Past Events

We have decided to have another at providing advice that might help members achieve better results in their photography.  Please bring two prints that you consider to be “works in progress” and, in case numbers are smaller than anticipated, up to three “spares” to be used if time permits i.e. up to five altogether.  The prints do not need to be mounted and can be any size up to A3.

Members who do not have a printer can send DPIs to [email protected].  Files can be Tiffs, DNG’s or Jpegs, and have enough pixels for a reasonable print on A3 paper – say 2339 x 3307 and above.

Nick Rees is a professional marine artist who lives in Sully.  His passion is capturing the ever changing interaction between sea and light.
His presentation will touch on factors affecting both art and photography and will include a quick on the spot sketch and also paintings to illustrate this.  In the second half of the meeting Nick proposes to look at members’ photographs and explain how he would interpret them as paintings.

A firm favourite for the Club.

We will resume and complete our Salon Workshop in Ystradowen at 7.30 pm. Please bring your prints with you (your PDIs have already been sent).

Warren Alani is a professional photographer based in Northamptonshire. His presentation will challenge members to see things differently.  It covers a range of topics presented in a unique way and is designed to draw the eye and to express the elements and stories within.

This is a Zoom meeting in the comfort of your own home.

Details to follow, but planned to be in the Blue Anchor, Aberthaw.

Mike Davies has agreed, as an addition to our programme, to run a workshop at the hall. The intention is for members to have the opportunity of expert advice on the suitability of images for entry to the Welsh Salon.  The doors will open at around 7.00 pm and all are invited, whether or not you bring any images with you for Mike to look at.  Please send DPI’s to [email protected] beforehand (as usual JPEGs should be sized to be no greater than 1920 pixels along the horizontal edge and no greater than 1080 pixels along the vertical edge).

Members’ critique. Look out for the last date for submissions in the latest Valeflash. For guidance , see https://thevalephotographicclub.co.uk/competition-entries/
