19th February: “Victorian and Edwardian photography” by Brian FerryWe have many talented members and tonight one of them, Brian Ferry, will be giving an illustrated talk on the early history of photography. Brian says “Then, there were no TIFFs but there were plenty of tiffs, such as the controversy about whether or not photography was Art, led by Lady Elizabeth Eastlake, an artist and art critic who adamantly wrote ‘NO’, and she was the wife of the first President of the London Photographic Society which became the RPS (imagine the pillow-talk!) ” |
26th February: Annual Nature competition with judge Paddy RuskeThe annual nature competition is always a chance to see some beautiful and inspiring nature images from members, so come along and hear Paddy’s expert assessment. |
5th March: “40 years’ worth” by Leigh Preston FRPSLeigh was a member of Solihull PS in the 80s and 90s and is a well known and widely respected photographer. His talk will in his words be “lively and sardonic, even cynical in places but in a humorous vane. The pictures are of landscape, urban landscape, reportage work, some architecture and some portraiture, all sort of linked by the years I’ve travelled along this photographic road, both mono and colour.” |
