This Friday at KPS ...

Kingswood Photographic Society is absolutely delighted to welcome Peter Siviter EFIAP as their speaker on Friday 2^nd May giving an illustrated talk entitled A kind of magic. 

Peter says: "I joined my first camera club in 1978, Hagley Camera Club. I started entering FIAP and PSA exhibitions in 1981 and won my first medal in Smethwick International, a judges medal with an image called fade to grey, which went on to win FIAP and PSA gold medals. I joined Smethwick PS in 1983. I have won 6 PSA gold medals with 5 different images, I also have two sets of FIAP medals Gold, Silver, Bronze and FIAP ribbons. I have won the best slide at the PAGB club championships being the first person to do this twice. 

I have been a judge and lecturer for over 30 years in prints, slides, DPI and AVs. I have now converted to Digital for prints and DPIs. Last year I won the best social document DPI, the best portrait medals at FIAP exhibitions along with another medal and several HMs. 

My love is street photography and I travel all over the UK for street scenes, I then use photoshop to change the backgrounds and other items. I also travel widely with several trips abroad each year and most of the images are used in AVs and also backgrounds for my street photography. 

I enjoy creating AVs and DPIs which are a little different from the normal and I believe I have a very creative mind and produce images which have a style of my own." 

This promises to be an absolutely fascinating evening so we hope to see you there. Kingswood PS meet Fridays from 7.30pm to 9.30pm at St Barnabas Church Hall, Warmley, Bristol  BS30 5JJ.  Visitors are most welcome and the cost for this evening is £3.00.
