About

Since those early beginnings the club has seen many changes in photography from medium format & 35mm mechanical film cameras that produced prints in a dark room with chemicals, to the all electronic cameras with a small SD card we have now, producing prints from a printer.

Over the years club has gone from strength to strength, with an ever growing membership. We pride ourselves on being a friendly club helping each other to improve our photography. Whatever level you are or what type of photography interests you, we have a wide range of knowledge within the club.

Subjects covered are Landscape, Portrait (we have our own studio lights & backdrop), Architecture & Record, Macro or Natural History. Also we delve into post production of images using Adobe Photoshop & Lightroom.

The programme of activities includes Guest Speakers, who give talks on a variety of subjects, outings to places of interest, practical evenings as well as Club and inter-club competitions.

The club is operated by an Executive Committee which is supported by an Organising Committee. The Executive Committee comprises of:- Chairman, Paul Cartwright – Secretary, Julie Ellis – Treasurer and Vice Chairman, Andrew. Members of the Executive Committee can be contacted by the the links.

New members are made very welcome and we offer you the opportunity to come and meet us and share in club activities for 4 weeks free. This allows you to gain an insight into what we do and to get to know us & after which you can join the club, We charge an annual subscription which is currently £50 per year (new members are charged pro-rata), also there is a nominal weekly charge of £1 which covers refreshments and is only paid when you attend a meeting.

Therefore if you’re Interested in developing your photography? Why not come along and join us remember the first 4 weeks are free so you have nothing to lose but plenty to gain.

Meetings are held weekly during the season at St Johns Community Centre but most weeks we also operate a Zoom facility for at least part of the night to allow for remote access for those that need it.
