Our aim: to help each other take better pictures and to get to grips with digital photography.
We meet at 2pm on Wednesdays at Burpham Village Hall (except where specified). We invite members to submit photos on any subject (good and not-so-good) to our Gallery for expert advice and comment at the monthly meetings. We occasionally have a set-subject assignment as well. There are short presentations by members on various subjects and practical bring-your-camera-and-try-it-yourself workshops. Friendly advice on photographic queries and problems is always available.
We aim to stick to the programme below, but occasionally, we may need to make minor changes. Photo shoots are always confirmed by email the day before the event.

Summer 2010 |
In addition to your usual photos, we have a set-subject assignment for the summer! Please take pictures to convey "Texture" and upload both them and your usual ones to the Gallery prior to the October meeting - up to 2 photos in each category. You may also like to be thinking ahead to (and photographing) the season's future subjects: "Against the Light" (December) and "Patterns" (March). |
