First Competition of the Season

Our next meeting is the first competition of the season, judged by Cameron Scott. Whether you’ve entered or not, this is a great chance to learn how you can improve your images.

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.

Photo of the Month

Pan American Highway by Roger Singer

The Story Behind The Photo

A photo of the Pan American Highway taken in Santa Fe de Antioquia, Colombia. One road of two lanes in this part of the world, but carrying freight all the way from the Northernmost part of Colombia to Buenos Aires in Argentina. Notice the motorbike passengers who wouldn’t exactly be conforming to regulation in the UK! This is a classic 28mm shot with a defined foreground, midground main subject and background. Extraordinarily harsh lighting conditions were a challenge. Shot using a mirrorless Sony Alpha 7 and an adapted 50 year old Pentax-M 28mm lens on manual settings.
