THORNE CAMERA CLUB

Congratulations to two of our members for their outstanding photography. Jacki Greenwood and Colin Jarvis entered the Yorkshire Photographic Union

'124th Annual Assembly & Exhibition 2023' and out of 3797 entries, Jacki won the 'Rose Bowl' in the DPI section for portraiture with 'Puppy' and Colin's entry 'Yorkshire Shepherdess' was accepted for the Exhibition tour. This is an excellent achievement for Jacki and Colin and will hopefully inspire other members of the club to enter their images into external competitions and salons as a means of widening their photography experience. The summer Outing photo-shoots continued with an evening trip to Hull offering architectural, historical and maritime photography. The members who attended enjoyed an excellent evening of photography around the city of Hull that provided very good selection of images. Everyone arrived in good time for our anniversary trip to Spurn Point for a day's photo-shoot. Apart from a traffic problem on the journey there, a good time was had by all. There is a varied selection of wild life at Spurn Point together with a range of historic WW1 buildings and lighthouses to photograph providing good inspiration for compositional ideas. Members were delighted to see seals on the beach and a wide selection of birds to photograph .

After a full day of photography the members met at the cafe for a chat before leaving on the return journey.

The private evening visit to the Sandtoft Trolley Museum provided some excellent opportunities for photographing the museum's trolley buses, Toy and Cycle Museum, Cinema and an original furnished pre-fab home. Members completed the visit with rides on the buses and a visit to the cafe.

Monty's Monthly Tip

The best way to improve in the art of photography is to practice every day. If possible, carry a camera with you, whether it is a DSLR or a Smartphone, take photographs of your surroundings and this will help to develop your photographic eye, improve your skills of composition and framing, appreciate the light that is available and increase your knowledge of your camera and settings and giving you an appreciation of the everyday items and scenes you see in every day.
