BanburyCamera Club Annual Exhibition
Banbury CC is holding its 15th annual exhibition in The Heseltine Gallery at Chenderit School, Archery Road, Middleton Cheney, OX17 2QR. It is open during school hours, 10am to 4pm, from 30 October to 2 November, and from 11am to 4pm over the weekend of 3 and 4 November each day, when clubmembers will be present. Entry to the exhibition is free. Two distinctive features of the exhibition are the venue and the support for a local charity. There will be about 130 framed prints on display in the purpose-built Heseltine Gallery, a venue which has housed both
the Royal Photographic Society’s International Print Exhibition and the RPS International Images for Science Exhibition. For the past 13 years Banbury CC has supported the local Katharine House Hospice through its exhibition. Last year, more than £800 was raised for the hospice through the sale of prints and members’ greetings cards, as well as through donations fromvisitors and fromthe sale of Katharine House Calendars. Club members have supplied the photographs for this calendar for the past six years.

On Barking Photographic Society enjoyed a presentation by David Boag about his life as a professional wildlife photographer as part of its 70th anniversary celebration. The event was open to local Essex camera clubs and societies and was well attended. It proved to be a super evening with great images and interesting and humorous anecdotes.

City of London expanding its photographic horizons
Two members of the City of London and Cripplegate Photographic Society (COLCPS) in London are also members of the Camera Club of Hendersonville (CCOH) in North Carolina in the USA. The two clubs are similar in size and both embrace a general approach to photography with members whose abilities range from beginners to professional photographers. There are some differences though – apart from photographic
styles, COLCPS is based in central London and CCOH is located close to the Blue Ridge Mountains in Appalachia. “Enjoying a chat with some of the COLCPS club members over a beer one evening we thought it would be fun to have an annual competition between the two clubs, designed as a friendly competition,” says club chairman Natalie Robinson. “The rules were simple – each club would enter 20 DPI images (5 images in four categories). Last year we chose landscape, dereliction, abstract and family. The resulting 40 images would be scored blindly and the highest total score would determine the winner. To encourage participation by as many club members as possible there was no limit to the number of images which each member
could submit for consideration but for the final club submission only one image per category per photographer was allowed. “We felt these categories were broad enough to give each club a fair chance and to challenge the photographers to move outside their comfort zones and try some new types of images.” cityandcripplegate-ps.org cameraclubofhendersonville. com
