The Greensand Country Landscape Partnership is presenting a number of photography workshops on Zoom. They are free but spaces may be limited. The workshops start this Saturday (20th March) and continue on an almost daily basis until the end of the month. Aimed principally at outdoor/landscape photography, the workshops cover a wide range of subjects including the use of filters, outdoor photography for beginners, post production techniques and how to get the best from smartphone cameras.

Local Nature Competition – £500 prizes
As a follow-up to our recent nature competition, where we had so many excellent and inspiring entries, you might find this interesting…
Campkins (a Cambridge Photographic shop) with The Wildlife Trusts of Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire are running a “free to enter” nature photographic competition titled “Celebrate the Seasons” with 3 prizes totalling £500 of merchandise.
Free Magnum Photos Lecture
Magnum Photos was established after WWII, in 1947, by Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson and two others, to reflect their independent natures as both people and photographers – the idiosyncratic mix of reporter and artist that continues to define Magnum to this day.
Magnum allows fine photographers the ability to work outside the formulas of magazine journalism, often covering wars, conflicts, famine etc.
Photography during the lockdown
Hello all,
During our last committee meeting we briefly discussed the legal issues of going out of the house to take photographs during the current lockdown. The Royal Photographic Society has sent us a link to their document which provides some excellent advice.

Exhibition 2021 cancelled
To all members of the Bedford Camera Club
After several discussions with Cliff and John Pegram, and considering the probable future effects of the Covid-19 issue, the Committee sees no other reasonable alternative than to cancel our proposed 2021 exhibition. Instead, we are asking our contacts at Bunyan Meeting to pencil us in for similar dates and times in the calendar year 2022. Although we have yet to hear from them on that, we believe that will be acceptable to them
