Talk by Neil MacGregor
5th February 2025
It’s great to have the chance to hear speakers from further afield whom we can’t afford to bring to Peebles. In our second Zoom talk of the winter, Neil MacGregor of Milngavie and Bearsden Camera Club presented a wide ranging set of images covering his photographic journey from film days up to the present.
Like a number of our camera club members, Neil has a background in mountain walking, climbing and winter climbing with some excellent images. He then moved on to his wildlife shots with some great tips on locations to visit.
All round, it was a very enjoyable talk. PCC have made a donation to the Scottish Mountain Rescue organisation as a thank-you to Neil.
We now move on to our next meeting on 19th February. This is a competition evening and we will be back in the Drill Hall. Details are below.
Who are we?
We’re a friendly group of people who enjoy taking photographs and getting together in a relaxed informal environment.
What do we do?
Each season we offer smartphone and camera users alike a programme of expert talks, practical sessions, talks by members, and for those interested the opportunity to take part in competitions.
Why do we do it?
We just love taking photos whether of something beautiful in the natural world, special moments with family and friends, memorable scenery, or anything that appeals to us. Being a club member helps us learn how to make our photos the best they can be through greater technical knowledge and developing a creative eye.
Why should I join?
The club’s varied programme aims to inspire, educate and inform and is for everyone who has ever looked at a photo they have taken and wished that it had turned out better.
The club also has privileged access to the best spots to take photos of community events like the Beltane and weekly sports fixtures.
Is it expensive to join?
We don’t think so! The cost of £3.00 per session is less than the cost of a coffee in a high-street cafe and includes tea/coffee and biscuits! We charge a single fee to cover all the season’s meetings at the start of the season.
Do I need an expensive camera?
Definitely not. Club activities are enjoyable and relevant whether you use a smartphone for all your photography (which is now most people) or are an enthusiastic user of the latest camera technology.
