News from the Secretary
April 2005
Off
to a winning Start....
Our Talk in March was by David Boag on his experiences on
a photographic project in the USA. This was well attended and very much enjoyed
by the members. David
always manages to convey his enthusiasm
for Photography, and this was evident not only by the quality of the talk and
the pictures, but the occasional "moving image" that surprised us at times.
The
April Competition....
It's that time of year again, for the open
competition for prints and slides.
Members may enter:
- Up to 2 Slides in the Slide section
- Up to 2 Prints in the print section
Remember, the new rules for print sizes
are that prints may be up to 20" x 16" in total size including any mount.
A
Talk by world renowned photographer Charlie Waite.....
Plans for our special end of year talk are
progressing, with tickets for members expected to be available from the end of
March, and then to Society members from the end of July.
If you have an idea or suggestion for a
talk or speaker, event or tutorial for our next season, please let the
Secretary know.
Digital
or Film......
We are often asked if the club caters for
Digital and/or Film users, and if so at what levels.
We welcome both fraternities into the
club, and have a range of members using basic compacts up to professional
cameras in both digital and film.
Which is better? - well that's a difficult
question, but it really depends on what you want to do, how quickly and how
big!.
If you have just acquired a camera, Film
or Digital and want to learn more about it, then consider joining a club . It
can be a lot more helpful than a pile of books or a formal course.
If you have an idea or suggestion for a
talk or speaker, event or tutorial for our next season, please let the
Secretary know.

About
this website...
This website is exclusively concerned with
the photography of the members of Marwell Zoological Society Photographic
Group.
Wildlife and animal photography is a
popular pastime. Most members of our group enjoy this aspect of Photography as
their principal photographic subject, so if you are looking for great
animal pictures...this is the place to look!
Of course we do take other pictures, but
as we are based at Marwell Zoo in Hampshire, it does tend to dominate our
thoughts. |
