MEMBERS’ EVENING
Tuesday
19th November 2008
CRITIQUE WITH JOHN
WELLS FRPS
John Wells FRPS
John’s usual humorous
banter got the evening off to a good start. He invited club members to air their own
opinions as pictures were displayed and there
was good interaction by members and helpful, informative advice from
John.
One very pleasing thing
about the meeting was the number of new members entering photographs for
criticism.
Vice chairman,
Ted French, thanked everyone who submitted pictures and thanked John for
a highly entertaining evening. Ted
said he thought we would all benefit from John’s useful tips.

AN EVENING DEVOID OF GLAMOUR
With
John Bulpitt FRPS
John’s
lecture this evening may have been called, An Evening Devoid of Glamour, but the photographs he showed were
full of beauty! Breathtaking
shots of sportsmen and women, birds in flight, insects and small creatures,
were admired by all the members.
After
gaining his FRPS, John told us, he moved from film to digital.
John
gave us a number of useful pieces of advice. He said:
“If you want to be consistently successful, you must know your
subject. Know your camera or a once-in-a-lifetime
picture could be lost by wasting time trying to re-set it.”
His final piece of advice? For good
shots – think ahead. Plan
where you will stand, exactly what image you want to achieve.
Ted
French, thanked John for a superb evening.
