Coming Up: 1st Nov - Panel Critique Night / Select Mentor for Beginner Competition

Hi All,

This week in the club we have our "Panel Critique Night / Select Mentor for Beginner Competition". This will be a two part session to cater all beginners as well as anyone considering going for an accreditation.

Panel Critique Night - Please bring along 10/15 of your strongest images [on memory stick/CD or prints] and Donal McCann FRPS will go through these with you offering advise and guidance.

Select Mentor for Beginner Competition - The first of many fun BPIC competitions. We will split the group of beginners in two, one half being mentored by myself and the other half by Donal McCann. We will guide you through your images providing key feedback to improving the final image all in time for the beginners competition three weeks later.

This will also be the perfect opportunity for you to ask our advanced members advice on your images. If anyone would like feedback or critique on their work please bring along up to 5 prints or PDI's and we can talk through these and offer constructive ways on how to improve them.

Thanks

Barry
Chairman

Last Night: Critique Night

We kicked off last night's session by reviewing the PDI submission for NIPA round 1, members can find full results and judges comments here.

We then spent the rest of the evening in an informal critique of member's work, many thanks to Terry McCreesh and Gerald Gribbon for leading the proceedings with their insightful and constructive comments.  

We also encouraged feedback from the audience and were delighted with the amount of participation from a largely novice audience, as well as keen insights from the more experienced members.

We also introduced this season's membership card, please see Helen to receive yours.  A special shout out goes to Gerald Gribbon for the design and Brian Maguire for arranging the printing.
