New Season

Our new season begins on Tuesday 4 September at 8pm. This is a Welcome to AWPS Evening with information about membership, a preview of what we have in store for the coming season, competitions, our on-site studio, day/evening shoots, guest speakers etc. 

During the second part of evening there will an opportunity to meet the group, catch up on news with a glass of something cheeky and a few choice nibbles accompanied by a digital projection of some of the top scoring work from last season's competitions. 

If you have an interest in photography, beginner or expert, you are welcome to come along to 4 of our meetings before deciding whether to join.

AWPS/Vibe Public Photography Competition

Aperture Woolwich Photographic Society has teamed up
with the News Shopper Vibe magazine in a quest to find
the best photographers, young and old, across Greenwich
and Lewisham.

Whether it’s a pricey DSLR or a mobile phone you use to
capture your subjects, we want to see what you can do
behind the lens.

Our snappy contest is FREE to enter and is split into two
categories, one for under 18s and one for over 18s, and the
theme for pictures is Greenwich and Lewisham during
the Olympics 2012 which is open to interpretation from
our entrants.

Entrants can send in a maximum of two pictures saved as
JPEGs, no more than 1024 pixels wide or tall, to
vibepics@woolwichphotographic.com

The closing date for photo submissions is 20th August 2012.
The winners will be announced at the end of September

The competition is open to everyone, except current AWPS members and their families.

AWPS in Space!

On Tuesday 8 May at 8pm, we are very, very lucky to be hosting a talk from the Royal Observatory Greenwich. 

Ever thought about astrophotography? Been put off by other incredible deep sky images or planetary close ups? Fear not! Astrophotography is for everyone and is simple to pick up.

Join Astronomers from the Royal Observatory Greenwich for some top tips on getting started and hear a behind the scenes account of their Astronomy Photographer of the Year competition, an international prize for amateur astrophotographers.

Guest speakers – Dr Marek Kukula, Public Astronomer and Astronomy Photographer of the Year judge, Brendan Owens, Astronomer, Emma McLean Astronomy Photographer of the Year competition manager.


This is the first time the presentation will be made outside the Observatory so tickets are in short supply. If you haven’t already been in touch with Stu Mayhew to confirm you are attending please urgently drop him a note at stumayhew@aol.com and don’t forget to arrive ready to start at 8pm.
