In April this year we launched this external open photo competition for Horsham residents as part our 75th anniversary celebration, arranged and sponsored by Roger Baker, our life president. Sadly, Roger died on 10 May 2014 after a very short illness. As a result of the manner in which Roger conducted himself as a true gentleman, and his unique contribution to our society for 71 years as a member, and latterly as our life president; we have always seen him as the glue which held our society together. Over the years he has made numerous good friends at the club and he will be sorely missed. Rather than allow Roger’s death to mar this event, the competition which he arranged to celebrate our anniversary will now be held in his memory. We know he would have appreciated his parting memory being in connection with his beloved Horsham Photographic Society. |

The competition was held in early November, judged by Darren Pullman BPE3* CPAGB EFIAP.
The winners of the respective competition groups were: Group 1 : Graham Wilcock with 'A Touch of Strange' Group 2 : Brian Hinvest with 'Happy Days' Group 3 : Julie Fry with 'High Notes' Following the success of Talking Pictures, I have compiled this new presentation called ‘The Eloquent Landscape’ . The title is primarily a reference to my experience when working in the landscape, to the connection I sense and feel with the natural world around me, and the elements within it. They speak to me. Through my photography I would hope that my images also communicate with the viewer too. The talk embraces four sections, with significant content taken in Iceland, and much closer to home on Stoke Common. More Information...
Horsham Photographic Society has secured the renowned guest speaker, Tom Way, and we would like to share this speaker with you for our first open talk since Covid19 restrictions have been relaxed. Tom will give us a broad overview of his life as a fine art wildlife photographer. He will demonstrate the various camera settings used to create his preferred style whilst speaking about the components he feels are essential in creating evocative wildlife imagery. Tom will outline the importance of print and explains how he creates a viable business through photography. His talk is regularly updated with his latest imagery and so it is different from year to year. The cost of this presentation is £3. You are welcome to pay by cash on the evening. More Details...
