The club’s programme has always been an organic thing. There
will be changes to the published list as we take advantage of
events that come to our attention. Sometimes the hall is booked
for another event and we have to change the venue. You can
keep on top of things by keeping an eye on the website, Notice
Board and listening to the Chairman’s Notices at the meetings.

The Buckingham Camera
Club was formed in 1979
out of a desire to promote
photography
in
the
Buckingham and Winslow
areas.
The club now numbers
nearly 40 photographers
with many and varied
specialities: aviation, natural
history, digital imaging, ink
jet printing, special effects,
table-top,
portrait,
landscape, still-life, figure
studies, candid and abstract you name it and we have a
member involved in it!
The Club is affiliated to the
Photographic Alliance of
Great
Britain
(PAGB)
through
the
Chilterns
Association of Camera
Clubs (CACC). This gives
us access to speakers and
judges
from
a

The programme is roughly
divided into five types of
evening:
Competition nights, when
members
submit
their
current work to a competent
and independent judge and
are awarded marks which
accumulate
to
the
Photographer of the Year
competition.
Practical evenings, when we
photograph a subject or a
special effect.(There are
SOME clubs where you
never see a camera!!)
Casual evenings when we
just meet and discuss our
latest projects and share our
skills with our fellow
photographers. These are
ideal for the beginner or the
new member.
Speakers. We invite an
expert to give an illustrated
lecture on a specialist
subject.
Social event: several times
in the year we are able to get
together with a Christmas
party, a Barbeque, Garden
Party or an informal supper.
Guests welcome.
In addition there are
occasional
weekend
workshops, Sunday trips and
extra evenings in the week
to visit other clubs.
There is we think, a well
balanced programme for
everyone's interest be it

projected colour, audio

Prints Critique Night— We each bring 3 images as
prints. Separate tables are numbered, say, 1 to 9
and an equal number of prints (which are also
numbered, say 1-5) are put on each table. So for
Table 1 we have T1 and the image number. The
members organise themselves into groups for the
amount of tables. For each group there is a record
sheet for every table and we give a score from 0 to 5
for each image on the table. 5 is a rarity; the images
have to be exceptional to get top marks. We have
about 4 minutes to critique and mark each table’s
images before moving on to the next table and
eventually scoring all the images. The 2014 winner
was Mike Kirby LBIPP LSWPP

Footnotes
Casual evenings:
The casual evening each
month has a theme. We
can accept or ignore this
theme depending on
what else we find
interesting to discuss but
there will at least be a
table, demo or short
lecture on the theme to
ensure the evening has a
focal point.
Competitions:
Please ensure you have
read the rules on page 11
and the separate
guidelines before
submitting any work for
competition. Please
contact any of the
committee members who
are fully conversant with
the presentation needs of
the print easel, the
projector and the audio
visual system.
External competitions:
Please ensure you have
read ALL the rules and
guidelines before
submitting any work for
selection for external
competition.
Each year, as you rejoin
and pay your subs, you
will be asked to fill in
and sign a form
permitting your images
to be used for display on
the club’s website.
Committee work
The current committee
members are listed on
page 12 with their contact
details.
If you feel you have the
time and enthusiasm to
help the club, please
make yourself known to a
committee member.
We have a core number
of seven members but are
happy to co-opt
additional members for
specific tasks. The more
the merrier.
The committee meets just
four times per year. The
meetings last about two
hours and provide a
forum for suggestions and
implementation.
If you’d rather see it
run your way, join us
and ensure that it is!
I’ll be the judge of that!
In 2012 for the first time
we started a monthly
series of on-line-only
competitions for fully
paid up members. It takes
place on the BCC website
where we can post
images: 1400x1050 jpegs.
There is an entry fee of
£1.00 per image and a
deadline for entries.
Members can score the
images from 1 to 20 and
the winner gets 50% of
the pot. 50% goes to club
funds.

PAGB. The competitions that we run in
the club are administered by our own
rules BUT some of the best images may
be retained by the external competitions
secretary for use by the club in
competitions organised by the
Associations and Federations listed in the
PAGB Handbook. Each has its own rules;
the relevant information is available on
the CACC website: (http://
www.chilternsassociationofcameraclubs.c
o.uk/downloads.htm)
If our images conform to ALL the rules
and guides then we shall not be
embarrassed by entering external
competitions with work that does not fit
the regulations.
* The club accepts the FIAP (2003),
PAGB (2004) and CACC (2004)
definition of monochrome:
“A black and white work going from the
very dark grey (black) to the very clear
grey (white) is a monochrome work with
the various shades of grey. A black and
white work toned entirely in a single
colour will remain a monochrome work
able to stand in the black and white
(monochrome) category. On the other
hand a black and white work modified by
a partial toning or by the addition of one
colour becomes a colour work
(polychrome) to stand in the colour
category.”
