This month’s display on the club’s screen at the GH Edwards shop in Conwy High Street features work by Derek Phillips, a sequence of ‘People’ images, photos of local events and more results from the club’s ‘Summer Along the Coast’ archive project. You can also view the sequence below.
Derek joined Conwy Camera Club almost four years ago and has found it friendly and supportive, while helping him to develop his photographic skills. His images for the sequence on the screen reflect his varied photographic interests, including creative, landscape and portraiture.
The images in the ‘Creative’ sequence are by various mambers and are drawn from the entries for this year’s Lionel Bloodworth Creative Challenge, held annually in memory of a past club member who set up the club’s Creative Special Interest Group. The images cover a wide range of creative approaches and include the winning image of this year’s challenge, ‘Welcome to the Darkside’ by Robert Prenton Jones.
Club members were busy in June photographing Conwy Pirates Weekend – including shop and hospitality staff who had dressed up for the occasion – and with the celebrations of the bicentenary of Conwy Suspension Bridge. The shop screen presents some of the images.
This month’s ‘Then and Now’ photos show Penmaenmawr seafront in 1898 and in 2024, and Penrhyn Bay seafront when it had tram tracks before the 1950s and as it is now, with a cycle and foot path alongside the road.
