Yorkshire Photographic Union
The Yorkshire PU is holding its annual exhibition in the centre of Sheffield, 5-18 May where selected images from photographic clubs and societies across Yorkshire will be on display. The YPU Annual Exhibition showcases images selected from members of 73 clubs from throughout Yorkshire. Many award-winning and critically-acclaimed photographers will be displaying the finest examples from their portfolios. The 200 print and 200 digital images are selected from hundreds of entries and guarantee the highest standard and finest examples of photography from members of Yorkshire’s photographic clubs. Many of these images will go on to represent Yorkshire at national level at the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain and in turn at international level. Alan Stopher, CPAGB, president of the Yorkshire Photographic Union, commented “The Annual Exhibition is the high point of the Yorkshire Photographic Union’s calendar. The
exhibition is a showcase for the best amateur photography in the county and I’m delighted that it is returning to Sheffield this year.” The categories for print and projected digital images include land/seascape, portrait, travel, nature and wildlife, altered reality, action and architecture in both colour and monochrome. There is something for everyone with every genre of photography represented to enthuse and inspire visitors to the exhibition. Stewards will be on hand during the day to answer questions or discuss photography. The exhibition is free and takes place at the Channing Hall, Surrey Street, Sheffield S1 2LG. Opening hours are 10am – 5pm on 5 May and 11am –4pm, 7-18 May. Closed Sundays.

Colchester PS
Colchester PS held its annual ‘Three on a theme and Digital Triptych’ competition, aimed at challenging members’ creative skills. The evening was a great success with an increased number of high- quality prints and PDIs. Judged by Tom Peck, a sublime panel of three prints by Chrissie Hart ARPS was the winner of the challenge, and Ben Heather CPAGB won the Digital Triptych, with an almost impressionistic view of the Institut Valencia d’Art Modern.
