Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day is April 29, 2012

I found Hannah Gal many years ago when she wrote articles in a photo magazine and I tried to persuade her to give the RPS Southern Region a talk without success. However, she did invite me to join her and many others on the Linked In site and this week she has sent me this interesting idea that we could all try out with a DSLR camera.

So have a look at the her site HERE and see what you think.

Mountain Bike Photography Event

Mountain Bike Photography Event
Saturday 5th May 2012

Hi

My name is Nicky and I'm a member of the Alton Camera Club in Hampshire. I am setting up a new company which stages events for photographers and was hoping you would display the attached poster on your camera club website and mention it at your next meeting.

My first event is taking place in the New Forest and will be held at a mountain bike centre for which we will have exclusive use. I have 3 experienced mountain bike riders who are going to be performing under our direction/requests (i.e. they will take the line we ask at the speed we ask and repeat as necessary).

There will be 2 sessions each lasting approximately 3 hours. The first starting at 2pm and the later at 6pm. The later session should allow for some more creative flash photography/light painting as the evening draws in.

Tickets cost £35 per session. There is free parking on site. The venue has toilet facilities and vending machines serving snacks and hot & cold drinks.

To find out more (and see what other events I'm working on) please visit http://www.melodyimages.com.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Many thanks
Nicky
