28 the advertizer t: 01505 613340 e: info@advertizer.co.uk Langbank Camera Club This months print competition topic was “Scottish Architecture”. First place was awarded to James Goodall for his image of Anchor Mill, Paisley. The mill is the last of it’s kind still standing, having lain empty for many years before being reinvented as business units and apartments. Second place was awarded to Derrick McPherson for his image of Benmore House in the grounds of Benmore Botanic Gardens, north west of Dunoon. Third place was awarded to John Davies for his image of “Govan Town Hall”, Glasgow which was built between 1890-1901. Like so many older buildings it also has a new identity and is currently the Glasgow Film City. Our featured lecture was HDR photography, presented by Gary Ramanathan. The presentation provided an insight into the techniques, dos and don’ts, which help to achieve the most from this photographic technique. It is one of those processes where the final output is very subjective. The trick is to strike the right balance for the target audience. The Projected Digital Image (PDI) evening held at the end of last month was well supported and showcased images which had to include a stain glass window. As usual we had a variety of styles and images. Projecting them on the large screen gave us the advantage of seeing the beauty and details not normally seen in a print. It also allowed members to discuss one another’s impression of the images, how it was taken and how much post processing had been done to the image etc. The May print meeting will be held as usual on the second Monday of the month, 9th May at 7:30pm. At this meeting we will be featuring a lecture on “A beginners guide to Layers” - demystifying this digital photo editing process. The print competition topic for May is “Travel Photography” - let your photo tell a story. The club will be going into the summer break after the May PDI meeting, Monday 30th May at 7:30pm. Keep reading the Advertizer though, as we will be updating you with information regarding our 2016/17 session, commencing September, plus displaying some of the images from our PDI evenings. Club meetings are held in Langbank Church Halls, Langbank. Visitors are always welcome at any of our evenings. Club membership is only £10 for the first year.

Paisley Colour’s 3rd Bimonthly Competition Results Paisley Colour Photographic Club were very pleased to welcome very accomplished photographer Clive Watkins from Troon to judge the third of the session’s three bimonthly competitions held recently at the McMaster Centre in Renfrew. In this competition members could submit up to three digital images each and Clive gave very careful consideration to each of the sixty images in the sections: Introductory, Intermediate and Advanced. Mike’s judging was really a tutorial in photography. His knowledge in so many areas of photography is considerable and he shared so much of this with the club that evening as he meticulously judged each image. He gave encouragement discussing the strengths of each image in turn and also gave helpful suggestions as to how an image could be improved for example by converting an image to monochrome instead of colour may make an image stronger or by ensuring that in an image there is a main point of interest for viewer’s eye to rest on. As usual there was a wide range of images submitted and Clive emphasised the difficulty he had in finalising the ranking of the top images in each section. In the Introductory section third place was awarded to Ken McArthur for his image “A Run in the Long Grass”. “Pig Poser” by Kathy Giddings was placed in second position. The top image in the Introductory section was by Ken McArthur for his image “The Makers Mark”. The award for the Best Intermediate Image was made to Linda Rodger for her colourful, minimalist image “Freshly Painted”. In the Advanced section Clive awarded third place to Guy Phillips for his dramatic motorcycle image “Closer than you Might Wish”. Clive admitted that he had great difficulty choosing a winner between the top two images. Robert Fulton’s beautiful winter landscape “Olstind at Sunrise” was placed second whilst Clive chose Mike Cruise’s stunning natural history capture “Osprey with Catch” as the top image and winner of the 3rd bimonthly competition.
