Some of you might have met Steve who was a guest at the last club competition. He is actually a photography lecturer specialising in studio and portrait work. We have invited him to give us a tutorial session on June 3rd, he will be bringing kit and a model, also some money off offers at Calumet. The idea being that he does a half hour talk, then we move onto shooting the model.
This should be an excellent opportunity to work with studio lights/flash with expert guidance available.
There were lots of very interesting entries for both sections in the Nottingham Outlaws’ second projected photography competition of the year.
Winner of the themed section, “reflections” was Scott with his photo ‘Peace’. Top of the open section and overall winner on the night was Les with his image ‘vogue58’
Congratulations to everyone who entered, the winning images can be seen below.

Last Thursday’s no meeting night was the perfect chance for an evening outing to catch a sunset over Rutland Water.
A good Outlaws turnout saw a pleasant, but not stunning, sunset in a beautiful tranquil setting. The church provided a perfect chance to grab a last minute ‘reflections’ photo for next week’s competition theme!
The photos are starting to pop up on flickr, here are a few of them.

A thrilling Richard Balter Challenge, hosted by Rushcliffe Photographic Society, saw 11 clubs from across the East Midlands – from Arnold to North East Lincs – battle it out under the rapid fire scrutiny of seasoned NEMPF judge Tony Pioli, who cast a critical eye over images from 55 different photographers.
The Nottingham Outlaws Photography Soc meeting this coming Thursday 15 April 2010 will be a talk by Paul Money, a well known astronomer and photographer.
For those of you who have not seen him at NOPS before, his talks are always well presented and he is a very entertaining speaker. This will be a good night and we look forward to seeing you there.
Last Thursday was the second print competition of the year and consisted of an open section and a themed section, “vanishing point”.
There were a lot of great entries and some really interesting feedback from the judge, professional photographer John McLean.
This Thursday is competition night. It is the second print competition of the year and will have the now usual open section and a themed section. The theme is Vanishing Point so get digging around for your best photos of narrow streets, long piers, tall buildings etc. and get your titles to Ben by Wednesday evening.
Last Thursday saw the Projected Digital home leg of the James Maude Club battle. The Outlaws were victorious with a score of 339 to James Maude’s 323.
Outlaws’ Ian Pinn scored 20 with this image, “Lewis Hamilton”.

As you have probably (hopefully) noticed, the Nottingham Outlaws now have a brand new shiny website.
The idea is to make the site a much more central part of the club, with regular updates on what’s coming up in the following weeks, recaps on competitions, and interesting ideas from the members themselves. If you are interested in contributing content to the site, let us know and we’ll sort you out with some details.
Feel free to have a poke around, check out the gallery pages, and let us know when you find something broken!.
There is no official meeting on Thursday this week due to there being a committee meeting, but a few members have arranged alternative activities.
I believe the committee meeting is being used to choose prints for the James Maude Battle.
Chris is arranging a night visit to an abandoned stately home somewhere for long exposure and light painting fun. See Chris for details.
