MEETING 06.01.22

After being Covid-careful over Christmas, the Club decided to revert to Zoom meetings for a while until there are more encouraging signs that social mixing is safe. So the first thing on the Zoom agenda was a journey via images from a shoot last Summer which took four members around (1) the older part of central Bristol with its intriguing mix of beautiful architecture, graffiti and youthful activities; (2) the harbourside with its striking graphic shapes of cranes and plenty of boats; (3) and the newer Millenium Square area, a great space for nighttime fun. Plus Clifton Suspension Bridge for good measure! A small selection is shown below.

The second part of the evening brought us up to December 2021 with a review of members' images taken as the variable weather allowed. Plus a reminder about our good fortune in having clean water in this country.

The meeting closed after a reminder about starting preparation for the Club's annual exhibition (May 1 & 2, 2022)

MEETING 11.11.21

Star club member of the meeting was PHILIP MALE, with his presentation 'A Year in the life of a Little Owl family', a distillation of many, many hours of observation and photographing these characterful birds. Afterwards one member commented that watching the story unfold (with excellent stills and videos of course) was 'Better than Autumn or Spring Watch'. Eat your heart out BBC! (Philip can be followed on Flickr for more wildlife images and other subjects)

Most of our members joined in the monthly challenge to submit one image representing their photography during the previous month. Finding something different is all part of the fun! A few selected from the entries are shown below:

There was also a colourful short AV on Bristol Street Art in an area around St Pauls and Stokes Croft, wall and house paintings making political, cultural and artistic statements.

Come and visit us again - Spring Bank Holiday 2020!

2019 EXHIBITION - ANOTHER SUCCESS!

A great Spring Bank Holiday turnout of visitors dropped in to the annual Lacock Positive Print Exhibition, which provided good fun for people trying to chose their 3 favourite images!

BBC Wiltshire dropped in on Sunday 5 May to interview David Sage, Lacock Positive Chair, to discuss the exhibition.
Lovin' the dark glasses David!

FANTASTIC EXHIBITION WEEKEND!

The weather couldn't have been lovelier for the Spring Bank Holiday and it certainly helped with visitor numbers to Lacock Positive's Annual Print Exhibition.

We encourage visitors to choose their favourite three images, a task that many found very difficult as there were many comments about the excellence of all the images on show, which was very encouraging!

The following were voted the top ten favourites by visitors:

1st: Phil Selby: Forever Autumn
