SPECIAL GUEST William Cheung "My Passion for Photography"

This week we have a lecture from special guest William Cheung, Editor of Advanced Photography.

This is a joint special event with Bedford Camera Club and the Open University Camera Club.

We are meeting at Berrill Lecture Theatre, at the Open University, starting at 19:30.

 

Address:
The Open University
Berrill Lecture Theatre
The Berrill Building
Walton Hall
Milton Keynes
MK7 6AA

Just a quick note about parking, if you drive into the OU campus through the main entrance, past the security hut and take a right, the Berrill building is the large white building with the OU logo sign on top. Enter the building over the drawbridge into the main reception and someone will direct you to the cafe and the lecture.

Will Cheung FRPS has been an enthusiastic photographer for many years and is especially well known for his black & white images. Professionally, he has worked on photographic magazines for over 30 years, first joining Practical Photography and now editing Advanced Photography and Photography News. 

He shoots a wide variety of subject matter and is proud to specialise at being a non-specialist. Indeed, this talk "My Passion for Photography" covers everything from natural history to landscape, street and portrait and much more in-between. His approach to photography is an amateur who just loves using his camera and is happy to reveal his imaging techniques. His honest, open and passionate approach to his subject means his talks are always well received.

Entry is included for New City PS, BCC & OUCC. Non-members and other Camera Clubs are very welcome, with an entry fee of only £7.50 payable on the door. 

Can't wait to see you all there!

This week at NCPS

We're going to start the session off this week with Colin completing his critique of images submitted at the last members evening, but then....

We have the Phil Atkinson Versatility Challenge!  This is a competition devised and run in memory of Phil Atkinson, a past member of New City Photographic Society. The aim of this competition is to encourage members to take a broad range of images in a wide range of styles

There are five rounds:-

  1. Monotone City/Town scape
  2. Transport
  3. Environmental Portrait
  4. Animal, Bird or Insect
  5. Motion

There are 9 entrants, giving Stephen and Colin plenty to talk about as they'll be judging them (as they were joint winners in last years competition). The scores are aggregated, whoever has the highest score wins the trophy for a year and gets the honour of choosing next year's subjects as well as judging them in the next competition
