Twas the last Thursday upstairs before Christmas and twas the time to get truly into the spirit with a festive themed night. As usual, you will need a camera at the bare minimum but please get dressed up, bring props in, bring Santa if you like* because these nights all depend on YOU. We have […]
Back for more festive mirth with questions and fun aplenty. There may be prizes and there may be disagreements over the answers but there will definitely be merriment and a good time will be had by all. Bring in festive food and let's make it a party night too
I know we don't normally do this at the start of a month but we didn't have a show and tell last month and we have our festive shoot to show off as well as any pictures taken over Christmas. Other pictures welcome of course if we need to fill the time. Details of where […]
We have shot each other in the past and some of us have been shot more than others but when do we ever try and get a shot that the volunteer model would want to show off to their family and friends? The answer is never.....until tonight. So, get dressed up, tell the photographers what […]
Bob was booked in to join us before the pandemic and, despite having a good reason to say no, he says he'll still come back! His visits are always highly entertaining with some amazing pictures so get there early or you'll end up sitting in the corridor. His talk tonight is called A Taste of […]
Some of you may know the stories but you won't have seen all the pictures of our trip to the jungles of Uganda. And you may have read the stories but now it's time to hear them in all their dual-presentation glory. With tales of lions, gorillas, chimpanzees and a leopard as well as frequent […]
It's been a while so many of you won't know of or remember Gary's last visit but it was so good that I just had to invite him back. He was originally due to join us before the pandemic so I was doubly glad that he is still doing talks and was even willing to […]
A number of years ago we had a really fun night recreating album covers so we thought we'd do it again. Last time we had some efforts from albums made by Queen, Elton John and Bruce Springsteen for example but what will happen this time? I still haven't got over having to wear the wigs! […]
With expensive guest presenter, Glyn Wade. Everyone demanded that there shouldn't be a part 3 as they'd had enough after 5 minutes of part 1 but here we are again. We tried to stop him but he promised to take over as secretary and install his wife as Chair if we didn't let him charge […]
Yes, he's back! Another club favourite, Martin, is returning to do an updated version of his talk An Introduction to Astrophotography. This normally ends up with people spending a lot of time looking up and spending very cold nights outside.....but it's all worth it! We are very grateful and pleased that Martin is joining us […]
It's Picko (and Chadders!!) again so many thanks to him (them) for volunteering to show us how to get shots of planes in flight. There will be mentions of the Mach Loop as well as various airshows and possibly airport visits as well. Lots of tips and tricks as well as some fantastic shots of […]
It's like a show and tell night but with handy hints and tips to improve, as well as constructive criticism just like a photography competition. Picko has volunteered to be up front but is anyone brave enough to stand with him? If you're okay with having your pictures critiqued then I'll tell you where to […]
We will be upstairs tonight so plenty of room to spread out your macro subjects under the theme 'from the earth'. Another suggestion for the evening was to recreate movie scenes so if anyone can combine the two there will be bonus points on offer!
It's the annual excitement of the AGM where the committee bravely put themselves up for re-election while throngs of people try and take their position either by force or bribery. Previous AGMs have ended up with 2 broken fingernails, 2 torn pieces of paper and an 'oooo, that was hot' when someone accidentally drank their […]
Yes it's been while since we did this so let's see what you've all been up to....photographically of course....and get your pictures in to Claire, whose email address is in your email. No critiquing, just supportive members sharing photos. We also have the results of POTM.
Yes our recent POTM winner is back at the front and doing a presentation on.....who knows! Whatever Rob does he will be saying it with confidence and you have to work out which is true and which he has made up because he has forgotten his notes....
We are upstairs for a creative night that is inspired by our recent album cover shoot. You can carry on with more of those of course but we will also be doing scenes from films, covers/posters from films and book covers and scenes.....whatever takes your fancy! If you want people to bring in any props […]
It's been a while so we are more than pleased to welcome Jenna back tonight as she does her talk on how photographs are important in preserving local history.
No not the sweets! But feel free to bring some in! Tonight is all about those things you either never knew or have forgotten and Picko will be taking you through as many as he can fit in so, if there's something you want him to include, do let him know. Initial requests have been […]
Your mission , should you choose to accept it, is to only take pictures using your mobile tonight.....and make them good enough for the next show and tell.... Can you do it or will you wimp out and reach for your camera.....? This message will self-destruct when it can be bothered....
