Q: Change to programme – January 4th

This Thursday 4 th January 2024 we now have David and Pamela Severn. Their talk is entitled 'The Pam and I' and in the first half Pamela will talk about her journey to obtain her latest award from the PAGB and in the second half David will describe what is new at Studio3, their business in Long Eaton, for the 2024 season and his continuing avoidance of the use of photoshop! They are bringing prints for the break.

Q: Steve Bond knocks it out of the park

Steve Bond, long-time friend of MPS, recent talk 'Life and Times of a Freelance Sports Photographer' scored big with the members (OK, we'll stop the sporting puns now). We had the low down on how to shoot cricket and football, where to sit, what to look out for, what publications are looking for and plenty of examples of his great images, in print and online. As if capturing the action isn't hard enough, in this fast-paced digital age, he also has to get the images downloaded, named and electronically transferred so they can appear within minutes on live blogs and in the next days newspapers. Whilst I doubt any of us will be shooting premiership football anytime soon, Steve's insights can easily be applied to village clubs who will no doubt be grateful of someone capturing the action for them – we all have to start somewhere! We were also shown some great shots of the wildlife around Melbourne Pool and further afield (hence the above image – no sports shots due to copyright restraints). Steve's definitely in a league of his own (OK, one more sports pun) and I'm sure he'll be back again with more stories from the world of pro photography.

Q: Melbourne Arts Festival 2023

Thanks to everyone who visited our exhibition at the 2023 Melbourne Arts Festival and thanks to everyone who makes the festival such a great event to look forward to. We had nearly one thousand people visit over the weekend. There was plenty of questions to be answered about the work on display and we also got to hear plenty of visitors own facinating photographic stories, and some that had nothing to do with photography at all! To all those who mentioned they were interested in joining or coming along as the occasional visitor; we hope to see you soon!

Q: Programme Update – March 23rd

Quick programme update on the 23 rd March. David Keep , will be presenting on Thursday Night. He is locally based and an internationally recognised expert on Underwater Photography , who pre-covid visited us with a superb presentation. There were plans at the time for him to come back, but like many of these things, it was curtailed by Covid. I am pleased to say that he will be delivering a new presentation on Underwater photography , with absolutely stunning images, and a explanation of how they were captured. It should be a superb night. Full details of his work can be found at on his website , https://www.davidkeepphotography.co.uk/ See you all there , and feel free to bring friends and family if they are interested in such things. Normal rates apply. Programme We will be putting out an update on the programme during the coming week to clarify the all events in the remainder of the programme.
