Amy has won numerous photographic awards including the overall winner of the most recent, prestigious British Life Photography competition. The exhibition has been touring Britain throughout 2019. Amy says she takes about 5-6,000 photographs each week.

I came across an article on Computational Photography recently and thought some of you might be interested in reading it. The definition used in the paper is- ‘computational imaging techniques enhance or extend the capabilities of digital photography in which the output is an ordinary photograph, but one that could not have been taken by a traditional camera’
Muddy Dog Challenge was originally scheduled for June 29th, but as it was way too hot that day (that is hard to remember now) it was postponed to this Saturday October 12th

Don’t forget that this is when we have our Summer Events Competition, a reminder of all the photo opportunities we have had over the summer break, a chance to share your images and possibly win the Summer Events trophy.
The closing date for the competition is Tuesday 24th September.
Anyone who has attended a summer event may enter up to six images but please add your images to photoentry in order of preference in case we don’t have time to use them all.
Usual rules for sizing etc apply for entering images. If you need a reminder go onto the website, find the competitions tab then ‘submitting images and prints’. (This competition is PDIs only).
Please remember not to include your name or numbers in your image titles.
The photoentry site is open and ready for your entries – just log in, go to main menu and Summer Events.
We look forward to a good competition on the night so get cracking and enter your best images.
It is generally acknowledged that the best time for garden photography is at dawn, especially with the rising sun, mists or frosts. Unfortunately we rarely get the opportunity to do this in large private gardens.
