We've had a variety of guest speakers over the last month. Firstly, Jim Stevenson took us through his type of Landscape photography. Richard Hunt-Smith's work was very different, he showed some artistic Glasgow street shots, but he also reminded us of the power of documentary photography as he talked about working with the Homeless Project. Different again was Ken Dow, whose images mostly featured close-ups of insects. He gave plenty of advice on how to achieve similar results.
Halloweeen came around, and we had another well attended studio session in the club with models Sana and Rachael.
The forst of our Monthly League competitions was judged on 2nd November by Marty McNaughton. Best Images on the night went to Iain Doig, Mhairi Boustead and Gordon Baird (who won both A section categories).

The first members night of the season was held on 21st September. Stepping up to deliver presentations were Eric, who took us across Canada, Angus, who took us to Norway, and then Lynne gave a talk on macro and insect photography.
Our guest speaker the following Monday was particularly well received. David Moyes showed techniques in producing fine art style architectural images which inspired many of the members.
The first judged competition of the season was for Mono Images on 5th October. Congratulations to Gordon Baird for topping the scores. The 20 and 19 point images are below.

We’re on the summer break now, the first meeting of the new season will be on 7th September. Meantime, we’re running fortnightly Monday evening outings for members to meet up. So far, we’ve had an evening at Pollok Country Park and a trip to Dean Bridge in Edinburgh with a model. There has also been a chess-themed studio night in the clubhouse. We also had a stand at the farm open day at Easter Cadder where we showed off some prints and shot some portraits.
