About David Steel DPAGB

Though I started photography many years ago and have a strong darkroom background, my work these days is predominantly digital for convenience.

Monochrome Print League Competition (2nd Round) - Appraisal by Penny Reeves LRPS
Monochrome Print League Competition (2nd Round) - Appraisal by Penny Reeves LRPS

Tues 3rd Feb 2026 7:30pm - 10:00pm

About Penny Reeves LRPS

I’ve been a keen photographer ever since I pooled all my 21st birthday money to buy my first SLR, a Pentax ME Super that I still own. The move to digital back in 2002 opened up a whole new and wonderful world of creativity for me, and the number of burnt dinners that my family will happily accuse me of demonstrates how easily I lose time once I fire up PhotoShop. My recent images have mainly been landscape and nature, but I also shoot still life and portraits and work on composites and creative experiments — if it catches my interest, I’ll have a go (which saved my sanity during the recent lockdowns). I’m always interested to see how other photographers view the world, both to gain inspiration and to share ideas.

About Naomi Saul ARPS ASINWP EFIAP DPAGB APAGB BPE4*

Having learned so much from the Camera Club world, I wanted to pass on some of the knowledge I had learned (and am still learning all the time) to others and was invited to join the East Anglian Federation of Photographic Societies (EAF) judges’ panel in 2006. I try to assess what “drove” the photographer to take the picture and always enjoy seeing the work of others.
