Midland Salon Exhibition ChairmanJudith Parry AFIAP DPAGB Hon.PAGB

71st Midland Salon 2020 Update

The Midland Salon is not scheduled to open until August.

We very much doubt that restrictions of public gatherings will be lifted sufficiently to allow for an official opening at Smethwick PS.

Jon Baker will go ahead and produce an AV of the Awards and Acceptances for use when restrictions allow.

We have received a record entry of over 8600 images from 738 photographers, so there is a mammoth judging task ahead of us next weekend.

The judging will be done remotely with each of the three judges working from their own home, using PhotEx software.

If you wish to include this information in the July Newsletter please feel free to do so.

We will provide more information in time for the August edition.

Best wishes

Judith Parry & Roger Parry.

I enjoy working towards distinctions as they give me a goal, which then forces me to produce more images. I have had quite a bit of success in various regional, national and international competitions, but distinctions requiring a panel are a different thing as they require more images and they must also be a cohesive body of work.

The MFIAP is the highest photographic distinction of the International Federation of Photographic Art (FIAP), the first UK recipient was in 1989, and only 25 other UK photographers have gained the award in the following 31 years.

The guidance for the MFIAP states “For the jury what is important is the eye of the photographer, not so much what he looked at. There must be the transmission of a message characterised by the distinguishing mark of its author”, I am fortunate in that whether you like my images or not they are often quite distinctive and recognisable as mine.

You can see my full panel, and read a blog post about it on my website – http://www.timpile.co.uk

MCPF Travelling Portfolio

Some Good News!

Despite the Covid-‐19 restrictions the 2020 MCPF Travelling Portfolio will still be available this year, showing some of the best images from clubs across the Midlands.

However, we have Had to make a few changes though. This year it will be PDI only showing images from Midphot 2020 Exhibition, which unfortunately no one got to see!

The show will be sent direct to each club by We-‐transfer, so there will be no need for clandestine meetings in Car parks across the Midlands to pass over those dark print boxes!

Some of you have already booked the show for 2020/21 season and the file will be sent out to you in good time. For those who have not booked or have wondered what its all about then now’s your chance to book up to see the best images currently on show in the Midlands.

Just complete and return the below booking form along with the payment for a full evenings’ entertainment at the bargain price of just £ 10.00

Also, as there are no prints to move around you can choose the evening that suits you best
