Chris has used them for the past 4 years, and wouldn't go anywhere else for prints.

WPS member Gary Scorgie provided us with an inspiring presentation on the subject Nature in Britain.

He also mentioned that he’d attended several events organised by TimeLine Events which he had found particularly good.

TimeLine say of themselves:

At TimeLine Events we pride ourselves in delivering unique and excellent days out for photographers of all levels. Our photography events and adventures aim to inspire anyone with an interest in taking photographs and they provide an interactive environment where you can meet new and likeminded people. Running events all around the UK we work with some truly exclusive and unique venues giving attendees the opportunity to photograph subjects that would not normally be accessible. We cover a wide variety of subjects including aviation, steam, wildlife, landscapes portraiture and much more so there is something for everyone to enjoy.

You can find out more about TimeLine events here and about some of the upcoming adventures that are planned here.

SheClicks a community for female photographers that has a friendly, informative vibe. Its aim is to encourage and support female photographers of all levels of experience and it’s open to all women interested in photography whether you shoot on a smartphone, film camera, DSLR or the latest mirrorless model. You can be a beginner or a seasoned professional.

The community recently was awarded the Amateur Photographer Community of the Year Award 2023 and was also recently highlighted in an article by Amy Davies in Amateur Photographer magazine.

SheClicks was founded by Angela Nicholson,  a freelance photographer, journalist and reviewer of cameras and photographic equipment. 

In the article, Angela says,

I was conscious that we didn’t see many women in photography magazines. I don’t think it was deliberate sexism, it was just that the magazine teams have a network of established photographers that they work with and men are generally much more forthcoming about saying they’ve done this and that. I knew plenty of women who were also doing great things but were just kind of getting on with it and not shouting about it. I wanted to do something to give female photographers a louder voice and to explain exactly how to get noticed.

You can find lots more information about SheClicks on their web site here, and if you’re interested in joining then you can do that here.  Membership is free.

The Centre for British Photography is now open. 

The Centre is a significant new space that seeks to champion photography made in Britain.

A charitable initiative, it has exhibitions spaces, a programme of public events, an archive, and a shop. It aims to provide a dedicated home for British Photography in all its diversity. The aim is to host exhibitions curated independently by outside curators and institutional partners as well as to provide access to the Hyman Collection and in so doing present an expansive overview of British photography past and present.

The centre is based at 49 Jermyn Street, London SW1Y 6LX, just off Piccadilly, for an initial period of two years in order to develop relationships with other organisations, charities and individuals that will allow it to become independent and self-sustaining. 

Exhibitions at the Centre are FREE and all profits from the gallery shop will go to fund the centre and its grants programme.
