New book by Wincanton member

Our Secretary, Lachlan Fraser, has produced a photographic journal entitled 'Through a Bright Lens' which is illustrated by recent images taken in Great Britain and further afield. It is available to purchase through the Blurb book store and may be viewed at http://t.co/xF4goUWY.

Lachlan says, "I believe it’s important to look into a scene rather than at it, to absorb it and to capture its essence and feeling, looking for creative and inventive ways to record it, although there is always a place for ‘picture postcard’ shots in any album. This book is a album of recent images taken in the United Kingdom and further afield in the world."

New year, new features: guestbook and blog

Here we are in 2012. Hopefully everybody enjoyed the Christmas festivities and the New Year celebrations, and has resolved to shed the extra pounds gained and, more importantly, to take more photographs; two worthy goals!

To start the year we have two new features for the website. We now have a guestbook where you can leave a comment regarding your visit to the website, and we have also created a blog page to enable comment and conversation about all things photographic. We invite you to make use of them.

Both pages require you to fill in some boxes and to copy check-word characters into another box in order to make a submission.

Guestbook comments may be entered directly. If you wish to start a comment thread on the blog page, either e-mail the details to us or use the New Blog thread to submit a suggestion. The webmaster will then create and open the thread for comments. Please note that there will be a delay before your comments appear on the website.

Search facility

There is now a search facility at the top and bottom of each page to help you find the page you're looking for on the website.

Resizing images for projection

Competition Secretary Roger Lush has written a useful guide to resizing images for projection in club and WCPF competitions. This should help members to achieve consistent results when resizing their images. It's well worth reading and can be seen here.
