12th May - 7.45pm Bishopton Community Centre

Assignment: In it to Win it - Show and Tell.

In It to Win It celebrates the spirit of competition in all its forms. This theme invites members to capture moments where determination, rivalry and the desire to succeed are visible — whether at a formal sporting event, a grassroots race, a regatta on the Avon, a motocross meet, a board game showdown, a school sports day or any contest where winning matters. Images may show the action itself, the build-up, or the emotional aftermath, but should clearly convey the tension, effort and human drama that define competition.

Images should be in the usual format: bring on a USB stick, usually 6-8 images, jpg format, 1600x1200 maximum, SRGB profile and no bigger than 2MB

 

26th May - 7.45pm Bishopton Community Centre

Members' Evening: Stratford Scavenger Hunt

 

In this meeting, you need to bring 8 specific PDI images for a show and tell

Your task is to photograph each of the following eight subjects, interpreting them in your own style and vision:

  • Stratford Canal
  • Holy Trinity Church
  • Royal Shakespeare Theatre
  • Bancroft Gardens
  • Shakespeare’s Birthplace
  • Clopton Bridge
  • Stratford Market Square
  • Shop Window Reflections (Town Centre)

This is not intended to be a postcard exercise. We are looking for originality, strong composition, and thoughtful interpretation. Explore unusual angles, interesting light, close details, and creative perspectives. Creative treatment is encouraged (B&W, interesting perspectives or processing).

Images should be in the usual format: bring on a USB stick, usually 6-8 images, jpg format, 1600x1200 maximum, SRGB profile and no bigger than 2MB
