The Zero Footprint project came about when we complete the building our low carbon house in the Galloway hills. Having spent two years designing and building a house with as low a carbon impact as possible we naturally progressed onto the idea of attempting to create a portfolio of photographic images with a similarly low footprint. This evolved into a literal interpretation of the term - hence Zero Footprint - where all the images had to be captured from precisely the same location, outside the french doors at our studio. We are lucky to have an incredible outlook (we have over 180° of view to exploit and allowed ourselves a variety of lenses) but being limited like this does present significant compositional challenges and we quickly found we would have to rely on the extremely variable weather conditions to create something that wouldn't be monotonous for the viewing public.

Exciting change to the syllabus!
With a roll-over Club Draw as well! Prize pot starts at £8, and has to be won to-night.
Congratulations to Sandra McNeil who won last week's consolation prize of a mount pack for a single print.
Please bring your £1s and have a modest flutter; it's a bit of fun at the end of the night and helps club funds. Thank-you and Good Luck.
And to-night's draw (£20) was won by Colin Marr.
