Bradford Photographic Society

This week, the BPS will be trying out Still Life Photography again. They will be arranging, lighting and photographing a variety of inanimate objects in weird and wonderful ways—hopefully.

So, if you want to try your hand at capturing still objects at their best, bring some suitable objects, a variety of backgrounds/surfaces, and maybe something to light them with. Oh, and don't forget your camera!

Saturday 13th February saw members of the Society meeting up at Kirkstall Abbey, on a day, it would have to be said, that was not the most conducive to photography, for the first trip out of the year.

Braving near sub-zero temperatures (or at least that's how it felt!) and, on occasion, the odd spot of rain, an enjoyable couple of hours were spent in and around the Abbey, taking in the architecture and making the most of many photographic opportunities.

There is a collection of images from the trip to be found in the Gallery, so take your time to peruse the shots, and if you'd like to be there next time, then come along.  All are welcome! 

Professional photographer and photography circuit lecturer Barry Payling will be visiting us on Thursday 11th February. He'll not only be giving us a talk on his landscape photography, but anecdotes of his associated adventures. His presentation will be illustrated by medium-format slides on a Hasselblad projector.

We are warned that his stories are not for the faint-hearted!
