[QueensPhoto] Press Photographer of the Year Exhibition

[O.J. Beardon]

Dear Friends,

I hope your have all been having a good summer with lots of opportunity to 
take stunning pictures. I'm sure we all look forward to seeing them!

I just wanted to let you know that the Press Photographer of the Year 
competition has it's exhibition on at the moment at the Royal Festival Hall 
on the south bank and is well worth a look. Do go and see it if you are in 
London. If the aim of a photograph is to tell a story, then these are the 
masters. Of course you can use pictures to tell your own story, as so many 
in our exhibition did, or to invent a new story from the things we see all 
around us.

So, just for a little bit of holiday fun, why don't we try to take a series 
of pictures which tell a story, just like the press photographer exhibition 
does. It can be just a couple, or as many as you like, but each one should 
contribute something more to the whole.

If you are lucky enough to encounter a demonstration, those are great fun 
and offer endless opportunities, but I' sure with a bit of ingenuity 
anything is possible. How about a series of pictures which describes 
someone? You may want to think about different scales, something which 
conveys a sense of the overall picture (if there is one) and details.

Have fun!
