President's Piece Longer evening light, warmer weather, all makes us believe that we can take better pictures????? The Slide Championship held in the North of the region was held at NEWDIGs meeting place, successfully run and I hope we can continue to get support for the next few years. Most Clubs close for the summer recess, is your club arranging a Summer programme? This is the time to socialise and get out and about with your own club on those evening strolls, perhaps a boat trip to the Isle of Wight, something that my own Club of Highcliffe and Infinity are doing. How about a day trip to Guernsey, £20 return for a day - can’t be bad. If you don’t live near the sea then how about a Steam Train happening? It only needs someone with an idea and some peruasion to organise a successful photo day. And if you cannot afford the trip to Afirca to go on safari, then Marwell is an option perhaps??? More seriously, the Southern Federation is hosting the PAGB annual Slide Competition this year and to make it a special one, we are looking for your best slides. As I am the organising Officer for this prestigious event, your help in the form of that super slide can be sent to me for assessment, not forgetting that the accepted images will travel around the Federations. The slides will of course be copied so you will get back your own work shortly after the judging in October. This brings me to the end of my first year in office as President, an enjoyable and sometimes stressful time, visiting lots of Clubs and met lots of new faces and if I am re-elected then I will carry out my next year in office with more knowledge behind me and the hope thatb there will be a great Council backing me.- and my final words must be - Please can you look for new persons to sit on the Council, it’s fun and offers good experience in the running of Clubs. Ian Bigg - President |

Editors Notes Here we are again at almost the midpoint of the year, having weathered all of the rain, snow and hail that the winter months have thrown at us. Ready now to do battle with the weather that is about to descend upon us - rain, snow and hail! No, hopefully we shall have another good summer enabling some great opportunities for some great shots. Not to say that there were not some wonderful images obtained throughout the winter months, but the warmer weather does sort of encourage you out of the house to take some photographs. During recent weeks I have had the opportunity to see and evaluate an image viewing and scoring programme that has been produced by a member of Horndean Camera Club. It is an update to a system that he has provided to clubs for many years, yet it would seem not to many know of the adjustments that have been made. I was very impressed with the fact that it was reasonably easy to install (especially if you read the instructions). Having installed the main programme there are a couple of add-ons to be installed, then you are off. Having entered the images, authors, title and section it was then time to view the images and score them. I made the mistake of entering a batch of images and having some as Novice and some as Advanced workers but scoring them all together, whereas in fact, they would have been imported and organised as different section from the start. This seems to be a system to consider if you are going along the Digital Competition road at a really competitive price |

Exhibition “face2face” Chris Hutchinson of Yateley Camera Club has agreed with Guildford House Gallery, 155 High Street, Guildford, to stage an exhibition this summer of a small number of his photographs of the human face. “I am not sure that these should be called “portraits” since they include images of man-made faces, faces found in nature and those of people who have not so much painted their faces, as transformed them”. At the same time the gallery will hold an exhibition by Telemach Weisinger, a photographer from Guildford’s twin town of Freiburg in Germany. |

IS YOUR CLUB UP TO SPEED? Clubs have gone through the experience of old technology film being replaced by the modern technology of digital, but how many are honestly up to speed on use of e-mails and of web sites? So, here are some points for clubs to consider. Most forms that clubs claim not to have received, either by post or via their own representative, are bound to be available on line via the SPF web site. Some of these are essential, for example the Public Liability Insurance form OR changes to the 2008 Exhibition rules. Fail to meet the deadline, and your club is not insured until it has been processed; ignorance of the new Exhibition rules will be no excuse. Why rely on the old technology of letters? You now have three means of finding out what you should be kept up-to-date with. Who is to blame? Please ensure that all information is correct and up-date, and that details passed to both the Handbook Secretary AND SPF Council Secretary as soon as possible after any changes. Check – who should be responsible for doing this? Remember – the Handbook is probably out-of-date before it is even printed, regardless of any false information handed in by clubs! Then, we feel confident, you can feel assured that YOUR CLUB IS UP TO SPEED. REMEMBER - www.southphotographicfed.org.uk David Kessel Feb. ‘07 |

NEWDIG Due to a lack in communication we found ourselves in a competition that was very new to us. This was Digital Audio Visual Sequences of a maximum of 5 minutes duration. With 4 Sequences each (different Authors) from the 3 Clubs. Seeing we only had a months notice as to the format and nobody had ever done anything like this before it was a very sharp learning curve. We accepted due to learning that this is the way many of the cross regional friendly competitions that we are involved in are going. Armed with our 4 Disks and a posse of members who were interested to see what the opposition had to offer. Marlow Camera club, the hosts had hired a larger venue due to them expecting, and getting a very large audience. So much is the interest it was a full house infact more than attended the recent D.P.C. at Newbury, and only 3 clubs not 18. The Judge was Mr Ian Bateman FRPS etc, etc. who turns out to be one of the top producers of DAVS winning many awards Internationally and British. The scoring was out of 20 with 10 being given for the Photographic Content and the other for the Sound Track and its Synchronisation and Suitability to the subject. The Judge used the sequences more as a Lecture and was very informative and I must say very constructive. It was agreed by all that it was one of the best judging experiences we have ever attended. It is needless to say that we came a very distant 3rd. Our 2nd venture was for sequences of 3 min and again 4 entries from this time 4 clubs. It was to be a 3 Way but due to our popularity and inexperience we were invited. We did have a little more time to prepare plus we were more aware as to what was required. The judge once again used the same method to award marks, although his comments were not so in depth as previously, more due to the time available, but all the same very constructive. Yes we came last but it was a very close call. Ernie Fullbrook. BEM, APAGB

PicShowE - a locally developed PC program for use with digital images Maurice Hammon, a member of the Horndean Camera Club, developed a PC program (PicShow) some time ago to help manage a competitive slideshow using a digital projector. This is being used by a number of clubs, including his own, and has proved very successful. Now a new version is available – called PicShowE – that extends the programs facilities and is designed to meet the needs of the newer digital projectors now being supplied offering, for example, SXGA (1280x1024) as well as XGA (0124x768); in addition the restrictive Jpg-only has been removed. The accompanying program PicShowRE is also upgraded – this is given to club members to help them construct image files compatible with the digital projector. Principle points are: Interested?

THE SOUTHERN PHOTOGRAPHIC FEDERATION PHOTOGRAPHY & THE LAW A number of concerns were brought to the attention of SPF Council in 2006 about how present laws, and also concerns over the public issue of paedophilia and photography, affected the public’s freedom to take photographs. Council considered the hearsay accounts offered and it was decided to seek advice from Hampshire Constabulary, plus clarification from NSPCC on its support of the establishment of Child Protection Officers for sports teams. As Publicity Secretary, I, David Kessel undertook the task. NSPCC’s reply stated that “It is not illegal to take images of children in this manner” (i.e. CPSU guidelines). It also added that “it is important to keep a sense of perspective of the risks at this type of event”. Inspector Kevin Baxman was appointed to liaise with SPF Council. He kindly gave up his time to come to a meeting and discuss the whole issue, and then prepared the following joint report. We thank Inspector Baxman and Hampshire Constabulary for their kindness, help and guidance. We feel sure that the following document may be of value more widely than just to SPF members. A Joint Report on Discussions with Hampshire Constabulary ISSUES DISCUSSED 1. The Law & A Photographer’s Rights in a Public Place 2. Points to Guard Against When Photographing in a Public Place 3. Child Protection Officers & Photographers – their rights & ours in a public environment 4. Seeking/Gaining Permission to Take a Photo including children 5. How To Deal With Aggressive Opposition 6. How To Act If Arrested 7. Calming fears of The Public, Parents etc in a Public Place ID Card It may have a small ID photo; IN CONCLUSION We recognise that individuals may wish to take more personal stances on certain issues, which is their right, but the report is an agreed document intending to give advice which is as clear, practical and legally sound as possible at the present, helping members steer a safer route through today’s sometimes extreme reactions to & fears of the issue of paedophilia. As in most aspects of life, it will help to use Common Sense at all times. Report written jointly by Inspector Kevin Baxman, Hampshire Constabulary and David Kessel, BA, LRPS, Publicity Sec. SPF Child Protection and Photography in Sport I have read the SPF minutes from December 2006, and was disappointed to miss the meeting because I have a particular interest in the child protection issues raised. Sorry that this comment is somewhat lengthy. It seems that there is some consternation among photographers, but not a wide understanding of the issues at hand. There are plenty of ambiguous or double-standards concerning which images of children are acceptable and which are not, especially in the media. However, I wish to constrain my thoughts to sports photography, since that is the minuted discussion. Firstly I am interested in whether photographers are upset at being challenged, or genuinely objecting to the photography of children being currently sensitive? I suspect the former. Yes, it is distressing for all concerned, so I would urge us as photographers to be more aware and to avoid being challenged in the first place. I am both a working photographer (I’m on the SPF judges A list) AND a qualified cricket coach working with young people aged 9-17. I am also our cricket club’s appointed Child Welfare Officer (CWO). So I have perhaps a unique view of both sides of the dilemma. It is accepted, and borne out by case facts, that sports clubs for young people have long provided easy access for the tiny minority of adults whose intentions towards children are inappropriate. To be a “Clubmark” accredited organisation, we have to demonstrate that we have taken all reasonable steps to ensure the safety and welfare of our young players, which includes complying with a policy on photography. With or without accreditation this is a legal requirement, and in order to run youth cricket we MUST appoint a CWO. CWOs and coaches are appointed by their clubs, have to be CRB cleared and are trained by the England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB). I understand that the situation is similar in most sports. It is worth noting, though, that few CWOs will understand photography as we understand it. Only a minority of clubs and schools enforces a ban on photography. Most prefer to issue guidelines for reasons of enforceability - it is increasingly difficult to be sure what is or is not a camera – and recognition of the value of photographs to the vast majority of well-meaning parents and other adults. The ECB has issued guidelines to clubs for the use of photography. To my knowledge, unlike in France, there is nothing in law that prevents us taking pictures of anyone, children or adults, in a public place. However, in my view, to use this defence would not respect common decency. Despite the lack of specific privacy laws, some people would prefer not to have their photographs taken, and some are going to further lengths to prevent the unauthorised use of their own image, using the Data Protection Act and the European Court of Human Rights, for example. If a sports ground is privately owned, then local policies must be observed. I’m sorry to take issue with the SPF meeting’s advice to write to the local MP, but I think that it is naïve and is likely to deepen the rift of suspicion of photographers rather than healing it. We should be forging working relationships with local sports clubs; I would positively encourage an enthusiast photographer to come to us in an official capacity. We require parents to give permission for their children to be photographed by club officials, other parents and official photographers. As there is no guarantee that the other team will have done so, we cannot say that we would always grant permission. My advice to photographers is simple. As per sports’ guidelines, it does not and should not involve avoidance of photographing children, but does involve covering ourselves against any potential allegations: 1. We may be amateurs, but we should act as professionals would, carrying a business or identity card, perhaps from the RPS or our club, and leaving contact details with the sports club or event organiser. 2. We should get our own CRB clearance. 3. We should make ourselves known to the organiser or parent and seek permission to photograph BEFORE producing our cameras. Phoning in advance enables clubs to inform parents. If photographing children in any context we should work openly, with a parent as a chaperone. 4. We have to make our intentions clear and gain trust: provide a few examples of work, then nobody can doubt our integrity and the act of asking permission is less likely to be misconstrued. 5. We should offer to come back to the club with some small prints for sale - my young players love seeing pictures of themselves playing, especially good photos that make them look as good as Andrew Flintoff! 6. We must treat refusals with respect and good grace: sports clubs have legal responsibilities to protect the welfare of young people, and they are following well-intentioned guidelines. ***Note that it has always been good practice to obtain a model release if we intend to publish images of identifiable people, and publishing can mean exhibiting and showing in clubs. If we do this for both adult and youth sport events, then it is a matter of professionalism in photography, not child protection ... I would add finally that I do not like the current social climate in the least, and it adds considerably to my workload as a cricket coach; If only we could be more free ... However I have to understand it as I am in a position of professional responsibility for my young players. As a coach I have to follow a professional code of conduct that places me above suspicion; as a photographer it is my responsibility to do the same - PLACE MYSELF ABOVE SUSPICION. Note: This is written purely from my own personal understanding and perspective, and is neither guaranteed for accuracy nor intended to be definitive. My information sources include: |

OBITUARY It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Thomas James (Jim) Mansfield, ARPS. Jim died at Southampton General Hospital on Monday 19th March aged 79, after a deterioration in his health. Jim had been a cartographer at Ordnance Survey for many years, and had been a member of their Photographic Club where he had started to make a name for himself as a photographer. A former colleague still recalls his quiet, friendly and helpful nature, and his passionate love of photography. Jim and his wife Janice had also used their photographic skills to take wedding photographs and had, over forty years, built a good reputation for their high standard of work, often covering the marriages of the offspring of previous clients. Jim ha He was a pillar of strength and knowledge in the club. He made things happen, took the helm, steadied the ship in difficult moments. Always able to give sound advice for the club’s day-to-day running or for its future development; he also carefully archived and protected work from the club’s past, and evidence of Southampton’s history. Southampton Camera Club and The Southern Federation owe much to him. The archive he worked so hard at helping to preserve will prove invaluable not only to the club but also to the City of Southampton. These images from the past recall some wonderful photographers from the early days and some important images of Southampton. The Southern Photographic Federation recognised his contribution to photography in general and to Southampton Camera Club in particular in 2004 when his name was entered on its Roll of Honour. Jim was an inspirational figure at SCC often being the first to greet newcomers and would give freely of his time to encourage, train or offer advice, always happy to share his vast photographic experience and skills. Often he would invite new members, just starting out in darkroom work, into his home darkroom and help develop their printing skills. We will miss Jim’s reassuring presence at Southampton. Having been at the forefront of 20th. Century developments in photography, working with some very memorable names. He later embraced the digital era, and succeeded in this new medium even though he had limited IT computer skills at the time. Jim was never more happy than when experimenting with new techniques and styles, often producing memorable photographs that live on in the mind. Jim was a life member of the RPS, joined the newly created RPS Southern Digital group and was a founding member of Chimera, where he produced a seemingly unending supply of high quality prints. Jim’s photographs were always full of creativity , natural patterns and bold abstracted colours. The family held a cremation service at Southampton Crematorium on April 2nd, followed by a Memorial Service at St. Johns Church, Marchwood, with refreshments afterwards at the nearby village hall. Many friends and fellow photographers attended to show their respects to a man so well known and so well liked. Our sympathies go to Janice, who was his constant companion over many years, as a wife and also a keen and competent photographer, and to all members of his closely-knit family:- his daughter Claire, his son Richard, Niall (son-in-law), Fred (daughter-in-law) and Dayna, his granddaughter. A quiet and calm gentleman you could always rely upon to help solve problems. The most caring and loyal friend any man could ever wish for, Jim will be sorely missed by his family, many friends, ex- colleagues and the wider photographic community. David Kessel, BA, LRPS, member of SCC, The RPS & The SPF Council |

INTER CLUB DIGITAL PROJECTION CHALLENGE. After many setbacks and other initial problems in the very early days, it all came together. Thankfully the pleading by some had the desired effect. FINAL SCORES AND PLACINGS 1 - Farnborough.C.C. - 225 My own views and some statistics. Ernie Fullbrook. BEM, APAGB A couple more Photographer jokes to finish off. A friend of mine works in a camera store. The other day a very confused looking woman approached the counter and handed my friend a camera. She said “I took pictures, but I forgot to have film in the camera. Can you please get them out of the camera for me?” I hope that you enjoyed these, perhaps more next time. |

Southern Photographic Federation - Council email addresses Over recent weeks I have noticed that many emails to Council members have been wrongly addressed. The current addresses have been in force for over a year now, but some of you must still have old ones in your address book. President - Ian Bigg - president Anything else will be delivered to the SPF server and will get picked up eventually and possibly forwarded to the right person, but if you address it correctly to start with, there will be no delay. Thanking you in advance for your assistance in trying to improve communication between Council and Clubs. There are still a few Clubs who do not have an email contact, if your Club has not informed us of a contact and you have one, it would be appreciated to enable the Council to contact you in that way, thereby saving postage. Trevor - News Editor and Webmaster. |

Web Statistics During the past three months we have averaged over 16000 hits on the website with over 250 Mb of downloads, pages etc per month during that period. Most visitors come to the site between the hours of 10am and 11pm. Though another surprise is that we also got hits betwen 1am and 5am, must be insomniacs! As you would expect, the majority of the hits came from the UK with a 100 from the USA. There were also some Saudi Arabia, France, South Korea, Ukraine, Poland, Australia, China and several other places - worldwide fame. One interesting batch of visitors came from Israel. The most used page is the index page but after that comes the Latest News, League Results, Exposure Index, Member Clubs The majority of entry pages are from bookmarks or direct entry other links from search engines are mostly from Google with a few from MSN and Yahoo. I hope to include more staistics in the next issue, so get your members using the site even more to increase the site numbers. |

d been a stalwart member of The Southampton Camera Club since 1951, where he had been President 1981-3, a long-term trustee, but had also served for many years on both the Club and International Exhibition Committees, as well as being Programme Secretary for a massive 17 years.
