Photography Group

We are positively not “Techies”. Our aims are simple – Learn – Share - Gain Confidence – Satisfy –
Amuse and Enjoy - we learn through doing and the informal exchange of knowledge and experience. 
Level of expertise and sophistication of equipment are far less important than 
an open mind and a good eye for a picture.

 

Meetings are monthly and each is based on an aspect of photography with a practical session or a review
of member pictures - forthcoming topics include: Summer Landscapes, Holiday Snaps! and Motion & Movement.

 

Occasional photostrolls take us into the surrounding countryside, looking for opportunities which may 
relate to the time of year or merely the myriad of subjects arising from a leisurely stroll.
Typically a couple of miles walk then a pub lunch provide ample opportunity for sharing knowledge and swopping ideas.

 

Whether you're a happy snapper or a more serious photographer, you’ll be welcome to join
us and share your experiences with an interesting and amusing  group of like-minded people.
