Table-top Photography

18th October 2024

Last night we had an evening of table-top photography.

There were 12 different set-ups with assorted backdrops, reflectors and portable lights. which allowed members to try different approaches to lighting and composition. It was good to see that people were taking images both with cameras and with smart phones.

Our next meeting is on the 6th November and is our first competition of the year. The judge will be Dave Ferguson from Falkirk CC. Whether you’ve entered images or not, it’s always good to hear the judge’s suggestions of what can be improved in an image.

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.

Wood Pigeon by Kevin Lomax

The Story Behind The Photo

Wood pigeons are so common these days that we tend to ignore or even dislike them. When you look closely, though, the feather detail and colouring is beautiful.
