Mobile Phone and Table-top Photography
…at Peebles Camera Club!
Our new season has now started and it has been good to see so many new faces.
What a great evening we had last night! Professional photographer, Kenny Martin’s talk on mobile phone photography was inspiring and thought-provoking. He showed what can be achieved with a mobile phone – not just the photography but the ability to create and publish photo books.
The next step is to see if we can all put what we learned into practice. We have a members evening on 20th November dedicated to our efforts at smart phone photography. So, get out there and see what you can capture!
Next up on 16th October is an evening of table-top photography. We’ll provide some props and lighting but it would be great if everyone can bring something that they think people might want to photograph. And, of course, this is an evening where smart phones will work just as well as conventional cameras!
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.
