Hi all,
Hope you’ve all had a good weekend. I see from Facebook many of you have been out & about with your cameras this weekend making the most of the sunshine.
It’s the first competition of the year this week, always a great night to get your pictures critiqued by an independent judge. Nothing to be scared of or worried about, it’s all good fun as we will see on Tuesday.
See you then,
Brian

RPS East Anglian Regional Sponsored lecture – Susan Brown FRPS
Passionate about the continuously changing moods of light, tides and wind at the coast and the graphic design in cities, Sue will show work spanning over 30 years but concentrating on her more recent work of the last ten years after changing from Darkroom to Digital.
Sue experiments with varying shutter speeds and particularly enjoys the imagery at the coast using a very long exposure, which transforms images to become restful and ethereal. Although predominantly a seascape/landscape photographer,
Sue enjoys working on bodies of work so will include some architectural work and panels of work taken locally in Devon.
There is no need to obtain tickets, but please drop me an email if you intend to come so that I can ensure we don’t run out of biscuits!

The Macallan 2016 Royal Photographic Society Awards Ceremony
UK PHOTOGRAPHER GAINS TOP AWARD FOR HIS RUSSIAN AVANT-GARDE WORK IN THE RPS ANNUAL AWARDS HELD AT THE ROYAL SOCIETY
Tony Bramley FRPS, has been recognised for his work in bringing a dynamic form of the Modernist Russian avant-garde movement of Suprematism into photography. At The Macallan Royal Photographic Society Annual Awards Ceremony held at the Royal Society in London, he was presented with the Bill Wisden MBE HonFRPS Fellowship of the Year Award, for the most outstanding panel of work achieving a Fellowship.
Professional photographer Tony, produced a unique body of work with twenty images of abstracted photographs, produced in the style of Dynamic Suprematism from early twentieth century Russian avant-garde artist Kazimir Malevich. Tony now hopes this will help to secure future commissions and exhibitions of this extremely abstract form of photography.
The original submission passed the three stage process for Fellowship with The Royal Photographic Society back in November 2015, the centenary year of Malevich’s Suprematism movement. Tony’s innovative work was a style of photography the RPS had never seen before and became a big talking point at the Society.
Photographers who have tried this style in the past have generally produced works that were still objective. Tony has transformed his photographs into the totally non-objective, using just the pure beauty of the existing geometric elements that are around our everyday world and captured in his ‘donor’ images.
Tonys Images can be seen on the RPS website: http://www.rps.org/member/gallery/tony-bramley/Fellowship-Panel
