AGM 2022

31/3/2022

0 Comments

 
An evening of firsts, our first meeting at our new home in Corby and our first zoom hybrid. The evening gave us the chance to settle in to our new surroundings and iron out any technical problems. Hopefully our new Corby location will encourage some newcomers. We had an extremely good turn out for our AGM, almost 100% attendance. Thank you to all our members and committee for their continued support. We are looking forward to an enjoyable and successful year ahead.

Annual Exhibition of the Vale of Evesham

16th MARCH 2021 - Annual Exhibition of the Vale of Evesham Photo 2021 ​

We had a good and lively discussion on why images are successful in Exhibitions and Competitions while also looking at the stunning entries in the Vale of Evesham Exhibition Photo 2021 Nature Section.  I felt we all learnt from it and hope some were encouraged to enter National Exhibitions themselves.  This should also help us to make informed decisions when we come to selecting our External Competition entries later this year although you all did an excellent job in our last image selection pole.

Smartphone Photography

9th MARCH 2022 - Smartphone Photography by Jeanette Lendon

A great talk from a great speaker with a great personality.  Jeanette Lendon’s enthusiasm touched us all with her no-nonsense, often humorous, and very informative presentation on Smartphone Photography.  Not only were we impressed with her photography we learnt a lot of techniques and tips which included post editing on the phone. We now have no excuses to miss a shot and will never again have a reason to say, “if only I had my camera with me”.

Smartphone photography - more than just a camera on a phone.  See how the smartphone camera has evolved, and is no longer 'just a phone'. Learn how Jeanette went from a successful corporate and commercial photographer, to running her own smartphone photography masterclasses and not even owning a 'big' camera any more. She will also let you into to some of the tips and tricks of taking creative photos with your smartphone. Will the smartphone ever take over the DSLR??!!!

4th MARCH 2022 - FRIDAY - Fosse Co-op Camera Club Inter Cities Trophy 2022

We are extremely proud to be able to tell you that Corby came second out of 14 clubs in this years Fosse Co-op InterCities Competition. 

Congratulations go to Leicester Forest on their win, with thanks to Fosse, for hosting, and the Judge Mike Sharples MFIAP MPAGB FBPE ARPS EFIAP. 

This was our last External Competition for this season, which has been very successful with us beating both Desborough and Market Harborough in our Annual Battles.  We have done better than we have ever done at St Ives and at Fosse.  We have had Images accepted in MCPF Photofolio and Midphot plus several other National and International Exhibitions and Salons.

Surely our success has been due to everyone upping their game and producing some outstanding images in our monthly competitions.  This has given the club as a whole the material to select good entries in all the competitions.  Well done everybody.

​DPI Battle with Market Harborough Photographic Society


Judge Harry Emmett CPAGB roll of honour L&CPU​

A great evening with our friends at 
Market Harborough Photographic Society for this years annual battle. Well done to Market Harborough who achieved the top two placed images, however congratulation go to Corby for a very decisive win.

Many thanks goes to the judge Harry Emmett CPAGB from Accrington Camera Club.  Harry was a very astute judge who never missed a detail.  He enthused over the good points of the weaker images, made constructive suggestions on how to improve the stronger ones and gave a broad range of measured and meaningful marks.
