Kingswood Photographic Society is
absolutely delighted to welcome Christine
Widdall MPAGB, EFIAP, FBPE for the
first time, as their speaker on Friday 17th November who will be giving
an illustrated talk entitled Portfolio.
In addition to the images we will see during her presentation, Christine will also bring several mounted prints for
members to view during the evening.
Christine
says: “I’m a photographer based in the North West of England in an area called
Saddleworth, situated in the historic County of York, though administered from
the Lancashire town of Oldham! Many of my photographs are made around the
lovely area of Saddleworth, especially its hills and waterways.
Photography
is as familiar as sleeping and eating.
In fact I seem to do much more photography related things than I do
sleeping and eating these days! I am never happier than when I’m pressing
the shutter button, unless it’s being in front of the computer and editing
images.
My aim
is very simple and straightforward – to try to capture places, people and
moments in time and make them as beautiful and interesting as possible. I was brought up taking pictures and learned
how to process them in the darkroom from the age of about 5 and the excitement has
never diminished for me. In common with
so many others, I have ‘gone digital’ in recent years and now use a digital SLR
for image capture. My pictures have been
primarily made for my own pleasure. Some are ‘competition’ pictures, others
just an expression of my enjoyment of a day, an area or a subject.
I try
to go beyond the objective recording of fact and to use self-expression to
provide an interpretation of my subjects. Many of my competition images are composite. I love experimenting to see what I can achieve
with blends of images from different times and different places.
Initially
a hobby, photography has now become a major part of my life, as an exhibitor
and judge and in 2011 I was accepted as one of 20 Lecturers in the UK who are
supported by PermaJet."
