Last night saw the first (but, hopefully not the last) ‘Stella’ quiz.
Stella volunteered (?) way back to do the quiz thinking it was an easy option, I’m sure she’s now regretting it!
There was a good turn out and high expectations…   ...until the first question well and truly put us in our place!

The quiz continued with some very difficult and also local based questions, all in all very well put together.
The winner on the night was Paul Summers, our local ‘historian’ who has an in-depth knowledge of all things ‘Notty’ as he would say. Well done to Paul and thanks to all those others making up the numbers on what was an interesting and enjoyable evening. Special thanks also to Stella, what about a sequel next year?

Congratulations to Chris Newham for winning the Chairman’s Challenge with his hilarious shot of the fast food sign on Lindisfarne. We all had a really good chuckle (again) and it emerged as the clear winner on the night. Thanks to all the other members who also submitted entries…shame on those that didn’t!
I am fairly (?) confident of a good entry for this next challenge now you have seen the quality prizes on offer.

The new challenge is ‘Self Portrait’, I have set this as most of us need to improve our people photography, so, let the creativity flow and lets see some imaginative ideas. Closing date will be the end of July, I will send out reminders in due course.

Please send your entries direct to me (chairman@nops.org.uk) at the normal NOPS competition size, please note (Lester!) that only one entry is permitted per member.

Go on, give it a go.

There’s an ambition burning bright on the photography scene in Nottingham, as the city’s fastest growing club, the Nottingham Outlaws, looks back on 25 years of friendship, irreverence and a stunning portfolio of work that would grace any exhibition hall in the country.

Thursday 31 May saw the 2nd print competition of  2012, the judge, John McLean gave a different view point on things as he is a commercial photographer, rather than a “normal” NEMPF judge.

A good selection of images were shown, so John had his work cut out.
