| It
has been one just event after another for Members of
the Ivybridge & District Camera Club recently, and
there is more to come as well, with a month-long exhibition
for all of March.
A busy practical
evening at the beginning of February with David Rayner
discussing colour temperature and white balance controls
was followed on the 12th by a members’ travelogue
evening, which gave glimpses of Malta, Spain, Mount
Washington, France, Mallorca and a ‘return visit’
to Ivybridge! Many thanks to Tony Clements, John Trussell,
Keith Mullin, Keith Mason, Sue Bishop and David Rayner
for a very enjoyable evening all round.
On the 17th March
Ivybridge & District Camera Club competed against
43 other camera clubs in a day-long digitally projected
image competition held at Exeter. The Ivybridge fared
reasonably well gaining 227 points, with the winners,
Newton Abbott coming top with 267 points. Ivybridge
member, Geoff Brimblecombe was the club’s highest
point scorer with ‘Round the Bend’, a really
gritty image of three motorbike riders kicking up the
track dust.
The club is holding
its annual month-long exhibition of photographs in March.
The event is free to enter and this year will feature
over 60 mounted images. Many of the photographs were
taken for club or inter-club competitions, but others
are images where the photographer wished to express
a mood or idea. The exhibition runs throughout March,
Monday to Friday 10:00 am to 4:30 pm and Saturdays 10:00
am to midday at the Corridor Gallery in the South Brent
Old School Centre, Totnes Road, South Brent.
The next practical
evening will be on the 4th March followed on 11th March
by guest lecturers Geoff and Jean Ashworth with a presentation
entitled ‘More Photoshopping’. Visitors
are always welcome and we meet at Bittaford Community
Hall from 7:30pm normally on the second and fourth Tuesdays
in the month. Our programme, members’ photographs
and much more are all available elsewhere on this website.
