Projection Open Competitions 3 & 4
Projection Open Competition No 3
Will now be held on 24 March (yes, after #5). It was rescheduled from 6 January (due to the heavy snowfall). Only digital images that were submitted for this round which met the original deadline will be shown and do not need to be resubmitted. No further digital images will be accepted. Those members submitting slides will need to bring those along on the night.
Projection Open Competition No 4
The judge (Paul Hampton) booked for the evening of 3 February was unfortunately unable to attend. As a result, we projected the images as planned along with commentary provided by the YCC judges, but without scoring them. The images had been handed to Paul Hampton who has marked them and the results are posted.

Photography and counter-Terrorism legislation
The Home Office have published a circular 012 / 2009 advising the police on photography in public places and when they should take action and, more importantly, when they should not. It's probably worth printing and keeping in your camera bag should you tactfully need to educate an over-eager public servant. Link to the document on the Home Office web site

Excellent Performance by YCC Members
Many congratulations to Claude Kensett and Peter Rosambeau for their successes in the Spectrum and Heywood Trophies.  Once again Claude won the Spectrum Trophy.  He won it with his slide of the blue glass which we saw at our competition last week. Peter got third in the Heywood Trophy.

YOUR MEMBERS' FORUM NEEDS YOU: (imagine Lord Kitchener's finger pointing at you). Members are starting to use the forum now to broadcast details of events of interest to other members such as the Epson Print Academy and free training in Photoshop CS4. Also posted are details of photographic trips to London (Nov 30 and Dec 7). So if you have any information you wish to share, please post it in the members' forum; it is really easy to do so.
If you haven't tried the forum, please sign up (members only) and use them otherwise you really will miss out. Feel free to discuss what you like (as long as it has some relevance to photography), ask questions or post information, tell us how we (and I don't mean just the committee) can improve the club. Don't worry about making the odd mistake; you have full rights to edit or delete whatever you post. It is encouraging that some of this season's new members are already adding contributions to the discussions so please keep it up.
The current "hot" topics include Photographer's rights, and a poll as to what should go in the Best Images Gallery.
If anyone has difficulties getting started with the forums (or using this web site), please drop me an email.
In case you are not aware, all words on the YCC site that are underlined are hotspots (or links) which when clicked on, open or link you to the appropriate article.
I will endeavour to amend the competition results to include this week's projection competition by the weekend.
