The closed adjudication to be held in Dumfries in December will have 6 applicants from the Midlands taking their ‘C’ Credit. The adjudication in April 2015 at Southampton is closed for the ‘C’ Credit but there are still places left for the ‘D’ Distinction. The August 2015 adjudication to be held in Ormskirk is filling up quickly so those people who want to make an application should do so as soon as possible. The list is also open for entries to the Welsh adjudication in November 2015 - somewhere in the deepest South Wales. David Venables Awards Secretary 10 ND COUN DLA T MI FEDERATIO N FO HIC PHOTOGRA P IES e-Newsletter U N D E D 1907 MCPF Archivist/ Historian Dr. David Moore EFIAP MPAGB BPE5 Photographers Walk I have consulted with senior managers in the Library of Birmingham and have been advised that it was unlikely that a decision would be made about booking the ‘Photographers Wall’ on the Café Mezzanine until the future of the GRAIN Photography Hub is known. Currently, only GRAIN is taking bookings for the Wall but GRAIN will end in its current form at the end of this year – although projects it initiated will carry on through 2015. It is hoped that GRAIN will continue in some form from 2015 onwards, but it is not yet clear what form that will take, if so, whether it will be open to other non – GRAIN sponsored users. GRAIN is a name that Pete James, Curator, Photographic Collections and Nicola Shipley came up with two years ago to encompass their plans and projects. It is not an acronym. It somehow simply summed up what they were starting off but with strong references to the past. [email protected] or http://grainphotographyhub.co.uk The light, environment and security conditions in the Photographers’ Wall are not to Gallery conditions. The Library of Birmingham will issue a statement to prospective users of the Wall. Access to MCPF Archival Materials Library of Birmingham are advising researchers to plan a ‘mini-research campaign’ – not just for Midland Counties Photographic Federation but for many of the other Library collections. So, if a researcher wants to view something easily identifiable such as meeting minutes, they should then request an appointment at [email protected] for viewing MS 2207 MCPF previous General Meeting or Council Minutes held in the archives. If they want to check what is held for individual photographers and so forth, they should raise an enquiry at [email protected] and state (a) the nature of their enquiry for example photographs from the Roy Thornton Collection and (b) whether they are tied to specific dates or whether they are flexible for appointments to view the selected items. Researchers will be able to view the items they have requested in the Wolfson Centre, which provides a comfortable and welcoming environment, with Librarians and Archivists on hand to point them in the right direction to help pursue their research. It is recommended that a study place is reserved in the centre and please remember for access you will need a Carn ticket.

Combined PSA, FIAP and RPS Nature Photography Definition . Nature photography is restricted to the use of the photographic process to depict all branches of natural history, except anthropology and archeology, in such a fashion that a well-informed person will be able to identify the subject material and certify its honest presentation. The story telling value of a photograph must be weighed more than the pictorial quality while maintaining high technical quality. Human elements shall not be present, except where those human elements are integral parts of the nature story such as nature subjects, like barn owls or storks, adapted to an environment modified by humans, or where those human elements are in situations depicting natural forces, like hurricanes or tidal waves. Scientific bands, scientific tags or radio collars on wild animals are permissible. Photographs of human created hybrid plants, cultivated plants, feral animals, domestic animals, or mounted specimens are ineligible, as is any form of manipulation that alters the truth of the photographic statement. No techniques that add, relocate, replace, or remove pictorial elements except by cropping are permitted. Techniques that enhance the presentation of the photograph without changing the nature story or the pictorial content, or without altering the content of the original scene, are permitted including HDR, focus stacking and dodging/burning. Techniques that remove elements added by the camera, such as dust spots, digital noise, and film scratches, are allowed. Stitched images are not permitted. All allowed adjustments must appear natural. Color images can be converted to greyscale monochrome. Infrared images, either direct-captures or derivations, are not allowed. Images used in Nature Photography competitions may be divided in two classes: Nature and Wildlife. Images entered in Nature sections meeting the Nature Photography Definition above can have landscapes, geologic formations, weather phenomena, and extant organisms as the primary subject matter. This includes images taken with the subjects in controlled conditions, such as zoos, game farms, botanical gardens, aquariums and any enclosure where the subjects are totally dependent on man for food. Images entered in Wildlife sections meeting the Nature Photography Definition above are further defined as one or more extant zoological or botanical organisms free and unrestrained in a natural or adopted habitat. Landscapes, geologic formations, photographs of zoo or game farm animals or of any extant zoological or botanical species taken under controlled conditions are not eligible in Wildlife sections. Wildlife is not limited to animals, birds and insects. Marine subjects and botanical subjects (including fungi and algae) taken in the wild are suitable wildlife subjects, as are carcasses of extant species. Wildlife images may be entered in Nature sections of Exhibitions. PSA. Black & White (Monochrome) (FIAP Definition) A monochrome image is defined as having varying shades of no more than one colour (various shades of that colour from very light to very dark) but it may be any single colour. Multi-toned images (various shades of two or more colours) and greyscale images with added accent colour are not acceptable in Monochrome Class sections and must be entered in Colour Class sections. FIAP. A black and white image is one with tones from very dark grey (black) to very clear grey (white) A black and white image toned entirely in a single colour will be able to stand in the black & white category and can be reproduced in black & white in the catalogue. On the other hand a black and white image modified by partial toning or by the addition of one colour to a part of the image becomes a colour image and should be entered in the colour category. This type of image will be reproduced in the colour pages of the catalogue. 15 ND COUN DLA T MI FEDERATIO N FO HIC PHOTOGRA P IES e-Newsletter U N D E D 1907 SPECIAL NOTES ON ENTRY FEES The preferred method of payment is by PayPal using a credit or debit card or a PayPal account.
