For a triumphant third time we are pleased to welcome back Dave 'mono' Butcher for his presentation entitled City Light. I'm sure he will bring along some of his excellent books to sell which will make ideal Christmas presents....maybe even for yourself! Come along and see black and white prints from the Master of Mono […]
Beech caves that is, with fire breathers and fire jugglers....do I really need to big this up any more?? The caves are protected from the elements but do please bring sturdy footwear as it can be quite muddy getting in there. If you haven't been before the caves used to hold raves and so are […]
Another brand new speaker to the club tonight as we welcome Guy Dunn who will be doing a talk on composite images. Here is how things will pan out: I will start the session with an introduction, talking about my day to day work and some of the composite images I have created over the […]
Locked in separate rooms you have a choice tonight as we open up the wonders of Photoshop to you. In one room Phil will be doing some beginner's stuff while Claire will be taking an advanced class in her room. Bring your laptop if you can but it's always good to watch even if you […]
Back by popular demand (or so they tell me....) I shall once again be testing your photography knowledge in my annual quiz. We will also have a charity auction to raise money for this year's chosen charity which is our local Samaritans-items welcome-which runs in tandem with our yearly Christmas card appeal (donate money instead […]
To ease you into 2020 Phil will be creating another photography quiz for us. Not sure if it will be a puzzle piece one yet or something completely different but it will ease us back into Willfield Thursday nights.
Like the Oscars but with cake.... Not really but possibly even better (as long as you bring cake). Tonight Andy and Pete will be covering the awards you can achieve with the Royal Photographic Society and the Guild of Photographers (maybe etc?). What do you have to do? Where do you have to go? How […]
With printer! With Andy, Pete and Nathan tonight will be about preparing your images for printing from start to the actually printing them which we shall call 'the finish'. Bring images in, your laptops or just come and watch because, let's be honest, not many of us print our images any more.
I am absolutely thrilled to announce that Tony Worobiec is coming back to Willfield and he has yet another superb presentation for us called The Intimate Landscape. He describes it as an encouragement to look beyond the obvious and will, I'm sure, be another educational, informative and fun evening. Don't miss it!

Out and about we go but we're keeping the location a secret.....for now....so we can make it like those raves back when....you remember those don't you....? Usual equipment and paraphernalia please. There are many examples on the internet if you're not sure what painting with light is but you will definitely need a tripod as […]
In yet another massive coup we are delighted to welcome along another brand new speaker to the club as Jack Perks is our guest tonight.

So, what equipment do you take when you go out photographing? Tonight we will be finding out! Nathan, Andy P, Claire and Hayley have already volunteered to show us the contents of their photography bags whilst I am intrigued to see if John Appleyard will reveal why he carries such a huge bag and what […]
Making use of our big room and studio set up we will have a guest model in tonight, the fabulous Mina VonVixen, who will also instruct in how to pose a model, set up lights etc. I'd advise bringing a camera.....
With a guest speaker who is an expert in astrophotography we will find out tonight how best to photograph the night sky. We may follow this up with a weekend trip to somewhere to put this into practice so keep an eye out for that. Duncan will be doing his first talk for us but […]
We tried it before, it went well and so we're going to do it again! With prizes on offer we will be getting in a guest judge who will give brief feedback on each entry and then choose their top 3 at the end.
