Vince Penticost AWPF
It is with great sadness that Western Valley CC announces the passing of their well-respected and much loved Chairman, Vince Penticost AWPF.
As a club we will miss him, along with his sense of humour, catch phrases & his honest and wonderful critique.

Congratulations to club member Steve Hawker AWPF who has had three print images accepted in the 2024 Welsh Salon.

Thanks to Elisa Best who visited the club last night and gave a very informative talk about Kruger National Park. Including loads of useful info about travel, accommodation & the options for seeing the amazing wildlife. Also some amazing images to show us all what we're missing!

This Thursday we have a treat for all you nature lovers/photographers!
Elisa Best is visiting the club for the 1st time with her Kruger Game Park presentation.
Looking forward to a good turn out!!!!

I'd never seem images quite like this, or heard of the Adamski Effect
The Adamski effect was created by Josh Adamski. It uses blur techniques to create the illusion of movement, & you choose to isolate figures/elements in the photo and leave them un-blurred.
Like it or loathe it?

Apparently, today is #PrintingInkDay, so what a great opportunity to showcase the work that our members did with their printing during 2023. Here is a video featuring a selection of Prints produced by our members during 2023

All The Very Best,

It was lovely to see a slideshow of all images entered this year. It showed what a good standard our images are and what we are capable of.
