Wild Birds in Flight
This was the expressive title of Alan Saunders’ talk on 24 March. So members were intrigued to see that his first projected image was that of a Badger, without wings! Alan hastened to assure us that he had widened his presentation somewhat since having to think of a suitable title a year ago. But indeed he presented us with a feast of birds flying, swimming, and in a variety of poses. Amongst the 300 plus images were Blackbirds, Blue-Tits, Bramlings, Chaffinches, Curlews, Ducks, Dunnocks Doves, Fulmars, Flamingos, Gannetts, Geese, Guillimots, Goldfinches, Gulls, Herons, Kingfishers, Lapwings, Magpies, Mallards, Moorhens, Nuthatches, Ospreys, Owls, Pied Wagtails, Pheasants, Pigeons, Pintails, Razorbills, Robins, Ruffs, Rooks, Red Kites, Ringed Plovers, Swallows, Sea Eagles, Stone Chats, Sedge Warblers, Swans Sandpipers, and Woodpeckers,
To end the first half of the talk Alan gave a Pictures-to-Exe presentation of giant mechanical birds; a range of aircraft. To conclude the evening Alan gave a P2E of Grey Seals of Donna Nook; both P2E’s with musical accompaniment, Alan thanked Martin Currie for assistance in producing his two P2E’s. Amazingly Alan has only been a keen photographer for about five years, and has been a club member for three years. But in this time has done well in International Photographic Salons and he was pleased to get a FIAP Gold medal award for the best set of 4 prints in the 29th Northern Counties International Salon of Photography in 2008. More information can be gleaned from his Web site. Members were interested to know how the images were captured and what camera and lens was used. Alan had recently acquired a Canon 1DsMkII. Advice was that it locked onto the birds in flight better than the 1DMkIII. His previous camera had been the Canon 20D, but with this Camera he had missed more shots than he had taken. He needed to use high ISO values to allow the faster shutter speeds needed to get sharp pictures, but this often produced noisy backgrounds, which he had to deal with in PhotoShop
In his vote of thanks Phil Riley expressed admiration for Alan’s images and the dedication they involved. We had seen, in two hours the results of many months of early mornings, sitting, cold, waiting for the birds to appear. We had seen a very professional presentation.

Sheffield Interclub Competition Friday 20th March
Seven members [Roger Dye, Tony and Dorothy Redford, Gordon and Joyce Robson, Hugh and myself] undertook the hour long journey to Sheffield. Weather wise it was a glorious day, so Hugh and I had a long walk around Curber Edge, taking photos of course. Sheffield P.S had a larger hall than last year to accommodate those who had made the journey from the various clubs (22 in total - 6 more than last year). Being essentially a Yorkshire competition it was extended somewhat to include NCPS, Bramhall and Chapel en le Frith - it also included South Yorkshire Police PS. We had not entered this competition before so did not know what standard the other clubs were at; I have to say they were very good.
Each club entered 5 digital images making a total of 110 images for the judge, Ray Brammall, to look through and comment on. 37 were knocked out in the first round - 2 of which were North Cheshire's, and so it continued until in the 6th round he choose the winner. There were some excellent images and in cases like this it's very difficult for the judge to do them all justice (I must say we didn't always agree with his choice) and he didn't really like manipulated images. NCPS came 12th out of the 22 clubs with 10 points (Bramhall got 11 points). We were disappointed but put it down to the preferences of this particular judge (of course!!)
Next competition is at Romiley Photo and Digital Imaging Club at their PHOTOSHOW 2009 23 - 25 April.

Pictures on Permajet - Tuesday 17th March 09
By Irene Froy, FRPS, EFIAP, MPAGB , HonPAGB, BPE4*
Irene described herself as a pictorial photographer, with a leaning towards landscape, but with an interest in all types of photography. She lectures throughout the country and enjoys exhibiting in, and judging, National and International Exhibitions. She is sponsored by Permajet and not surprisingly prints exclusively on the range of art papers they provide. A photographer since her school-days, she has always supported her local photographic club, be it in Dundee, East Anglia (where she was President of the East Anglia Federation), or Telford where she and husband Gerry now live.
Irene began with prints recorded in the Tulip fields of Holland and raised the first question a photographer faces. Do you record the overall scene (with a wide angle lens) or zoom in on an individual flower. Not surprisingly she did both. We learnt that they only allow the tulips four days of growth before they are decapitated to preserve the goodness in the bulbs. We were interested to see the same fields before the flowering, at full flowering, and again following the decapitation! And the use of the rain on the windscreen as a blur filter on such scenes was an eye-opener to many of us.
As she went through her images it was clear that artistic expression was uppermost in Irene’s mind as she produced an image. The single Tulip shown had been through several processes to produce the emotional appeal she wished from the flower. Motion blur and the use of Layer masks were prominent tools employed by Irene to get the final result.
Looking out onto the North Sea they saw a sailing boat race in progress, and Irene showed several prints of images taken then. A slightly blurred impressionistic yacht on a sea of blue captured the audience’s imagination, as did a later textured shot of a wall with steps.
Irene expressed a fondness for blues, and shadows, and simple shapes. She believed in the mantra “Keep it Simple”, but was not averse to digital manipulation to produce the desired effect. If necessary she would import a bottom half to complement a different top half.
Irene kept her audience enthralled throughout her talk.
In his Vote of Thanks Brian Bower noted that it was the easiest he had ever had to give. He nowadays appreciated her restriction that the image should be within 100 metres of the car. It had been a very special lecture which had given us lots of ideas to try. And it had all been done with the assistance of a husband, but without the help of a Leica camera!

3rd Projected Image Competition 10 Mar 09
Tillman Kleinhans, from St Helens CC, was the popular judge on this occasion. President Roger Dye introduced him as a photographer for the past 40 years, a member of his local club for 30 years, and a judge for the past 20 years. And he still found time to be a school teacher. Tillman is enthusiastic about photography and this emerged in his encouraging remarks about most of the images on show. Good images were now the norm and he set a benchmark of 15 for such images.
Slides were shown first. There were 10 altogether which were eventually whittled down to just three images. Though this was nail-biting to most of the audience, our projectionist Phil Riley, remained unconcerned - they were all his images!
In the Beginner/Intermediate section, Tillman commented on the great variety in the 18 images, but eventually homed in on two images - a Pink Cadillac by Katie Garner and Sheep at Kinder Garden by Trevor Rogers. He was finally persuaded by a stern sheep leader to choose the sheep.
There were 81 images in the Advanced digitally projected section. Tillman commented on how good the Club’s Digital projector was in maintaining the colours of the images. He had come across many worse in his judging, sometimes being driven to consider the images on the computer screen for fairness. There were a plethora of excellent images making his job very difficult. His varied comments were that some images needed a point of focus of interest; in some the colours seemed too artificial to ring true; some were a little over-exposed; and with some he found difficulty in what the image was expressing, that they didn’t appear to tell any story. Several images stood out, but he eventually picked a Wild Red Kite as his best in section.
On being asked to choose between the best Slide and the best Digital image Tillman confessed that this was very difficult. The Rock & Tree image was the type he would hope to be able to capture - it was his kind of image. The Red Kite was quite different - He was not sure how he would set about capturing such an image. It was this fact that made him choose the Red Kite as the overall winner.
In his Vote of Thanks Tony Redford stated that he could listen to Tillman’s comments all night; they were both entertaining and educational. He was impressed that after a hard day’s work in the class-room Tillman could still give us such a scintillating performance. And he had finished exactly on 10.00pm. The audience clapped enthusiastically in agreement.

Additional report
Two very proud grandparents attended the opening of the Southport's Annual Open Exhibition on Saturday 7th March. They were there to witness granddaughter Katie collecting two awards for her entry of prints in the Junior Section of this prestigious competition. Katie collected a certificate for a picture of her "Family on Cat Bells" and a trophy (plus £20!) as Second Prize for "Great-Grandma" - quite an achievement for a nine-year old in only her second attempt at competitive photography.
Where does this talent originate? That is the hotly debated question between those grandparents, Tony and Dorothy Redford.
Dorothy had two entries accepted in the senior competition. [See above]. Tony submitted none as he considered his recent work fell short of the required standard. Says it all!

Committee Meeting Wed 4 March 2009
The Annual Exhibition had gone well and had made a small profit despite the lack of sponsors. The Raffle had produced £293 and was a vital part of our income. It was suggested that next year we should limit ourselves to 6 Prints and 6 Projected images (Slides or Digital) per member. The Inter-club competition nights were star features of the exhibition and enhanced our standing in the L&CPU. Tony had written to thank all clubs who took part. Jill Hargreaves has booked the Library exhibition space for the Start of Session Aug 24 to Sept 12 and the Start of the Exhibition Jan 25 to Feb 13 2010. The Exhibition dates next year are Wed 10 Feb to Fri 12 Feb 2010.
Joyce Streets was concerned that the same (best few) members provided images for interclub competitions. To widen the pool she suggested we should have some interclub competitions with say 20 images from 20 different members. This is now in hand.
The Keswick Weekend would be on Fri 6 and Sat 7 November. The judge had already been chosen. Tony Rosevere was standing down as Membership Sec at the AGM.
Barry led a discussion on Computing and the Web site. To allow people to communicate with us without broadcasting an email address he was looking into “email by forms” It was agreed that we could broadcast our Secretary’s telephone number since it was already in the L&CPU literature. Barry was also testing the speed with which the Web Site was downloaded. Agreed that we should include a presentation on using the WEB site in a future meeting. The next committee meeting was set for April 29th.

Battle with Chapel CC 25 February 2009
A dozen or so NCPS members received a warm welcome from the Chapel members on their visit to Hayfield on 25th February for our regular inter-club competition. Judge Jack Byatt from Romiley Club was less impressed with manipulated prints than with “straight” well captured images; he especially did not like infra red pictures! But he gave fair and useful comments on the images. It was a well fought and fairly even battle and NCPS were pleased to have emerged the overall victors.
Prints totals: Chapel 175; NCPS 179
Slides totals: Chapel 170; NCPS 175

Another date for your diary - Keswick weekend
We return to Keswick in November for the annual “Anglo-Scottish Battle” which will take place at Portinscale Village Hall at 4.00pm on Saturday, 7th November 2009.
Our rooms at the Derwentwater Hotel have been reserved for Friday and Saturday at last year’s rate of £55.00 per person per night for Dinner, Bed and Breakfast.
A list will be made available on club nights for members to add their names and room requirements (double, twin, single) and a deposit will be required, as usual, before the end of our season (mid May).
We are again assured of a warm welcome by the staff at the Derwentwater and promised the usual good choices and high standard of food during our stay.
Our regulars will be familiar with the routine which has been a success in recent years but we hope that some of our newer members will be able to join in this year, so for their benefit:
- Arrive Derwentwater Hotel on Friday afternoon or evening. Book in and arrange a convenient time for your evening meal.
- After breakfast on Saturday, join the organised walk or go your own way.
Descend upon the Portinscale village hall for the print battle which commences at 4.00pm prompt. After the judging there is time to have a close look at all the prints which will be laid out around the room and enjoy refreshments with friends.
Return to the Derwentwater in good time for the group dinner commencing 7.15pm - After breakfast on Sunday make your own arrangements to get the best from your trip to the spectacularly beautiful Lake District.
The print competition gives us an opportunity to see the best images from the top Scottish clubs, Dumfries and Carluke, as well as the best from the North East clubs and, of course, those from West Cumbrian clubs - and our own neighbours, South Manchester C.C.
The battle provides a great focal point for the weekend, but the accent is on the social element and the opportunity for photography in this most picturesque corner of the land.
Make a note of the dates in your diary and watch out for future announcements.

L&CPU AGM 28 February 2009
The AGM started promptly at 2.30pm with Bill Chadband representing NCPS. After welcoming the delegates President Norman Thompson called upon the Officers to give their reports. Gordon Jenkins spoke first as Treasurer then as PAGB Executive Member. He would not be recommending a subs increase next year since the L&CPU finances were in a sound position. We would be selling the old 20x16 inch frames and purchasing new 40x50 cm frames to fit in with the PAGB requirements. [He was open to offers for the old frames]. John Royle would be the new WebMaster. For Projected Digital image competitions L&CPU would be sticking to the 1400x1050 pixel format though they were aware that many clubs had a 1024x768 system.
Having negotiated with the Insurers it was no longer necessary to send in the club syllabus to conform with insurance requirements, but it was necessary to keep on file (in archives) for (he suggested) 5 years, all club activities to avoid potential conflicts should an insurance claim be made. Gordon Jenkins noted that the PAGB subscription from L&CPU was likely to rise by £1 next session.
John Smith queried if members still wanted Focal Points as a newsletter, since he had not received, over the past year, any articles for publication. Another magazine he co-edits is always over-subscribed with articles. Someone noted that it was all on the WEB. Norman Piper noted that magazine articles could be different in kind to WEB articles, and we needed both.
A long discussion ensued as to whether we should refer to AN independent examiner, or THE independent examiner, of the books. The argument was mostly lost to those of us who sat at the back.

The Exhibition Judge Returns
- Annual Exhibition 11-13 February 2009
- Members' work at the 2009 Exhibition - lists and awards
- Awards & trophies for members' work in exhibitions
- Galleries of members' images in Exhibitions
On Tuesday 24th February Judge John Smith arrived, with his wife, in a nick of time to present the Annual Exhibition Trophies to the winners, and to talk about some of the images presented. These awards are listed below:
| Trophy or Certificate | For | Awarded to |
|---|---|---|
| Certificate | Best Beginner Print | Kate Garner |
| Joan Allen Cup | Best Pictorial Slide | Gordon Robson |
| Charles Bowker Trophy | Best Pictorial Print | Geoff Robison |
| Stanley Cooper Trophy | Best Portrait Slide | Martin Currie |
| Joyce Whitehead Cup | Best Portrait Print | Geoff Robinson |
| 80’s Cup | Best Photojournalism Slide | Phil Riley |
| The Fallows Cup | Best Photojournalism Print | Barry Pearson |
| The "21" Trophy | Best Record Slide | Gordon Robson |
| The President's Trophy | Best Record Print | Barry Pearson |
| Natural History Cup | Best Natural History Slide | Martin Currie |
| The Nature Cup | Best Natural History Print | Alan Saunders |
| Certificate | Best Colour Print | Barry Pearson |
| Bernard Sellars Trophy | Best MonoChrome Print | Martin Currie |
| Cedric Hepple Trophy | Best Slide in Exhibition | Geoff Robinson |
| Founding Committee Cup | Best Print in Exhibition | Geoff Robinson |
| Prism Trophy | Best Perfomance in Exhibition | Geoff Robinson |
The Slides were presented first and John made his comments on most of them. After the tea break Members present were invited to select two of their Prints for John to comment on. He noted that he had come without his marks sheet so that what he said would be off the cuff, and hopefully reflect his earlier marking scheme. His judging had taken place over several evenings, when prints moved around a bit over his three piles C, HC, and VHC. He had found the Nature section to be especially strong, but had also discovered several excellent images of the same or similar subject competing. So his general rule to authors had to be “don’t put in images which compete with one another”.
In his vote of thanks Bill Chadband noted that he and John shared several characteristics. They were both handsome, likeable, people and both had difficulty in getting members to provide articles for the magazines they edited (in John’s case the L&CPU Focal Points newsletter). Thanks were due to John for the time and effort he had spent in judging the Exhibition entries. We thanked him for attending, with his wife, our Sunday lunch following the exhibition, making it a more special occasion; and we thanked him for turning up tonight to discuss with the authors their images. John had finished exactly at 10pm allowing time for a drink in the local Pub.

To Blog or not to Blog
Despite the editor's attempts to get a discussion going on Blogs, only one anonymous reply was received. This little ditty arrived recently by carrier pigeon:
To trog through the BLOG is a tedious slog
To find stuff which once used to be "News".
The "BLOG" word needs flogging - a bloody good clogging -
Agreed? - then send Barry your views.When it's shoved down our throat; well it just gets my goat
to see BLOG spread all over our site.
If you want to stop BLOGGING you'd better start logging
your views - time to stand up and fight!A website that's clever should ask itself whether
our members want BLOG to appear.
If the answer is "No" then the BLOG word should go,
but that will not happen I fear.The site's much to commend it but who'd recommend it
with BLOG crap all over its pages?
Objective defeated if usage depleted
And that's what could happen - in stages.
The ditty is pertinent in that it follows the general discussion at our last committee meeting over whether we should adopt Computer-speak instead of Photo-speak when developing the WEB site.
On the one hand was the argument that, as more and more people use the WEB and are familiar with the concept of the BLOG (the Web Log), the heading Blog encapsulates all that is included under that heading.
On the other hand was the argument that BLOG is a nebulous word which needs defining each time it is used, and in our case it refers to recent news and recent opinion; so that the heading RECENT NEWS more realistically tells people what is covered.
On the one hand is the argument that the WEB layout should keep up with Computer fashion and that the BLOG concept is all the rage; On the other hand many of our readers are not particularly computer literate and go to the WEB to get information, particularly the latest information, and that the use of plain English best serves this purpose.
Everyone agrees that the WEB site is a valuable club asset, that we should encourage its use, and make it as transparent as possible to the greatest number of people. So basically we need feedback from the various users as to what works best for them and what terminology is most appropriate to their needs.
