The website of the Northern Counties Photographic Federation has been completely redesigned. Durham Photographic Society is, of course, a member club. A panorama picture of Durham Cathedral by John Attle has been chosen to represent the Wear Area on the home page.
The site has been very well designed and contains a great deal of interest to club members, for instance on competitions and the Northern Counties International Salon, and more. Among many features is one called Knowledge Base which will build over time and at the moment contains the following:
Photographic Organisations
To both new and to many established members the plethora of acronyms often referred to by more experienced members is a mystery. This file attempts to dispel those mysteries.
Distinctions
Information about the various photographic distinctions available from the major national and international organisations and also provides useful links for more detailed information.
Technical Standards for PDI Competitions
Information from the PAGB about the standards they have adopted in their competitions and which might be of assistance to you or your club in organising its own competitions.
Plagiarism
An interesting article, reproduced by kind permission of its author, Christine Widdall AFIAP, DPAGB, BPE3* on a subject that has caused discussion for some time now.
FIAP and PSA Definitions
These are the definitions that these two organisations apply to Exhibitions and Salons that they sponsor. They cover Monochrome, Nature, Photo-Travel and Photo-Journalism.
