscape and he has travelled extensively, particularly in the States, in pursuit of the moment when the light transforms the mundane into something memorable. He works mainly in medium format film, making his own Ilfochrome prints, although he uses a small digital camera for the more intimate images.

Starts at 8pm. Guests are welcome.
