Wymondham Photographic Society have just wrapped up our annual exhibition.

We had a public vote of the 65 prints on display, where 31 images got at least one vote from the varied subjects on display.

The overall winner, with 11 votes, was Craig Harriss with his inventive ‘Cityscape’ image.

Chris told the magazine, “I saw the idea for this online somewhere, so decided to try in my garage at home. I bought a piece of black shiny acrylic and put it on a table, and used a black sheet as a background. Then I picked some nuts and bolts and things and played around with them until it looked a bit like tall city buildings.

“I then use a continuous light with a pillow case over it to diffuse a bit, and experiment with the best angle etc to get a nice reflection. One thing I noticed straight away is that it showed up every spec of dust, so a lot of cleaning was needed before taking the finished shot!”

Equal 2nd were two stunning wildlife images by 2025 Top Photographer Jez Wood. His shots of a Ptarmigan and Osprey got 7 votes each.

Interested in taking people’s portraits on camera? Look no further than the Society’s new venture.

This is an internal group for WPS club members who want to hone their portrait skills, and has 6 sessions planned so far. The first took place at the Dell Bowls Club on Wednesday 17th August and was a lighting masterclass. The next session will take place in October; check the Dell Bowls website for more information.

The group is being run by Geoff Long and Charles Phillips, who have some interesting shoots planned, a great addition to the club's activities.

We welcome any new members and visitors! For more information, see our website.

The Wymondham Photographic Society would like to thank exhibition sponsors Smith & Pinching financial services for their continued support
