Thursday 19th March
Last Thursday we were delighted to welcome Jane & Adrian Lines to Falkirk. Jane ( LRPS CPAGB DPAGB MPAGB BPE5* ) and Adrian ( Hon PAGB MPAGB FBPE EFIAP SPSA AWPF ) each has a distinctive and creative style across multiple areas of photography.
Jane is the current President of Chorley P.S., and Vice President of the Lancashire & Cheshire Photographic Union where she is also the Lecturers & Judges Secretary and their PAGB Executive member. She is a Judge and Lecturer in the club community and a Judge and Awards for Photographic Merit assessor for the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain. Jane is sponsored by Fotospeed.
Adrian is a Judge and Lecturer in the club community, the General Secretary of the Lancashire & Cheshire Photographic Union, and also the General Secretary of the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain. Adrian is sponsored by Permajet.
Among other areas of expertise, both have a particular skill in photographing people with an ability to portray and create characters. Jane’s portraits of villagers in Georgia conveyed both their character and lifestyle while Adrian’s images of people with their animals each told their own story.
Each carefully explained, and illustrated, their post – processing techniques too delivering a highly informative and inspiring evening.
Thursday 26th March
On Thursday 26th March we welcome club members from Kirkintilloch Camera Club and Stirling & District Camera Club for our annual competition.
An Exhibition, Talking Pictures, and a Raffle. Falkirk Writer’s Circle and Falkirk Camera Club
On Thursday 9th April we hold a joint evening with Falkirk Writers Circle titled Talking Pictures. Several months ago we gave the writers some photographs. They made a selection then wrote pieces of poetry and prose inspired by those photographs. On Talking Pictures night, in front of their projected image, each photographer introduces their photograph then is followed by the writer who reads their work. We hold a raffle each year too, and this year it’s the turn of Falkirk C.C. members to donate the prizes so we are asking our club members to contribute.
Now on, in the ground floor turret in Callendar House, is our joint exhibition with Falkirk Writer’s Circle. The theme of the photographs, poetry and prose is Autumn in Callendar Park and shows the autumn colours, the wildlife, and the way the park is used.
