A reminder that next week’s club meeting (i.e. the one on Thursday, 9th March) will be taking place at 7:30pm at Beeslack Penicuik Camera Club and not at Fisherrow. The club meets at Beeslack Penicuik Community High School, Edinburgh Road, Penicuik, Midlothian, EH26 0QF.
This is the repeat of the much-acclaimed presentation on Wildlife Photography by Ron McCombe, which we missed last time because of the snow. Here’s hoping for better weather next week.

I would be grateful if you will post the details on the Web site in respect of the Portrait Workshop
I have booked our normal room 3 for the following dates 14th & 28th March 7.30 – 9.30pm.
Interested members are welcome to come along – the first evening will be used to famililarise ourselves with setting up and using the studio equipment and some practical work. Please bring along a camera and tripod if you have one.
The only cost the first night will be the cost of the room – if we then progress to hiring models then these will needed to be funded. If anyone has any volunteers to be models then this would keep costs down.

The deadline is fast approaching for both the FIAP Colour Print Biennial and the FIAP Projected Image Biennial, and although we have received a number of images from authors already, we could do with a few more to choose the strongest panel. We require a total of 30 photos to complete both of the above entries. Each panel must have a strong coherence both in subject, size and shape which makes it more difficult to select, so even if you have submitted entries on the above themes before, we would welcome any additional images you can send us.
Submission is open to all SPF Club members to submit images. PDIs only in the first instance please (1400×1050 or 1024×768 jpegs**) For the Beach Scenes category, please only submit Square or Landscape format images. The Creative Still Life Format has yet to be determined. If your entry is selected we will require a file 2400 pixels on the longest side for PDI use or a file capable of printing A3 size. Please send your photos to Clive Turner, FIAP Liaison Officer to the email address supplied at the bottom of this email.
If you have a change in your Club Committee from the people receiving this email please let us know now as we are updating the SPF Directory for issue early 2017.
We require all of the following details not just an email address – Name, Postal address, Phone Number and email address please. Those details should be sent to Libby Smith as soon as possible on the contact details below
or 34 Braemar Crescent, Carluke ML8 4BH
Kind regards,
Libby Smith
A reminder that there is no MCC meeting at Fisherrow this Thursday. Instead we have the 3-way competition, which takes place in Stirling at 7:30pm on Wednesday, 7th December 2016.
The competition is hosted by Stirling Camera Club at the Lomond Suite of the Birds and Bees Restaurant in Causewayhead, Stirling. Here is a map of the venue:
This coming Thursday, November 3rd, we have our Colour Print Competition, judged by Al Buntin. November 3rd is also the submission date for this year’s Human Portrait print competition. The arrangement is the same as for the colour print competition – please bring up to 3 mounted prints and also send digital JPEG copies of your images to George Todd (georgetodd1957@me.com). If you have prints but can’t make in on Thursday (e.g. if you’re attending the Colin Prior evening at Beeslack) please contact George to arrange an alternative way to drop off your prints.
The human portrait competition is similar to the colour print competition, except that the main subject must be a person or group of people. The competition is not restricted to posed portraits. Street performers, sporting events, people at work, dancers, candid group shots and battle reenactments, etc… are also example themes. Best of luck!
Hi All,

If you need to get me please use mikeclark100@sky.com
