Congratulations to Les who won last months competition.
Les has decided that being a gadget freak the theme will be ‘My Favourite Gadget’, this does not have to be top studio product images but Les is expecting a bit of creativity even if it’s taking a shot of your latest fab camera through a mirror.
The level of entries last month was disappointing so please get out there, take some shots and give Les plenty of entries to select from, either email your image to Les or send a link to it’s location on Flickr or other photo sharing site. Good luck.
Thursday 26th January 2012 saw us holding our annual Members Choice competition, with 28 prints and 45 projected images on offer, the members had their work cut out to choose their top six images.
After a good viewing of all the work on offer we finally came to the member’s overall top images for each genre, the winning images are as follows…

Ken Monkhouse died on the 16th of January 2012, aged 73.
He was one of the three Founder members of the Nottingham Outlaws Photographic Society, and its first Chairman. During his time with the Outlaws he also held a number of other positions on the committee, namely Secretary, Programme Secretary, Vice Chairman and Members Secretary. It was he who found our first venue and our current venue, he coordinated our marketing media, collected and delivered our images for battles with other clubs and for exhibitions, and manned the first exhibitions that we held.
He played a major part in setting out the policies, competition rules and club programme, forging links with other photographic clubs, securing our acceptance into NEMPF, manufacturing the clubs first annual trophies and the individual (keepsake) trophies. In short, Ken was instrumental in setting the basis of the club that we know today.
He leaves behind two daughters, Melanie and Keren, son Ian, and granddaughter Molly to whom we would like to convey our sincerest and heartfelt condolences.
He was an inspiration to many people, and a lovely man. He will be sorely missed and is a great loss to our Society.
I am pleased to say that there have been quite a few prints and digital images acceptances for the club into the 2012 NEMPF exhibition, with over 2600 submissions this year competition for a place has been stiff & the scores required for acceptance are high.
A total acceptance of 17 photos from NOPS which equates to 12.5% of total images NOPS submitted were accepted
