WDPS Annual Exhibition

Last night the Annual Walthamstow and District Photo Society Exhibition began at St. Mary's Church's Welcome Centre. The night began with a few introductions and then came the awards. In short, the awards all went to the right people, sometimes for the wrong photo but all in all the most talented of the exhibitors received fitting accolades.
It was a treat to see the clubs photos presented all in one place, and although there is a preference for Natural History photography amongst the majority of members, there is still a breadth of subject matter and style.
I really must link to some of the winners' online photos as there are some gems amongst them, at the moment I'm on my iPhone and it's too much hassle to create links and such.
The exhibition goes on all week. Tonight, Tuesday 26th, is a viewing only night and a great chance to really get to see the photos. I will arm myself with a pen and paper and link to a selection of online work.

Hell's Shells

The first time I watched The Blair Witch project was on my home computer on a pirated but perfect copy, alone in my room and in the house, and in total darkness save the light of my screen. Apart from the running and screaming in that movie I remember the strange wooden idols that hung throughout the wood. Strangely crafted omens of the trouble that was about to come for the protagonists. These photos are of similar items found whilst I was checking out the Walthamstow Arts Trail. Hopefully they were left by an artist and not a murderous witch.

WDPS: Newsletter Competition - Waltham Forrest

Each 6 weeks or so a competition is set for all members of Walthamstow District Photo Society with the prize of a bottle of wine from the competition setters vault. I've won the competition once, and the wine was good enough to keep me entering time after time. Last competition was on the theme of Waltham Forest, so I figured that anything within the district was eligible as a subject. I entered two photos, the first is a long exposure of a bus passing the pub, The Rose and Crown. This one was heavily influenced by another club members photography... a pale imitation.

The second photo is of the old pillar box in front of the oldest building in Walthamstow. There isn't one person at the club who hasn't seen a million photos of this pillar box. I was attempting to do something different, and I have a few more ideas of how to shoot this, but as I wasn't going for THE WIN this time around I just entered this one, it's fun. Here's the winner, just follow this link.
