Prize-giving Night 2012

There was an enjoyable evening on Friday for our Annual Prize-giving night. 


A big thanks to John McCue for taking the pictures of the prize winners which are available on our Facebook page. 


Remember that we will be still meeting over the summer months in the clubhouse and hope to organise day out for members to take photos.

Spring Colour

Light & colour combined to make the little plaza at the Custom House look very attractive.

Slides Lamp

Here is an idea for all those old slides we have lying around.

I saw this for sale for £144.99 so it would be cheap to make ourselves...but could you do this to your old memories?

Ardmore Point

This was taken on a dull wet day in Port Glasgow.

After the storm

For those not on Facebook, here are a couple of post-storm pictures showing how the gales moved containers at the terminal around like kids' building blocks.

Don't forget that this Friday is the start of the new season.

This should be a great season with (possibly) plenty of pictures of the Tall Ships, contributions from our club members and a good batch of visiting speakers.

See you all and hopefully some new members at 7.30pm.

Nairn Beach Sunset

This was taken last summer on a windy beach. The sky was changing quickly thanks to the wind and was never the same for long.

New Season Competitions and Summer Assignment

These are on the site above now.
We are still in the process of compiling the new syllabus. Any ideas would be welcome from members or anyone visiting the site.

Winter's Art

I'm sure many of the members have been out recording the superb ice & light conditions we experienced over the holiday period but, as yet haven't uploaded to the website. So here are a couple of examples to get the ball rolling. I've chosen detail shots as opposed to the 'frosty landscape' pictures that are more the norm.

Happy Christmas

Merry Christmas to all our club members. Our programme was disrupted a little over the recent bad weather but thanks to members we were able to adapt our evenings. Here's hoping that next year will be a good one for the club.

World interest in our club

It's good to see the interest our site is geseating around the world.

United Kingdom 2,471

United States 532
Netherlands 254
Germany 165
Russia 84
Philippines 56
South Africa 38
Australia 33
France 32
Spain 31

Stormy Weather

This was taken on slide film a couple of years ago between heavy showers at Cardwell Bay. I liked the way the sun lit up the womans glasses and rainhood.

Candid Shots

This was taken in Glasgow across from the Weatherspoons in George Square. I liked the style of the man in the window whose hairstyle was similar to the Victorian bank workers who would have been in the orginal building.

There are some spectacular doorways between Great Western Road and Byres Road. It is worth a walk around this area especially early in the morning to see how they are individually decorated.

Langbank at Sunrise

This was taken from the West Ferry Point looking down the Clyde in Autumn 2010.

Nain Kite Flyer

I've just got round to working on my holiday snaps in Nairn from this summer. Nairn was very windy but had fabulous beaches and light to take photos.

Camera Light

Any old cameras lying about?
I noticed that a shop in London called Type has converted one into a lamp. Some of us camera enthusiasts my think this is a waste of a classic camera but at least it is being put to some good use.
The Brownie Light costs £120. Visit the Type website for contact detail and store opening times.

Camera Club Closed

Unfortunately our club will be closed this Friday due to our speaker being unable to make it due to the snow and ice.

Snow

For some of us the snow is a nuisance but for photographers it's an ideal opportunity to take photos if we are willing to brave the cold. The photo below was taken with my compact camera which I carry most places these days.

Matt Erskine Photos

Thanks to Matt for some of his images which are of the usual high standard. Some club members may be familiar with some of the excellent portraits and landscapes which were shown last season.
