This month we had two speakers with a similar recipe for success. Both Simon Allen and Jim Welsh had devised ways of making fairly ordinary seeming pictures into images that stood out from the crowd. Jim had a bought-in solution and Simon had devised his own Photoshop techniques to distort reality and so grab attention. They both seemed to work and if entering big competitions is your aim then perhaps that could be the way forward.
I was impressed by the enthusiasm of our guests from Hartlepool and I am sure that some mutual benefit was obtained from the exchange. I also enjoyed the comments of Alan Porrett and found him an excellent competition judge. His picture analysis was precise and to the point.
Can I say that it was a great pleasure to see one of our newer members, John Siddle, present his Associate level panel of work to a meeting of the Royal Photographic Society at Whickham a couple of weeks ago. Well done John Siddle ARPS.
