This Friday at KPS ...

Kingswood Photographic Society is absolutely delighted to welcome for the first time, Les Loosemore ARPS, AWPF, DPAGB, a Fotospeed photographer, as their speaker, giving an illustrated talk, ‘Distinction Prints Panels’.  It will be a presentation of print distinction panels, including successes and failures, demonstrating structure, content and presentation, which will be followed by discussion on making of distinction panels. 

 

Les says:  “I decided to take a more serious approach to photography just after the new millennium. Having spent more than 30 years in a sporting environment, both playing and refereeing association football, coupled with a serious interest in competitive cycling, I decided to start my photographic journey in the sporting arena. My involvement in professional football allowed me to gain accreditation to matches played in the Football League. This was a very interesting and pleasing experience, progressing to a similar experience at professional rugby and cricket matches. 

 

This early occurrence and exposure to my photography, all shot on negative film, quickly challenged my expanding appetite to pursue other aspects of this fascinating pastime. Film turned to digital and sporting arenas turned to nature’s pastures and rich tapestry. The journey had started. 

 

Photography offers a huge variety of subject matter, full of interest and challenge. It has become a passion, providing enrichment and satisfaction from something that is so accessible to us all.  There is just one simple rule to observe, ‘Enjoy your photography’.”  

 

This promises to be a superb and interesting evening so we hope to see you there.  For a taster of some of the treats that are in store, pop on to Les’s page on the flickr site, www.flickr.com/photos/21362899@N08/, his flickr name is fotocallvisions.
