The reflector has a convenient handle in one of the corners.

Bishop’s Stortford Sinfonia I am the Artistic Director of Bishop’s Stortford Sinfonia. Our next concert is coming up on Sunday 22nd January. We would love to have some photos of the orchestra taken during a rehearsal for this concert, as you can get good angles/close ups far more easily during the rehearsal than the concert. Various friends have taken photos at previous concerts but we are really lacking good images at the moment! The most ideal time for this would be on the day of the concert, Sunday 22nd January, when we are rehearsing between 1.30 and 5.00pm, at the Memorial Hall in Bishop’s Stortford College. However, if this is not possible, another option is our rehearsal on Friday 20th January between 7 and 10pm, again at the college. It certainly needn’t take the length of the rehearsal, a photographer could pop in for a short period during the rehearsal at any time that suited them. Full details of the concert can be found here: https://bishopsstortfordsinfonia.com/concerts/ I hope this may be of interest to one of your members, and would be delighted to offer complimentary tickets in thanks for the photos, should the photographer wish to come to the concert. Best wishes Simon Gilliver RPS Photo Workshop in Wymondham The RPS East Anglia Region will be running an informal Photo Workshop in Wymondham on Sunday 12th February. This is an ideal opportunity for people to bring their images for discussion and comment, particularly those who are thinking of embarking on an RPS distinction in the near future.
