How to submit pictures and text for publication on the web site:
Pictures: Down size each photograph until it is about 800 pixels along the long edge saving it as a JPEG (highest quality) or a Tiff. Give each picture a short name which will be used as the caption, send the pictures to me by email to smk@anvic.net or by post on a CD or by hand at the club. Please make sure your name is on the CD or on the email so that I can place the pictures in the correct folder on the site.
Text: Please do NOT send me a microsoft word file, plain text or RTF are best. There is no such thing as a standard microsoft word file format and something always seems to go wrong when converting a word document. Please ensure your name appears in the document.
PLEASE - Think how your document will look when published.
If you send your submission by email please give the email the title: "For ACC website"
Any questions or comments please get in contact.

The annual Photographer of the Year Competition, sponsored by Tom Dennis Imaging of Scunthorpe, was well supported with over sixty entries. Judge Erica Oram from Sheffield, had a difficult task. She studied all the photographs in the competition, and commented on each one, giving helpful advice where she felt it would be of use, before short-listing ten, which turned out to be fourteen, so high was the overall standard of work. From these she eventually selected her top three, with the winner being Jean Goodburn's beautiful study of a long tailed tit. Jean was presented with the Tom Dennis Imaging Trophy and one of three prizes donated by member Alan Townsend. Alan then went on to win second and third prizes!

Previoiusly, Alan Townsend had given a talk to members, 'Film to Digital', in which he shared some of his earliest images, taken on film and processed in the darkroom, alongside his more recent digital work, comparing the different techniques and results. It was a very interesting and informative talk as well as an opportunity to see more of Alan's terrific work. It is good to know we have such talent in the club.

Two senior members of Axholme Camera Club have been awarded Honorary Life Membership, much to their surprise. Cliff Espin -Bradley and John Roberts have both been members for over thirty years, and have served the club as Chairmen and committee members at various times. " We have been friends throughout, " said John, " and remember when the club was down to a handful of members. It is lovely to have seen it grow again, into the successful club we have today."
Both John and Cliff are still active members of the club, attending meetings regularly and entering competitions. This continuing enthusiasm for photography is a wonderful achievement, especially as Cliff recently celebrated his eightieth birthday . Both have embraced the digital age and use the new technology to great effect, often producing award winning images.
