If the winners could send me a copy of their
image(s) for the website, maximum 500 pixels per side, I would much
appreciate it.
New Featured Foto
Just to prove that someone in the club has a camera and is prepared to
take it out in the snow, here is a shot of Nick trying to get a snowman to
pose for him :o) It looks like he is using a wide angle lens for a
portrait shot as well - tut tut!Les's POTW
Les has had one of his images selected as Picture of the Week by Calumet
Photographic Suppliers. You can see it
here. Well done, Les.
Brian does The Hepworth
Brian has been documenting the building of The Hepworth (Wakefield's new
international art gallery) for some time now. He has sent some of his
images as a refresh for his gallery page. If you want to see what it
looks like inside (even the toilets) then take look at
Brian's page.
Update. Brian
has upload an A/V of his images to YouTube which you can see
here.
Police versus Photography
Here is an interesting account of a journalist having
a showdown with the police over
photographing the 'Gerkin' in London, complete with video.
Un-mounted A4
Congratulations to the winners - 1st Brian Holding, 2nd Trevor Bottomley
and 3rd Paul Coultrup.

It's another one from John Boyd, this time one that almost made it to
the medals in the 5th Clubman. Nice foreground, John.
5th Clubman Results
Les slips a bit and platinum paper gets its first outing! See the
winning images
here.
If the winners could send me a copy of their

Settle Trophy
An excellent result for us! We managed to get the highest number of
points in both the print and the digital categories so romped home to a
comfortable win. Not a bad feat against such stiff competition.
DSLR User magazine
Nick is the latest to get the name of the club splashed all over Digital SLR
User magazine. His piece about his favourite lens is in this months
issue.
Trevor.com
Trevor has recently created himself a web site so go
here
and have a look. He said it was a piece of cake so if you fancy one,
ask him how he did it.
David Noton
Les has highlighted the fact that
David Noton, a top UK photographer, is
bringing his roadshow, 'Chasing the Light', to Sheffield next February.
See his website
for details but I know that several members already have tickets so you may
want to book quickly.
Three Clubs at Pudsey
This brand new competition was won by the home side, Pudsey, with 337
points. We managed second with 321 points and Halifax came in third
with 316.
Location, location, location - part 1
I have fixed the problem with last years talk and a PDF of the full thing is
now available on the 'Information' page. I will add this years to it
when I can.
New Gallery page
John Boyd is the latest to send me some images for a brand new
gallery page.
Thanks, John. His photo of Desert Orchid just edged out 'Staithes' as
my favourite (must be the trip to Pontefract races) so was picked as
Featured Foto.
Sunday Times
Anyone who managed to make it through to yesterdays Sunday Times magazine
may have seen a selection of the winning images from the AA Sunday Times
Landscape Photographer of the Year competition. If you did you would
have seen an image called 'The Climber on Curber Edge' by a certain Les
Forrester! But that's not all. The image received a 'Highly
Commended' from the judges, it will be included in the book due out soon and
can be seem at an exhibition at the National Theatre starting in early
December and lasting for two months. If you are not sure which one it
is, I have added it to the top of his
gallery page.
Well done once again, Les.
Treasure Hunt
I have now uploaded the twelve winning images and they can be seen
here.
Schools Competition
In preparation for presentations for the Schools Competition next week I
have created a page with all the submitted images
here.
Thank you to all those who took part and congratulation to the winners,
especially Jack Hayes who had three winners.
Treasure Hunt
Congratulations to Team Adams (Shereen, Christine, Trevor and myself) on
their (narrow) victory in this fun and enthralling competition.
Everyone who took part seems to have enjoyed it and I think we all ended up
better photographers. Many thanks to Nick & Debbie for organising it.
If anyone has any ideas on how to repeat it without placing such a burden on
the organisers then please let one of us hear them.
