So much hard work involved in mounting an exhibition! But I think it was worth it... The exhibition, entitled "Yorkshire - God's Own County" was part of this year's Saltaire Arts Trail. We showed about 100 photographs (of Yorkshire of course) and an AV sequence, all taken by members of St Peter's Church Photography Group, of which I'm a member. The church is a lovely space to show an exhibition like that, and I was really delighted with the way it looked. We had a steady stream of visitors throughout the three days, even though the church is uphill out of Saltaire and thus a bit of a walk. We received some very encouraging comments, especially pleasing since most of us have not exhibited our photos before. We range from beginners with fairly basic compact cameras to more experienced DSLR users but none of us think of ourselves as 'pros'. It's amazing how good an image can look when enlarged, well-printed and nicely mounted. Well done everybody!
Just leave it a week or two before you suggest to me that we do another exhibition though.....!
A wonderful place for an exhibition.
ReplyDeleteGreat place for an exhibition. We both posted on churches today. :-)
ReplyDeleteI would love to have been there! You know I adore Yorkshire (and English churches.) I would love to know which photos you chose to exhibit!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place to have the exhibition! I'm so glad everything went well.
ReplyDeleteGreat! Such an exhibition gives more value to your photographic work, and is at the same time a kind of reward for all of you. And the place was perfect for pictures!
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful spot for a photography exhibition, and your pictures show that a lot of work was put into it. Another line on your resume!
ReplyDeleteWell done. It is very rewarding seeing your photos hung in a public place
ReplyDeleteA beautiful spot for your display and looks as if your display units worked very well.
ReplyDeleteRe your comments about noise in the workplace - I am not sure - the wood may have absorbed some sounds but the floor and desks were hard surfaces.
A wonderful venue for an exhibition - lots of lovely light and I can imagine there would have been a wealth of beautiful exhibits! I would love to have seen it.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your show, Jenny. And the setting! What a magnificent church! I, too, am a former senior warden, but our little country church is much smaller and "carpenter" Gothic. Jim
ReplyDeleteAll very nice, two excellent photos, but so frustrating not to be able to be there to enjoy your club photos in the flesh.
ReplyDeleteI ditto Michael & Hanne's comment ;) Would have loved to have had a close look at what you personally exhibited ;)
ReplyDeleteSuch a magnificent setting!
Kudos to you and your photography group.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Jenny, that is so exciting! ~Lili
