Kirkbymoorside & District Camera Club |
The autumn programme consisted of 5 entertaining and informative evenings with
guest speakers covering a variety of topics. It started with Nigel Harrison (of
Radio York fame) giving his ‘Introduction to flower photography’, this was very
well received as it showed Nigel’s progress from a ‘snapper’ to a photographer.
We then had Keaton Roebuck from Pontefract who showed some amazing colour
prints. What really impressed us was that he had printed them himself in the
darkroom, which must be one of the hardest things in photography. We digital
photographers find it hard to appreciate the effort that goes into the
production of these prints as we churn out prints on our inkjet printers.
One evening showed how the presenter
had progressed to a licentiate of the RPS, another ‘A walk on the wild side –
through the eyes of a fox’ and then the highly qualified Keth Suddaby from
Morpeth presented ‘The House of 100 windows’, even more amazing images. Whilst
all this was going we had our exhibition at Sutton Bank; this was attended by
over 1000 visitors and from the comments received, greatly appreciated.
The winter season has a number of competitions; club competitions for
monochrome, digital and applied, a three way print battle with Malton and
Scarborough, and then just before Christmas we have our fun en-print competition
and mince pie evening, not so much of a competition more a social gathering. In
the New Year we have the popular Yorkshire photographer Steve Gosling returning
and he will be giving his interpretation on ‘The Natures of Creativity’. Later
we have a visit by the Yorkshire Monochrome Group and then Len Shepherd from
Leyburn presents ‘Landscapes and Wild things’
If you would like to know more about
the club come along to one of our meetings at 7.30 pm. on the first and third
Thursdays of each month at the British Legion Club, Kirkbymoorside where you
will find a group of friendly people, of all abilities and experience, with a
common interest.
