2nd Monthly Competition - Results are in!
A fantastic array of monochrome images and prints were on display at the 2nd monthly competition. Congratulations to worthy winners Mike Farrance and Donald Parsons and Jean McMillan.
Ross vs Mike
On 11th December the Club was presented with an exploration of different approaches to photography. Over two days, two photographers - Mike and Ross, had taken their cameras to two locations - the East Lothian coastline and Glasgow City Centre. Although each has varied output, Mike is more known for landscape photography whilst Ross is at home in the urban environment, and at events and gigs. The pair headed out together on each occasion, although they split up whilst in Glasgow, and started looking for images to capture. Some of the best results of each outing (along with some which didn’t work) were presented to the Club audience. Whilst both had successes, it was clear that each had approached his home subject with greater intention, enabling stronger results. For the landscape work, Mike worked the skies, the water and the sands, sometimes using long exposures, whilst Ross felt the loss of a definite subject. In Glasgow, Ross took lots of people-pictures, even asking a passerby to feature, whilst Mike preferred his humans zoomed in from a distance. A great opportunity for members to appreciate different approaches to photography and have quite a few laughs along the way.

Our meetings are on Thursday evenings from Sept to Apr in Hamilton Old Parish Church halls and new members are welcome at any time.

Glasgow Evening Photoshoot Part 2
Call of the Wild - Scottish Landscapes
Our heartfelt thanks to Robert Quig, a founder member of Kilmaurs Photographic Club for sharing his exceptional portfolio of images depicting the landscapes of his native country, centred around his country home in Invergarry. Images covered a vast range of diverse locations from literally on his doorstep to the inner hebrides, western isles, Glen Coe, the Trossachs and beyond. A defining feature of these photographs is their ability to convey vast, wild spaces, and Robert explained how he sometimes uses a small focal point such as a lone tree or walker to help emphasise the scale of the surrounding area. Snow, mist and transient, dramatic sunbeams are used creatively to express a seemingly endless variety of effects in the ever changing landscape, literally putting wild Scotland in a new light.
