Challenge #22: Split toning
The latest Challenge, ‘Challenge #22: Split toning’, is available here.
Split toning can achieve a wide variety of looks. As well as creating atmospheric landscape images, or enhancing portraits, you can also get really creative with it, choosing hues judiciously to achieve strong, artistic images with minimal time and effort spent. Whether you are already familiar with the technique or a novice, we hope there’s something for everyone.
We’ll look forward to seeing up to five of your splendid split-toned images by the deadline of Wednesday 30 September.
Stewart Wall: Street Photography
Zoom meeting.
Stewart Wall is a professional photographer, educator and author with nearly 50 years experience. He pursued academic studies and obtained both a degree and an MA. His academic pursuits led him to develop a keen interest in sociology, which he now employs in conjunction with photography to explore and investigate various aspects of social life, social change, and the underlying societal factors influencing human behaviour.
Visitors are welcome to attend tonight’s talk. See additional information for details.
A single item
Rather than groups of odd numbers – which we know are better than even numbers – this week we’re focusing on one of something. Perhaps one person in a street, one train in an empty station or a single road sign. Show the item alone in its surroundings.

Mark Sisson: By River and Sea
Zoom meeting.
Mark is a wildlife photographer based in the small market-town of Newport in the beautiful county of Shropshire.
His work is regularly published in an array of books and journals such as BBC Wildlife, Natures Home, The Shropshire Magazine and Wild Planet Photo Magazine among many others. He have long-standing contracts with the RSPB’s Image Library and FLPA for stock image sales as well.
Mark says, ‘The natural world has always been among my greatest interests and passions and I purchased my first camera at the age of 15 after washing a great many cars! To be able to finally turn these hobbies, interests, and a second-income source as they progressed, into the full-time work it has provided me for over 20 years now, was a dream realised.’
You can find further information about Mark and his photography on his website

Raindrops
At this time of year we must be able to find raindrops on the ground, on plants or car paintwork or you could shoot through windows coated in patterns of raindrops.
MIG: The sands of time
In-person
In photography, “Sands of Time” becomes a visual metaphor — a way of expressing how moments erode, fade, or slip away: impermanence, decay, emotional residue, and the quiet tension between what remains and what vanishes.
We look forward to your creative monochrome images expressing this mood… submissions by 3 November please.
See additional information on ideas for subjects and ideas.
The numbers 1-5
You should aim to upload a set of images which feature, for example, 1 seat, 2 trees, 3 wise men, 4 Christmas shoppers and 5 fairy lights. The actual subjects are, of course, your choice.

Malcolm Hupman: Where I photograph British Wildlife
In-person meeting.
Malcolm is an enthusiastic photographer based in Corby, Northamptonshire, and his passion for photography began in 1976. Over the years, he has developed a deep appreciation for the art and continue to pursue it with dedication.
This evening he presents his most popular talk which shows a broad range of wildlife subjects and where they might be found. It is suitable for both experienced and novice photographers. For those new to wildlife photography, location, time of year and the weather will all influence what you are likely to see. So, as well as the location, equipment and settings, the date taken is recorded on each image.
Duncan McEvoy: Post Soviet Trains
In-person meeting.
Join us this evening for a trip down memory lane. Local photographer Duncan McEvoy is our speaker this evening. Duncan began photography in the mid 1980s as soon as paperboy finances allowed. Always fascinated by older scenes, he found that practices which had been abandoned in the UK were still part of everyday life abroad. An obsession with the Steam Locomotive enveloped. Inevitably photography took a backseat over twelve years whilst bringing up a family… and then Steam had died. But for Duncan, rebirth, rediscovery, film moves on to digital. Latterly active in Ukraine then Russia, and still looking East.
John Gill: Street photography in monochrome
In-person meeting.
Join us this evening as we again welcome photographer John Gill. John lives in Yorkshire in the UK in a former coal mining area. He has always photographed people, originally on 35mm and 120 roll film but almost always digitally now.
His Book “After the Coal Dust” photography project documented life in these areas and has been the subject of several exhibitions in the UK.
Imogen Holmes-Roe (Curator (Historic Fine Art) at the Whitworth Gallery ) says of John’s photographs,
‘Unapologetically honest, and in some cases tinged with humour, this collection of photographs documents another important chapter in the story of Britain’s post-industrial heritage.’
Annual Open Lecture: Joe Cornish, ‘Any Given Day- A landscape photographer’s story’
In-person meeting.
