The quarterly competition was very close this evening. But out of the 50 odd entries we whittled them down to 10, and from there chose the final 3. Congratulations go to Peter, David and Pete who came 1, 2 and 3 respectively.

A Moment in Time

Posted on July 30, 2010 by admin

A quick reminder that this Sunday (1st August) is the day to take a photo for our ‘Moment in Time’ project. Remember it can be of anything but preferably of something that you are doing or of a place where you are, anything that depicts that moment in time! The only criteria is that it should be taken at 12:00 BST. If you are abroad you’ll have to make the necessary calculation! Please try to partake in this as it should prove interesting (hopefully) when we show the results in December.

NWBCC win first round of ‘International’ photo contest

Posted on February 18, 2010 by admin

The Isle of Man Photographic Society were the hosts for the first round of a digital photographic competition with the NWBCC recently. 25 specially selected images where dispatched to the Isle of Man at the end of last year to be put up against 25 from the Photographic Society. After a very close result, with only a few points in it, the NWBCC were the winners. It even made the news, local newspaper the Isle of Man Courier published an article about the competition.

The second round will be hosted by the NWBCC later this year.

Sports Photography with the Dings Crusaders

Posted on January 21, 2010 by admin

Last May the club was sent an email asking for someone to volunteer as team photographer for Dings Crusaders Rugby Club. I took on the Role. Since late August I have been attending all home games and some away games as team photographer. I take a few hundred photos each game, then send some to the Bristol Evening Post and the local paper of the opposition; on the Monday after a home game, there will be a photo or two in the Evening Post and sometimes they are printed in a national rugby paper. Each week, one of my photos is printed on the cover of the match programme, and several within it.

Since starting as team photographer, I have set up a website where people can order prints or downloads, www.avonsports.co.uk. It is a great job, and now I am looking for a sport to keep me busy in the summer.
