The Mayor's Cup
The Mayor’s Cup is an annual award made to the member of Yateley Camera Club who, in the opinion of the judging panel, produces a photograph that shows something about Yateley. To show something about Yateley, it could be an event, a scene, a person, wildlife etc. The photograph must be taken within the boundary of Yateley North, East, West Wards and Frogmore and Darby Green Ward as shown on the Electoral Map (not the Ecclesiastical Boundary of the Parish). It must also be taken during the ‘reign’ of the current Mayor i.e. between the time of appointment and the Camera Club Annual Exhibition.
Each member will be allowed one print which must be mounted with a maximum mount size of 400mm by 500mm. Details on the back should contain: Author, Title, Location, Date Taken. It will be judged by the Mayor and 2 members from Yateley Camera Club who have not entered the competition. Judging will take place prior to the opening of the Annual Exhibition and the cup will be awarded at that time. Prints will be displayed in the exhibition but will not be eligible for the Bun Welham Trophy competition.
The electoral map can be found at www.election-maps.co.uk and use the postcode search within Hart District. |

Projected Digital Image Test Screen Available for download
SPF Projected Digital Image Test Screen - This jpeg image has been added to the website and is available for download form the Members Document page and also Competition Results. This is shown immediately prior to the competition to help judge assess capabilities of the projector. The projector is calibrated to show all the graduated tones so if you can get your monitor to do the same, you should be able to get your tones projected as you expect them to be. |

Use the Forum!
Club Members: Are you frustrated with the generalIy one-way communication channel that we seem to depend upon? Or, if you manage to get the chairman to read out your announcement, find that everyone has forgotten about it five minutes later and cannot remember the details?
If you have not used the forum recently, please try it out. It is easy to use and is a great way of sharing ideas with each other. If we all make an effort to contribute something I'm sure it will really take off. If you have not registered for it yet (or mislaid your password), send an email to webmaster@yateleycameraclub.co.uk with your first and last names and I will create an account for you or set a new password. |

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 |
