External Competition Season Starts

By KevinB Competitions, News No Comments

It has been a hectic few weeks getting ready for external competition season. As ever we don’t get far into the season before we have to start pulling together various entries for our external competitions. We have two competitions on the go: The Robert Shaw and High Peak Trophies. The Robert Shaw was first up on Thursday 12th October and hosted by Leek Photographic Society. We had to whittle 120 images down to 12 with a maximum of 3 images per photographer. It was all a bit last minute but we were able to pull together a competitive entry and narrowly missed out to our hosts Leek, a simple matter of 3 points between the top 2 clubs, but congratulations to Leek for their superb entry. .

So well done to all those who submitted images. But ! a special well down to Alex White who, even though the club didn’t win on the night, had the top image across all the clubs’ images. .

End of a Busy Season

By KevinB News, outings No Comments

Whilst we may not have been busy with news items we have though been busy with a full photographic season. Our current season is nearly over with the culmination of our season being our Annual Exhibition which is being hosted by Macclesfield Library in the library’s gallery on the first floor. It’s on for two weeks starting on the 15th May so please come along and enjoy a feast of great images taken by our members.

In the meantime here’s just a taste of the results of one of our member’s trips during the winter to Finland.

The trip was to Kuusamo and run by Kuusamo Nature Photography and lasted for about 10 days including our travels from Manchester. The main reason for the trip, as well as enjoying the stunning Finnish landscape, was to photograph Golden Eagles at the Oulanka Eagle Hides. Over the week we saw over 17 different species of birds but others were still elusive so a return trip is planned. There are also many tales to tell of our adventure but that will have to wait for another time.

With well over 4,000 images taken by each of us here’s just a few of the various birds we saw.
