First Camera – Agfa 110, First SLR – Praktica LTL3 & 50 mm lens
Loosely speaking, I bought my first camera, an Agfa 110 compact, in the May of the 1976, the year I joined the RAF. Armed with a couple of films, I had ideas in my head that I would be in the next edition of National Geographic and I would tabloid news. It may come as a surprise to some, it is to me, that National Geographic have still never heard of me!
Well NOPS members have got off to a great start again this year with yet another couple of members being selected for the Basingstoke Exhibition.
The BPE Crown award scheme allows entrants, who have been successful, to accrue points for the images accepted in to a number of exhibitions held during the year at various locations throughout the country.
This is an exhibition which draws from a world wide pallet of photographers and I am proud to say that the two NOPS members who have entered have both had images accepted.
