Ron Wake Final

6/9/2016

0 Comments

 
The Ron Wake Memorial Trophy was held at Harrow CC this evening. The final selection of 21 prints were judged expertly with succinct and interesting comments by Ron Tear. Ron selected Tintype Portrait by Craig Pollock of Field End PS as the winning image. Ron also brought along a sample selection of his own prints which made for an interesting evening.

​The winning image looked clearly like a digital simulation of the 19th century tintype process. Coincidentally, I recently came across a collection of true tintypes by a US photographer, Joni Sternbach.
Her Surfland tintypes are fascinating:

Southbank Summer Stroll

4/9/2016

0 Comments

 
Mike Newman, John Wood, Stuart and Pat joined me for the Southbank summer walk.
We enjoyed some variable but interesting light, stopping to capture the book sellers under Waterloo Bridge and taking a look at a wooden model which had been erected on two long barges close to Blackfriars Bridge. The model represents the City skyline of 1666 and it was scheduled to be set on fire on Sunday evening to commemorate the Great Fire of London which took place 350 years ago.

3/9/2016

0 Comments

 
It's officially Autumn (meteorologically speaking) and XRR club meetings will resume on Wednesday with a brand new programme and set of photographic challenges.
 
I hope that it's been a good summer for all of you and that you have had some opportunities to take some interesting photographs. For our first meeting, please bring along some new season images on a usb stick or CD to share and try out with other members. Image that are correctly re-sized and formatted are of course eligible for selection for external competitions but don't worry if you don’t have time to re-size or format.
 
The first club competition is for projected images on 21 September, set subject 'Landscape', 2 set and 3 open. The judge will be Terry Coffey of Chalfonts & Gerrards Cross CC.
 
See you in the Larch Hall on Wednesday.​..
