Shillington and District Camera Club

         A SERIES of fascinating evenings are in prospect for club members in February as guest photographers line up to provide a wide variety of photographic treats.

          Kicking off the plethora of themes on Monday 4 February guest speaker Graham A Matthews will be showing his 'Expedition India' showcase while the following week on Monday 11 February Peter Milsom of Ware and District Photographic Society and Harpenden Photographic Society will be guesting with 'What I have learnt from Sport'.

           The guest evenings continue on 18 February with Robert Boenke of Ware and District Photographic Society illustrating his 'Digital Art' lecture.

            The month ends with the Print and PDI Competition - 'Urban Street Photos' - judged by Sarah Kelman of Cambridge Camera Club on Monday 25 February.

             Back on 10 December the Print and PDI competition concentrated on Close Up pictures with Gary Baker taking the honours in the PDI section with his offering 'Common Blue on Grass Seedhead' and Shirley Hollis in first place in the print section with 'Succulent Detail'.

            Bob Brind-Surch ended the season pre-Christmas with a lecture called 'Beyond Auto Mode which encouraged photographers to experiment more with different camera adjustments and features to produce better pictures.

             The 2019 session kicked off with an evening of brilliant, albeit highly manipulated, photographs taken from the portfolio of entries from club members in the East Anglian Federation of camera clubs.

             On a sad note club members heard of the death of long-serving club member Alan Whitcroft after a short illness. Acknowledged as one of the club's finest photographers, the retired design engineer died on 24 November last year and his funeral was held on Thursday 13 December.

              Alan, 77, who once lived in Barton le Clay, held a number of leading club committee appointments and was always closely involved with the club's annual exhibition. His love of photography was described as his "true vocation" and club secretary John Henrich said: "Alan will be sadly missed".
