Hampstead Photographic Society

Hampstead Photographic Society Established in 1937, the Hampstead Photographic Society is Northwest London's premier photographic club. Our season runs from September to June.

Meetings on Tuesdays from September to June: talks, competitions and instructional evenings as well as member events and outings. Our Programme

The core of our programme is a series of talks by outside speakers, covering diverse topics such as photojournalism, the art of photography, urban/street photography, and travel photography. We also hold regular competitions, judged by external specialist

s. These give members a chance to show their work, and have it assessed. Several HPS members are highly expert in digital photography, and we hold regular talks on digital techniques using our own digital projector. Finally, we also hold informal Members’ evenings where members can exchange ideas and obtain advice. Joining The Society

At the HPS you can improve your photography, and have fun at the same time! Attend our varied meetings, in a lively and friendly atmosphere. Share advice with other members, via our Yahoogroup email list

Turban Legend!

Charanjit Singh's talk was fun, an interesting guy telling us about the story behind turban wearing. Religion and social status being key factors.

Then demos of how it's done, with Gwyneth Macaulay and myself as models!

The visit came as a result of Kate seeing his show at the Chelsea Arts Club, just basic portraits of a few different people in turbans ...

Not deeply photographic, but Charanjit gave us an insight into his culture ...

Anyone got more pix? Show us!!

World Naked Bike Ride, Sunday

Well, we only saw one group of WNBR riders at Trafalgar Square, but it was entertaining, although it was over fast, after we hung around for a couple of hours before retreating to the Waterstone's cafe.

We then caught a 24 bus and ended up in the newly refurbished Fleet Tavern at South End Green, which was excellent, if a bit pricy, although the beer was cheaper than some pubs in the area!

I only snapped wildly with my phone, so not much to see here, move on!!

Exhibition Road Walkabout Sunday

A bit chaotic, but we did meet up eventually, and it was dry, even sunny, with lots going on at the festival, although very busy!

But interesting to see more parts of London for the first time!!

LITTLE VENICE WALKABOUT

Sunday's Walkabout was good, but only my friend Lydia turned up, although Chris joined us at the end! And we didn't see anyone else from HPS visiting the colourful event!

We just took a gentle walk to a cafe in Little Venice where my friend and I shared a full breakfast, watching the world and kids wander by! With a few random snaps here and there.

Then we did a bit more walking to another cafe for an ice cream, and finally a pub for a beer with Chris, who turned up at the end!

TBH we didn't see much of the Canal Cavalcade!! At ground level walking past dozens of moored barges, it was hard to see the various manoeuvres being described over a tannoy system. But the barges were colourful, and one or two had people to chat to or photograph.

A few snaps here, surprisingly the weather was great, a fair bit of sunshine and no rain (null points for the forecasters, again!).

A nice relaxing Walkabout for me at least!
