- 23rd May 2022 - James Davies: Electric Photography. Seeking satisfaction with film in the digital era. Taking photos on film and publishing them on the internet. This goes with the idea that electric guitar took the acoustic guitar added electricity and made it reach more people whilst at the same time creating a whole new genre. So the same goes for James starting with photon capture on film but following it through with a digital element. It will touch on the slow photography idea he has previously written about and the moment he realised film "worked" for him and then the personal aspect of sharing his own self-expression across the internet with strangers. James has a YouTube channel which he calls Photo Chat Vlog as well as a blog and presence on both Instagram and Flickr. https://about.me/jsnowdendavies Reminder: Entries due in for the Project Evening - The same view or subject in six separate months Please do not attend if you feel at all unwell.

Types of Event
External speaker: A speaker brought in from outside the club. Often but not always from the lists of speakers provided by the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain (PAGB) or Western Counties Photographic Federation (WCFP). Topics vary a great deal from discussions of photographic techniques or genres to travelogues or how the speaker prepared submissions for awards, exhibitions or salons.
Internal Speaker: An equally varied range of subjects as for "External Speakers" but with the presentation given by a member of the club. He or she could be an experienced presenter or a novice.
Competition: We have five or six internal photographic competitions in a season, with images commented on and placed by an external judge, usually from lists provided by the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain (PAGB) or Western Counties Photographic Federation (WCFP). We also enter several external competitions each year. Some of these competitions are regional or national but there are two local ones: the Three Way Battle, a fun match between ourselves, Sodbury and Yate Camera Club and Crossbow Camera Club; and the Tom Crowe Challlenge, named after a former Chairman of Thornbury Camera Club which sees around ten clubs compete for a trophy.
Members' Evening: A club evening of varying formats involving a number of club members showing their work or speaking. This type of meeting is usually non-competitive but could also be a fun competition or game format.
AV - A show of still or moving images with a soundtrack or commentary, often an exhibition held by an external organisation such as the N&EMPF Exhibition or the London Salon.
Outing: We meet outside the club's usual venue, primarily in the summer between the end of one club season and the start of the next, but it could be at any time of the year, either on a club night (Monday) or at any other time, usually for the joint purposes of photography and social meet-up.
