This Friday at KPS ...

Kingswood Photographic Society is absolutely delighted that two of its members, Joanne Searle ARPS, AFIAP, AWPF, CPAGB and Gordon Wilcock, have agreed to give us an illustrated talk entitled Our photographic journeys on Friday 12^th February.

Joanne says:  “I enjoy all aspects of photography but always try to find that something different.  The most ordinary picture can be transformed by moving the camera to a different angle and introducing dramatic lighting. Lighting plays an enormous part in capturing that magical moment and we all strive to find it. People pictures give me much satisfaction, with attitudes and expressions telling the story, and I look for those moments. I enjoy graphical pictures where angles and lines are dominant features adding that feeling of strength to the picture. I also enjoy a picture where your imagination is allowed to wander, leaving you unsure of your conclusions.

However, my part of the evening is being devoted mainly to ‘recruitment’ for the LRPS and ARPS Advice Groups. I will be showing my ‘L’ panel and my journey to the ‘A’ panel hoping that it will give inspiration to KPS members to join those who are already well on their way to success.”

Gordon says:  “I have been interested in photography since setting up a darkroom when I was a teenager. However after qualifying professionally my interest was constrained by work and family responsibilities until about four years ago when I invested in a good quality DSLR and some lenses. My interests have always been general, but with an emphasis on ornithology.

I will show members some of the images I have produced over the last four years since taking it more seriously, and finish with my LRPS panel, much influenced by the KPS advisory sessions, which I hope I will know the outcome of by the meeting.  I would emphasize that I am very much on the early part of the learning curve, and hope members won't mind."

This promises to be a splendid and inspiring evening so we hope to see you there.

Kingswood PS meet Fridays from 7.30pm to around 9.30pm at St Barnabas Church Hall, Warmley, Bristol BS30 5JJ.  Visitors are most welcome and the cost for this evening is £3.00.
