Summer Events Update – Kathy Brown's Garden


Visit to Kathy Brown's Garden now on 10 August 2021.

This is an update to arrangements to visit Kathy Brown's Garden

The proposed visit for 27 July was postponed due to forecast bad weather.  It has been rearranged for the evening of 10 August when the weather should be dry and warm.  So, there is another opportunity to take part in the visit.  Please get in touch with Linda via summerevents@bedfordcameraclub.co.uk if you would like to add your name to the list.  Previous need not reapply.

Box End Images Wanted

Posted on by
Hi folks. 
 
Many of you attended our summer evening at Box End and I hope that you enjoyed it and managed to get some good images. 
 
When arranging the evening I was asked by the team at Box End if we would let them have some photographs in return for letting us come along. 
 
Please can you support this request by selecting some of your pictures to send to them? Their members enjoy seeing the pictures that we take and I think it’s important to support them in return for letting us use them as a summer event
 
If you haven’t done so yet, and would like to share some images on the Club’s Event album and for Box End, please upload them now to Summer 2021 Events > Box End on your Photo Entry account. The album closes on Tuesday 27th. The max upload limit has been increased to 10.
 
(If you have already uploaded images to the P.E. album but don’t wish to share them with the Box End wakeboarders please remove them before the 27th)
 
The link to the Club Events 2021 album is here
 
Help on using Photo Entry here
 
I and the Box End wakeboarders are looking forward to seeing your shots
 
Many thanks
 
Steve

Image Titles

Posted on by

How do you give titles to your images?

Mostly I tend not to give it much thought and go for the obvious, describing what is in the picture, e.g. Blue Flower or Sunset or, heaven forbid, Approaching Storm

But the title is more important than just a way to identify the image and I should give it more thought than I do afford it.

Competition judges will sometimes mention the appropriateness or otherwise of a title, or even ridicule it. They will also take more interest in the title if they are having a problem understanding an image.

John Paul Caponigro has recently covered this subject in two short articles. His second one “How to Title Your Images” provides a decent checklist of title styles that can help you create an image title. Also see his first article How I Title My Images

Should an image presented in a club competition warrant a different style of title to one you wish to sell in a gallery? Discuss.

Members are encouraged to share some of their images from each summer event.

Typically, from each event you have 2 weeks to submit up to 5 images into the appropriate section on your Photo Entry page. The images are then moved to the online gallery page.

The latest event for images for Box End closes 27th July. If you have some images to share please do upload them now.

Meanwhile, why not enjoy a butcher’s with those taken at the earlier events
