This meeting is an opportunity for you to bring any prints that you think might be suitable for entry into the Welsh Salon. Finished, mounted prints are not required; early drafts are fine.
All members are asked to give constructive comments and/or advice.
DPI Comp 2; Welsh Salon DPI thoughts and advice
We will start with the DPI Competition 2, which was aborted on 8 January.
For the WIP session, we recommend that you bring along DPI images that might be suitable for the 2026 Welsh Salon, for constructive discussion and suggestions.
Competition 2
Our first meeting in 2026 will be a Competition. So get your prints and DPIs ready and look out for emails for details.
Members may submit up to one colour print and one monochrome print. These should be sturdily mounted in a mount not exceeding 500x400mm, and labelled with the image title, membership number (not name) and number of the Competition. They should be handed in on the evening of the competition.
Members may also submit one colour digital image (DPI) as a jpeg file, AND one monochrome DPI. They should be sized to be no greater than 1920 pixels along the horizontal edge and no greater than 1080 pixels along the vertical edge. The file name should be allocated in the format:

Presentations and Christmas Social
This will be our last meeting before Christmas. There will be three members’ presentations, followed by an informal get together.
A Career in Portaiture – Krish Nagar
Krish Nagar is an internationally published fine art, alternative fashion and portrait photographer. His presentation will include working in the above fields plus the importance of lighting, composition and framing.
Work in Progress 1
Following last season’s success of the ‘WIP’ sessions, this will be the first of three.
Members are asked to select two prints that they 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 prints altogether. The prints do not need to be mounted and can be any size up to A3. Members who do not have a printer – please contact [email protected].
At the hall, tables will be laid out for 3 groups. Before the tea break, each group will discuss one print, before moving on to the next. After the tea break, one or more spokespersons from each table will be asked to show each of the prints on their table to all members present, and provide a summary of observations and suggestions they and their fellow members have made. This provides opportunities for further comments from the floor.
