Photoshop CC and Lightroom 5 special offer from Adobe

Here’s your chance to get Photoshop CC and Lightroom 5 and your own customizable Behance ProSite to host your online portfolio – all for £8.78 per month! Yes, that’s correct, from today until December 2, 2013, you can sign up for this offer – and you do not have to have owned a previous version of Photoshop to qualify. You will need to commit to a one-year plan.
 If you would like Photoshop and have not upgraded in recent years then this seems to be a good deal.  If the price stays the same then it would be 6 years before you will have spent the same amount as buying CS6 from Amazon (£616 currently). 
 See the website for more information.

NCPF Spectacular 2014

USA Landscape Photographer of the Year.

Charlie Waite has launched a new international photography competition called USA Landscape Photographer of the Year.

It is designed to give the opportunity for photographers from all over the world to have their talent recognised and rewarded with their images of the rural or urban landscape of the USA.

This is your chance to have your images seen by some of the most respected names in landscape photography today, to win some amazing cash and in kind prizes and be exhibited as part of the Winners' Exhibition that will tour the USA and Europe, not to mention the chance to be named USA Landscape Photographer of the Year 2014!

If you have visited the USA within the last 5 years, or plan to before the 16th February 2014 (when entries close), do consider entering a portfolio of 3 images for a chance to win the overall title award, or a single fabulous image to win one of the category awards - Classic view, Black & White, Landscape on the move (compact camera), Urban and My USA (anything goes!)

Just look at some of the judges we have lined up - Art Wolfe, David Muench, Christopher Burkett, Jim Patterson, Tim Fitzharris, Marc Muench, Marc Adamus, Antony Spencer, Justin Reznick and Charlie Waite!

So get reviewing your images from your last trip to the USA, or consider visiting before 16th February and enter USA Landscape Photographer of the Year for your chance to win!

Exhibition at the Palace Hub Gallery, Redcar

This exhibition closes on 24th November. The gallery looks worth a visit. I notice that they offer 15% off their printing and scanning services to local camera club members on production of evidence that they are a member of a club (e.g. Programmer Booklet). See their website.
