Have you given up trying to win first place? Here are some ideas for things you should try:-

Take picture of a table full of decorated cupcakes.

Get the Mayor and the MP to pose by a stall selling meat pies.

Take a picture of a man dangling two mice by their tails.

Take a picture of a plate with three large blue eggs.

Walk into the middle of an arena with a man in bowler hat and a girl with the biggest horse you have ever seen.

Photograph a boy band being watched by thousands (well, tens) of screaming (o.k. just watching) girl fans.

Get access to all the marquees while the judging takes place and the public are excluded.

Take pictures of someone presenting cups to 500 winners of vegetable prizes. (oops, didn’t mean to tell you that one)

With luck, see some of your pictures on the show website and in next year’s show brochure.

Yes, it is nearly  POYNTON SHOW  TIME AGAIN.    Saturday 23rd  August 2014

 Poynton Show is an excellent country show. Think the Cheshire Show but on a smaller scale.

As you will know, we have our own stand and are the official photographers for the show. We usually manage to turn out about 6-8 people to take photos of the event and man our stand (the more the better). Please reply to this if you can help and haven’t already spoken to me. No experience needed. (It is a great learning opportunity.)

You will of course have time to take some photos for yourself.

If you could help us man the stand or would like to take photos from a different (more professional?) angle, get in touch with Richard Scaife (01625 878269). We always need more people, even if you can only do part of the day.

It is really a great day out!
