Farne Islands Trip
A few people have asked about a repeat Farne Islands trip this year, so I am suggesting the date of Thursday 29th May. We would take the 'All day bird watch' trip by Billy Shiels - the boat leaves Seahouses around 10, so we need quite an early start from Teesside. It visits both Inner Farne and Staple Island, returning about 4.00.
The cost would be £35 per person, plus £6.80 landing fee on each island - unless you are a National Trust member, when the landing is free.
We would share cars / petrol money to get there. If you are interested, and didn't put your name down on the list at the AGM, please let me know by email as soon as possible so I can get an idea of numbers.

Upcoming Events at Rheged
Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition – until 18 May
Organised in partnership with the BBC Wildlife Magazine and the Natural History Museum London, The Wildlife Photographer of the Year is the most well-renowned and longest running wildlife photography competition in the world. Each year tens of thousands of professional and amateur photographers submit their work to the competition. The best 100 are picked by a panel of judges made up of the best photographers in the business. The exhibition is split into 18 categories, including awards for children and young people, the environment and animal portraits.
The exhibition is running now until Sunday 18th May and is located in the gallery on the top floor, and it’s open every day from 10.30am-4.30pm, admission to the exhibition is £2.00, and kids under 8 go Free .
Weekend Mountain Photography Exhibition – 10-11 May
In conjunction with the UK premiere of Terry Abraham's film “Life of a Mountain - Scafell Pike” on Saturday 10th May, Rheged has teamed up with Tim Parkin from On Landscape to host a weekend exhibition on 10-11 May 2014 celebrating the variety and beauty of Mountain Photography. The exhibition will show work from some of the region's leading Landscape Photographers such as Joe Cornish, Terry Abraham, Roy Fleming, Colin Bell and Tony Simpkins alongside lectures and workshops from Angie and David Unsworth and Mark Littlejohn. Admission is free. Mountain Photography Lecture - 10 May
Additionally we have an excellent photography lecture coming up on the same weekend - Angie and David Unsworth are traditional film photographers working in the English Lake District. They make contemporary photographs with 10x8 and 5x4 large format field cameras from their Grasmere studio. Their lecture, which is more akin to a photographic story, expands on the theme of Terry Abraham's ‘Life of a Mountain, Scafell Pike,’ responding to the mountain as a landscape of personal pilgrimage. Booking is essential.
Sat 10 May • 4pm • Lecture £8 • Free entry to the Mountain Photography Exhibition • Please call Rheged on 01768 868000 to book tickets or email us on enquiries@rheged.com

The Dark Skies of the North Pennines - A Photographer's Delight
Graham Relf FRAS is a member of Tynemouth Photographic Society.
"Over the past few years I have been amazed by what I can photograph in a clear night sky with my Canon camera and very little additional equipment (away from light polluted areas). So much so that I have written a book about it. I am keen to encourage others to have a go and to experience similar amazement. Today's digital cameras enable amateurs to do things which required professional equipment only a few years ago.
The book contains more than 50 of my own images, mostly in colour, with a gentle introduction to the astronomy behind each one. The last part of the book goes into techniques for photographers but it aims to be less technical than most books on astrophotography. I have self-published the book through York Publishing Services (YPS) in order to keep the selling price as low as possible."
More details of Graham's book can be found at this link.
