ALAN PRICE
I am sad to report that Alan Price has died (aged 79). He was a renowned wildlife
and nature photographer living in Criccieth and winner of numerous National
and International Awards, including a First Place in an International Garden
Photographer of the Year.
He was a very enthusiastic lecturer at local clubs and also ran practical demonstrations.
He was very generous with his time and would help
anyone who asked. He was a great exponent for the idea that you don’t need
lots of expensive kit to take great photos. He will be sorely missed.

THE PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEO SHOW Will be at the NEC, Birmingham 14-17 March
WELSH SALON 2026 - ADVANCE INFORMATION
Last year 98 photographers from 27 clubs entered 760 images! 390 Images from 88 Photographers received Acceptances! While delighted with these results, WPF resources were stretched to the very limit. This necessitated a strict review if we were to be able continue in 2026. Accordingly we have streamlined and simplified the Salon while retaining and expanding the number of Sections. We regret that this year again our resources are fully stretched to the extent that we are unable to handle public participation during the selection, neither are we able to extend entry invitations beyond the WPF Membership. The sheer weight of materials in the form of boxes, prints and frames has been an ongoing concern. This year, in line with many other Salons, we will dispense with the frames themselves.
