Picko volunteers again and this time there will be at least two types of exposure going on. He is even supplying his own ghost. You'd better come along and listen as we will be practicing this out in the field in two weeks time! What a guy!
Get it in your diaries folks because you won't want to miss the latest presentation by the macro master, Alex Hyde. At time of writing the presentation hasn't even been created yet and a lot of the photos haven't been taken yet which makes it all the more exciting!
It's time to take all you learnt from Picko and take it out into the field, well the cemetery anyway..... We will be at the Cemetery in Shelton on Cemetery Road. Cameras and tripods plus shutter releases at the ready folks.
Yes, it's that time of year where I ask 100 serious questions all related to photography. Or not. That would shock you wouldn't it! Bring food and drink along folks as we have a bit of a do during the break.
Our first night back and what a corker we welcome you back with! Claire will be working on this all over Christmas so it promises to be the highlight of 2026...already!
How close can you go? And what will you be using as subjects? We have the whole of upstairs for you to take pictures of tiny things....go figure! Bring macro lenses if you have them and maybe a tripod if you can put up with their nonsense.
By incredibly popular demand we are delighted to welcome Bob back for one of his fabulous presentations. I have let him choose this year and he has gone for From The Ordinary To The Extraordinary Part Two. More information is available here. We are in for another fun and educational evening whilst also enjoying some […]
My notes from planning night say 'Subways in Newcastle'. I can't remember why. I'll let you know. And which subways. And which Newcastle?? Sounds good though!
Due to a number of factors, there will be no meeting this week.
Will it be red for romance (it is nearly valentine's Day after all)? Will it be red roses? Will it be blood? Will it just be to stick to the rule of always having something red in your picture? Will it be something else....red? It's up to you! You have the upstairs room and your […]
We are delighted to welcome Ashley back as we have all been looking forward to part 2 of The Wider World of Photography. Part 1 was highly entertaining and I'm sure part 2 will be just as good if not better! Please note that we will be upstairs this week.
We are delighted to welcome Lee back who did such a great talk last year. This time he will be talking about sports photography so definitely one not to miss.
Yes it's time already to plan our Summer programme so bring along your suggestions and volunteering heads as we get the diary full quickly ready for another of our universe-famous show and tells. Details to follow in your email.
We're upstairs again as you finally get the chance to do that project you've been meaning to get round to but never had the time. Plus you have the benefit of having people around you to help, encourage and even model for you. But what will YOU do?
A very special evening as model Natasha shows us how to pose a model and then poses for us so we can put into practice what we have learnt. I know a lot of us struggle with this so this is something we have waited a long time for. Please note that this is a […]
Louise has been promising to do a presentation for us for many a year and now finally the time has arrived! Fill the room, bring cake and celebrate as she steps up and continues this epic series by explaining and showing why she loves photography.
You wanted more and you've got more! Tonight is an elaboration on Bob's recent visit with a live demo showing how you can take your photography from the ordinary to the extraordinary. There will also be time for the some of the questions that Bob didn't have time to answer last time as well as […]
In the big room tonight as we shoot each other. Again. But this time you are only allowed to use one light. Bag searches will be done at the door in case you try and smuggle an extra one in. Or probably not. Maybe have a look on the internet or even in a book […]
See, I told you you wouldn't have to wait too long to get this presentation that was postponed from the first week in January....and then from the last week in February.... Hopefully there will be no snow tonight or I forgot I'd booked a guest speaker in as Claire shows us some pictures that demonstrate […]
Tonight is a Limited Edition show and tell night as we ask you to submit pictures for discussion that are single light portraits. Ones from April 9th and any you have taken since are more than welcome as we nail down the subject and all become experts. Again.
