New season begins

Our first meeting of the 2011/12 season is on Tuesday 6 September, this will be a social evening to introduce the new programme with a short talk about how the new season is structured, info on competitions, practical evenings, talks, shoots, the studio, exhibitions etc. We'll then have a digital projection of member's images taken over the last 3 months.

If you're already a member or are thinking about joining and would like to include some of your work please send up to 8 images, they should be in a JPEG format with a maximum horizontal width of 1024 pixels with a maximum vertical height of 768 pixels. The colour space for your images should be sRGB. Please note that any work you submit for this event will still be eligible for future in-house or external club comps.

Please title your images like this: 01 my picture_your name.jpg and then email them to: aperturewoolwich@googlemail.com

The deadline for submissions is 9pm Monday 5 September. This should allow enough time to check all the pics and load them into the projection software.
