Mid Calder Camera Club
Season 2025-26

Wednesday 18th February - 7.30pm start

Members 50/50 evening

Tonight will be an night of an interesting mix of images with two presentations from members...Peter and Jim are doing a 50/50... Peter will be presenting on 3 different subjects using a macro lens and hopefully we will see some of his wonderful and imaginative images using different miniature characters. and.....do you think Jim will be presenting around some of his many brilliant images of the 3 bridges around the Forth!! I think it might include some of those but what ever he includes both presentations will be interesting and informative.

And a reminder the next appraisal is March 11th, so not so long away.

Prints are open and for the pdi choices one has to be a Natural Portrait.

4 x 20

Appraisal 2 was judged for the first time since the big C word was around by Zoom. Appraiser Brian Mercer from Elgin cast his eye over the 74 images submitted and gave his opinion on members efforts. Four images gained top marks Richard M with 2 images and Margaret L and Russell W the others. The pdi section continued with a set subject of " Close up " where members showed varying interpretations of the challenge. A good number of other authors gained scores of 18 and 19 poin

Ladies Night

Members Caroline L and Sheila C joined forces for two completely different presentations at one of the club's 50:50 nights. First up was Sheila with a showing of images from Doha in the Middle East. Some fantastic buildings were expertly captured by Sheila along with other images of life in the City. After the break Caroline took the floor with a show of largely nature images from a summer trip to the Shetland Isles.

Another Trophy in the Cabinet

The club recently participated in the SPF Digital Championship held in Dunblane. Taking part in the 25 club plate competition the club finished a creditable 7th place. In fact another 2 points to our total would have taken us up to 3rd. As well as doing well in the club competition, member Sam H was awarded oine of the judges awards for his nature image " A Well Earned Snack " Well done Sam. Other well scoring images came from Gary F and Margaret L.
