On October 6th we will hold the Summer Event Competition that, due to a somewhat strange year, will be called “The Season in Lockdown”
This is an open PDI competition to be judged by you, the members, via a method yet to be revealed!
Points of View Recap
Many thanks to all those who were able to get to the POV event in Sharnbrook over the past weekend.
The weather was warm and sunny both days, so I guess we will be short of a few dramatic storm images
Just to let you know, you need to submit 6 images, one image for each of the 6 themes. Submit all six via the usual Photo Entry website by December 1st.
Points of View this Weekend
This weekend, September 12/13th, the club holds its first event for 2020-21
The Points of View location is Sharnbrook (8 miles north of Bedford via the A6.) You can photograph anytime over the 48 hours of Saturday AM to Sunday PM. All image content must have been taken over this weekend within the bounds of Sharnbrook.
The challenge is to get 6 images, one for each of the 6 themes, see below.READ MORE
Points of View 2020 Announcement
The first event of the 2020-21 program is the Points of View event to be held over the weekend September 12th and 13th.
I have written a PDF with all the details, location, six themes. Please download it and I hope I see you over that weekend.
The PDF includes details of what the POV event entails for those that are new to the competition.
Cliff has also volunteered to lead and assist a group of new members, details in the PDF.
We have the added concern over the COVID issue. I think we can run this event within the guidelines. I have included in the PDF some links to these guidelines and how we should work within them.
Any questions please do ask

Displacement Maps – Tattoos and Textures
At last night’s club meeting on Zoom I galloped through creating and using a displacement map to put a texture or tattoo onto a subject, be it a person or text onto some material.
I have now documented the Photoshop steps plus some additional information. Those interested in trying it out can work through it in a more leisurely fashion.
If you do work your way through it please let me know if I have made any mistakes in my document
Many thanks

Triptychs and Panels – More Information
One of the two themes for this week’s Weekly images is a Triptych/panel
There is an art to constructing a panel of images.
Panels of three images are great for impressive living room displays and many clubs hold panel competitions. The RPS also require their submissions for accreditation to be arranged as a panel
Those that would like to think more seriously about creating an impressive panel of images here are some good links to start with…
