Inter Club Print Challenge
On Sat 11 March our
President, along with Kathryn, Derek went to
Didsbury (home of S. Manchester) to attend the L&CPU "Three
competitions" day. In the morning there was the inter-club slide comp
to decide which
two clubs (in addition to Wigan 10) would represent L&CPU in the PAGB
national
championships at Warwick in July; we came second to S. Manchester.
In the afternoon the equivalent comp for prints was held and we won.
It was the first time that trophy had been awarded (they must have used a
different
selection procedure for prints in the past).

*********************************************
Member gets published
SPS Member Martin Woods,
was approached last year by a picture researcher working for AVA publishing
about some book projects she was working on. She had seen some of his pictures
on a website. AVA publish a lot of art and photography books. The researcher
asked him to submit some images for consideration for a book they were working
on called "An Advanced Guide to Digital Photography"
by Vincent Oliver. Martin submitted three shots
to the author and after initially accepting two it was then trimmed to one
in the final editing stage. Martin was required to send details of all digital
processing carried out on the image and create some screen grabs of the work
in progress which may also be used in the book. The book is now in the final
stages of publication and will be available in January and his landscape image
"Lancashire Marshes at Dawn" will be
featured. As far as he knows it isn't being used as an example of how not
to take digital pictures, but won't know exactly what the book says until
he get his
free copy in January.
Details of the book can be found on AVA's website under the Photography book
list. The web address is http://www.avabooks.co.uk
Well done Martin
