Campkins Cameras of Cambridge (try saying that quickly a few times) is a good camera shop in Cambridge. They run an annual photography week of talks and trade stalls. This year it has gone online, from Nov 16th to 22nd.
There is a talk by Jonathan Vaines, a few from our Olympus friend Dave Smith and many other interesting, brand-sponsored speakers who are well worth watching.
Hello All
I trust you enjoyed Simon’s talk this past Tuesday, and now feel inspired to create monochrome landscapes for our next internal competition!
The next Competition, a “monochrome” only event, is November 17th with up to 3 pdi entries to be submitted by November 10th.
The competition will be judged by Jonathan Vaines AFIAP CPAGB LRPS
Please note you may submit 3 pdis per person, however if we exceed an overall entry greater than 80 we will cull to a maximum of 2 pdis per person so please be aware per below and take appropriate action.
The plan is do this in Photo Entry and the method used will be per below from the PE faq’s
“…it is not uncommon to end up with more Entries than a judge can comfortably cope with, and the administrator needs to be able to cull some Entries out. This is normally done according to a “priority” order that each User sets for his/her Entries. It has always been possible to do this manually, but there is now a Cull Entries action available to help.
The prerequisite is to ensure that Users have their Entries in descending order of priority – i.e. with the highest priority at the top of their Entry list. If necessary, the User can use the little blue buttons beside each Entry to re-order them…“

Have fun,
