"BEYOND GROUP" IN THE FINAL

"Oedipus" by Rusty awarded maximum points (15) by the 3 judges.
The photo group that I am a member of, the "Beyond Group" was representing the EAF in the PAGB Print Championships at Conahs Quays on Saturday, this was the 4th year running that the group has done this, and again for the 4th year running the group got into the finals. In the end finishing in 6th place out of 34 clubs from all over Great Britain, putting the "Beyond Group" in the top 8 clubs in Great Britain for 4 years running, not a bad record, congratulations to all the members.

RUSTY GAINS HIS FBPE

"Banksy's Dog Trap" by Rusty one of the award winning images.
Just heard on the grape vine that I have picked up a couple of awards at the Bromsgrove National Exhibition, all I needed was one more award to gain my FBPE. This means now I am a FBPE, so I join Barbie at the top..Horray..!

Barbie and I did lectures and workshops for the Yorkshire Photographic Union over the weekend at Losehill Hall in Derbyshire, seemed to be a great success. Barbie also got used as a model during one of the photo sessions.

IMAGES USED WITHOUT PERMISSION

"Bondage Bunny" by Rusty Lindsay

I have noticed several of my images are being used on the internet without my permission, I suppose this is one of the hazards of putting your images on them web, I don't mind people using my images for non-commercial purposes as long as they accredit the photo to me. Normally this happens, but what does annoy me however is when my images are used commercially without my permission or given any recognition at all. I don't really want to put copyright all over my pictures or stop people downloading them. The photo above "BONDAGE BUNNY" is one of my most used images with and without permission.

SHREWSBURY OPEN EXHIBITION 2009

I was one of the three judges at the Shrewsbury National Photographic Exhibition (BPE) on Saturday, Barbie was also one of the judges and Ralph Duckett from Cannock was the other. We had over 2500 projected images to go through and score to finish up with the final exhibition and awards, it was a long but enjoyable day.
