Club Meeting, Members Evening - Tuesday 13th September 2022.
On Tuesday 13th September 2022, Morpeth Camera Club held their traditional early season Members Evening where
those both new and old were invited to share recent images or audio/visual presentations with other members of the
club. This is an opportunity to enjoy new work taken throughout the summer break and always promises to provide
a great variety of subject matter.
First up was Dave Atkinson with his Audio Visual (Av) presentation
entitled ‘Images of Boats.’ Fishing boats, tugboats, yachts, lifeboats, rowing boats and boat related wall art
were all included in Dave’s jaunty presentation.
Dave Bisset followed with ‘Beamish Odds & Experiments’ where we
enjoyed views at Beamish, images of stained glass patterns, enamel posters, Masonic symbols, and stylised
versions of a 19th century village, using colourisation and pencil sketch applications for effect.
Poppies were the theme of Davy Bolam’s presentation. Poppies were
used as a background, among wild flowers and crops, silhouetted, rim lit and softly and artistically treated. A
panorama of painterly effect trees concluded Davy’s alternative view of a forest.
Jeremy Cooper was next, with a selection of images of milky waterfalls at Crammel Linn,
Larpool viaduct reflections, panoramic views of Whitby, a wartime reconstruction, the North Yorkshire Moors
railway, followed by fungi and insects.
Next was Paul Appleby with images of the Scottish Borders, Melrose Abbey,
rock formations and stone patterns. Lakeland panoramas and the Dales’ limestone crags were followed by colourful
images taken in Sirmione, Lake Garda and concluded with eerie smoke pattern images.
John Barnes’ love of history was evident when he followed on with images of 12th and 13th
century gravestones and stained glass windows in churches which included Cambo, Mitford and Kirkharle before he
concluded with some close up nature shots.
Pat Wood’s presentation portrayed Lemmington Wood’s devastation, visits
to Tranwell Woods, Hartburn Glebe, Bothal Wood, evening reflections on Big Water, River Coquet scenes, birdlife,
rowers and playful body boarders on the Wansbeck.
Following the route of a stylised campervan, Stephanie Robson’s AV took
us to Norfolk, with its colourful beach huts, 1950’s murals, humorous signage and vibrantly coloured wall art
depicting the history of Great Yarmouth.
Next was Peter Downs, with artistic representations of sand, trees and meadows. Multi
exposures of trees and ferns showcased his abstract and minimalistic style. His use of painterly effect came into
play with bowlers at Carlisle Park, giving an almost 50’s retro impression.
Sue Dawson’s three river trip to Germany was her subject for the evening. Bamberg’s Town
Hall forming a bridge, Wurzburg statuary, the Heidelberg Witch Tower, Chagall’s windows in Mainz, castles on
the Moselle, timber clad homes and the Roman cathedral in Trier were included in her images.
The evening concluded with Glyn Trueman, with images on his summer
days out with club members. His images included Dunstanburgh Castle, the College Valley, Hethpool Lake &
waterfall, Lindisfarne, Durham Botanical Gardens and Beamish Museum.
Club Co-Chair Sue Dawson, thanked everyone who took part in the evening with its wide variety of subjects,
after which refreshments were enjoyed.
