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.

RHS Photographic Competition closes 1st November

With the closing date for this year's RHS Photographic Competition fast approaching, we're having one last push to remind photographers to get their entries in before Friday 1st November to be in with a chance of winning the coveted title of RHS Photographer of the Year 2013 and the top prize of £1000. The standard of entries for this year is already high, but we're keen to make sure that no budding entrants are left behind, so we very much hope that you will pass this message on to your members.

According to judge and professional garden photographer Clive Nichols,'shooting at dawn in the autumn is the perfect time to take pictures outdoors as flowers and foliage will still be decorated with dew and cobwebs which can make for some striking images.'  Now that we are in the midst of autumn it's the perfect time to get outside and capture some truly spectacular shots.

Full details of the competition including the entry form can be found on this website.
