Exhibition

[Eileen]

It was lovely to catch up with everyone today and great to meet Rose (Mrs Irv) too. 

I thought the exhibition was excellent. There's a huge range of images, many of which are very high quality indeed. I think we spent a couple of hours there and I for one don't feel that I saw everything. It was good also to see a number of images from previous years - early Kodachome and black and white images produced by former club presidents. Really added to the mix and contrasted nicely with some of the more recent digital images.

Keith: if you're still thinking of popping along I would highly recommend it.

The exhibition was great it was a same you could not make it Andrew. I enjoyed meeting everyone and having a lovely chat just hope I did not slow anyone down too much.

I echo Eileen's comments of what a good display, of a range of subjects, well produced that was well worth a visit and has certainly  nudged me into checking out my local club. Rose was pleased to meet you all and was quite taken with Martins hat

Glad to hear all had a great time - not that i really expected any thing different. All meets thus far have brought about a great time.
I have absolutely no doubt that Sandy did not slow any one down. Accommodating Sandy's sower walking pace often allows us to see a picture we would otherwise have missed 
Just sorry i couldn't make it.
Now about to take the little dear on a train to Portsmouth - so another long day ahead

Thanks for visiting and glad that you all enjoyed it. I know I keep wittering on about learning phototgraphy via a club, and I hope the exhibition gave you an insight into what I mean.

Sorry about the weather, but soon after I got home the clouds cleared and we had a sunny remainder of the day.

So I FINALLY made it along yesterday.....great exhibition some outstanding work, Alan it was nice to see work by Bryan Collins and Ann Smith on display (both are members of KCC as well) Some outstanding work on display and nice to see your panel with shots from our Speakers Corner shoot. A great exhibition Alan I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I parked at Ham, walked over the bridge at Teddington Lock...and spent a couple of hours there, then back over to the lock for a few shots.....good day weather was FANTASTIC and the mountain bikers near the lock were something else. Oh and for those that might be interested the Landmark Arts Centre was the Church that the band AHA shot the video for "The Sun Always Shines On TV" in...

Now another SHAMELESS PLUG for Kingston Camera Club's forthcoming exhibition. Sat 24th April thru to 8th May at Kingston Museum, Wheatfield Way, Kingston upon Thames, Surrey KT1 more info at www.kingstoncameraclub.co.uk

And for those umming and ahing about joining a club do it....it's a great way to get together with like-minded people...KCC has just had a young man join think he's still at school he put a print into the last comp of the season and got a 10 out of 10 for it from the judge, if he can do it anyone can, as Abers says join one it's a great experience

Glad you enjoyed it Keith and thanks for visiting. I will be at the KCC exhibition on one day or another, got to find out when my wife's doing her shopping!

Is that the one at the top just past the church on the right Alan? Opposite the stationary shop i think?
May find myself over at Guildford around that time so could manage to squeeze a visit in...

[nickt]

Managed to get to the exhibition myself yesterday. Quite an eclectic mix of images. Spurred me on to think about joining a club and maybe even have a go at the LRPS!

[krennon]

Nick do it just join a club, most clubs will let you go along for a couple of weeks or so before committing to joining, I've got about 4 clubs within a 7 mile radius or so of me, I chose Kingston as it was kind of the closest and I was made to feel very welcome, and I have learnt a lot from being there.
Dunno whereabouts in the country you are but I would recommend joining a club and then try for the LRPS (which is what I am planning on doing probably next year now as funds are tight at the moment)

[nickt]

I'm based in central london. I plan to join the RPS and then take things from there. I'll have to improve my image taking I think before applying for the LRPS!

It sounds great, however I have already booked Sat. Iam going to London Zoo to see the new rain forest section.

Popped in today to see the Kingston exhibition and very enjoyable it was to. Young Keith doing his stewarding duties and welcoming a steady flow of visitors. Thanks for the welcome Keith. Liked your image of stones and sand, nice colours and composition as well as being very gritty.
