Barbie Lindsay, EFIAP, MPAGB, FBPE gave members and visitors a very inspiring “Creative Photography” presentation. Several members were pleased to see that a lot of Barbie's work is about creating the photograph in camera and not just 'photoshopping' the image. Barbie also gave us several helpful tips about composition, particularly when using people in the image and we all thoroughly enjoyed the evening.
18th October 2011
Eighteen members submitted panels for our East Ipswich Challenge Competition. The panels of four prints had to have a coherent theme and there were some very good and interesting entries. The members considered and marked the panels with the following results:

2nd "Tribal Dancers" by Roy Barnes
3rd "Grand Staircase at De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill-on-Sea" by Gordon Lyon.
4th October 2011
Our first themed competition of this season was “Harvest”. Sadly, Gill Adams, the judge for the evening was unable to attend. Our Chairman stood in and decided the winners in the Deben section (which he had not entered). In the Orwell and Stour sections, the places were decided by a vote (but we did not vote for our own entries!). This season, we have re-introduced the Stour Shield but with digitally projected images as opposed to 35mm slides as in the past.
The results were:
Deben:
1st: "Spuds" by Jim Davies, 2nd: "Not Ready Yet" by Gordon Lyon, 3rd: "Grow Your Own" by Anne Ward.
Merits: "Hillside Haymaking" by John Welsh and "Colour Co-Ordinated" by Pat Littlewood.
Orwell:
1st: "Yesterday's Harvest" by Harold Ward, 2nd: "A Lone Bale" by Kevin Marrable, 3rd: "All is safely gathered in" by Gordon Lyon.
Merits: "Second Time Around" by Ron Parker.
Stour:
1st: "Nearly Finished" by Granville Foulger, 2nd: "Golden Harvest" by Malcolm Bumstead, 3rd: "After the Harvest" by Kevin Marrable.
Merits: "Ready for the crumble" by Gordon Lyon and "Evening Harvest" by Malcom Bumstead.
Well done to Gordon who managed to get a place in all three sections!
