Talks by members

5th March 2025

What a great evening! Nearly all members brought along a short talk which gave us a fantastic range of subjects. These ranged from wildlife (snakes, amphibians and dippers), through local landscapes around Cademuir via more exotic locations (India and Africa) to Photoshopping with drink cans! There were also good examples of use of textures and more abstract techniques.

Many thanks to everyone who provided a talk. These evenings always prove to be really interesting.

We now move on to our next meeting on 19th March. This is a talk on documentary photography. Details are below.

NOTE: In our first meeting in April, we will be having another members’ evening where we’ll ask people to provide their own examples of documentary photography so pay attention!

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.

End of the rainbow by Brian Henry

The Story Behind The Photo


 On a visit to the Inverness area, we had a picnic lunch one day on the shore of Cromarty Bay.  We were looking across the Cromarty Firth and could see a few oil rigs laid up or being serviced.  A passing shower did not chase us away but when it moved across the water it gave us a complete rainbow.  A long lens shot of the rigs captured the rainbow end landing on the rigs.
