Whatever number it is, it's time to get creative again as we do individual (or group!) projects. As the recent projects night was snowed off you can carry your ideas forward and it won't cost you any extra! Remind me, in case I forget, that my project is called MOVE and I need to bring […]
It's been a while so I'm sure we're all looking forward to another Nikki Night.....but what will she be doing....? When will we find out? Or maybe we never will.... Details hopefully to follow.
We haven't been out together in Leek for years so let's bring back the old times and head there again. Lots to see and photograph so don't shilly shally, get thee'sen to Leek. Meet by the Nicholson War memorial from 18:45 onwards-wandering to begin at 7. I'll leave the parking decisions up to you. The […]
This time we will be looking at pictures we've taken this month and seeing what went wrong, what went right and how we can make the former into the latter. Lots to get through this month as we will have pictures from Trentham Gardens, Projects night and a night out in Leek!
There is a footbridge by the Odeon on Festival Park atop which you can get some interesting light trails photos. And that's the plan for tonight so meet there and bring camera, tripods and shutter releases if you have them. Not sure what all this means? Someone will show and help you, cos that's the […]
Upstairs. Big room. Bring tripods, cameras, base plates and shutter releases if you have them. Picko will be waving our Magilight around while others are invited to bring their boxes of tricks. Probably best not light any wire wool though.....probably....but....no....definitely not.....in case the hall owners are reading this....
Jappleyard will be showing us pictures from his Iceland trip tonight and telling us all about his adventures there. At the time of writing he hasn't been yet so let's hope he gets some decent photos.....or Brenda does at least....but would he try and pass them off as his own if that was the case....??
It's time to look back on an exciting month as we look at your pictures from the light trails night and the Magilight and light painting night. It's gonna be a bright night! As usual it will be the good and the bad so we can all work together to improve cos teamwork makes the […]
Our next day trip will be to Cannock Chase. Details of when and where to meet will be sent out in your club emails soon. There's lots to see and do. Car parking is far from free and is £10 for all day but the money does go to look after the forests.
Yes it's finally time to have guest speakers again and our first guest. Richard, used to be a member of our club. He is now a professional photographer and works (or runs?) Weston Digital Imaging and Media. He had a number of talks to choose from but we have gone for Do Pictures Talk? as […]
Grab your masks, your costumes, your pumpkins and your cameras etc as we go upstairs for a Halloween shoot. Scary music can be provided and I am quite happy to make people jump while Claire screams like a banshee. I think there was talk of getting a model too but, whatever, come along and make […]
Yes it's that time of year again as we wave our arms around making shapes with lights and fire! Tripods and cameras are a must while a shutter release would be useful. But where are we going...? Bennet precinct in Longton. Meet outside Boots. There should be shelter for the photographers but maybe not for […]
Crikey, another show and tell night! You know the format by now. Send in your pictures and we'll look and learn together. Tonight will be shots from Halloween night and our night out painting with light.
Kitto and Picko will be showing us all something new to us tonight as we get hungry with a demo on shooting food-and not just the sad Instagram pictures of wilted spinach etc! This is proper photography not the piffle that clogs up your Instagram feed! But how can they make a baked bean sexy??
After coming a respectable 'not last' on our debut in 2022, the club have once again entered the Staffordshire Photographic Clubs PDI competition and all members are welcome to come along and support the club as we aim higher. The event is at: Lea Hall Miners and Welfare Club Sandy Lane, Rugeley, Staffordshire WS15 2LB […]
After last week's demo it's time to try out food photography for yourselves but what will you bring and what will you shoot?/ And can YOU make a baked bean look sexy? And will Instagram explode if you post a decent picture of food on there??
Arguably our most popular speaker, Alex has deigned to come back again! And he has a whole new talk too which is titled Creative Nature Photography. There will be some of the best macro photography known to insects on show as well as larger subjects, all done in Alex's inimitable, affable style. As anyone who […]
Yes, Hayley is popping back and bringing some of her animals for us to photograph! I have no idea what creatures and critters will be on show but they're always fascinating to just see let alone get the chance to photograph them. She hasn't even bought some of the animals yet that you will have […]
After recent visits by Alex Hyde and then Hayley and her creatures I'm sure there will be lots of macro pictures showing up tonight. Other pictures welcome of course and we'll start with ones taken since the last show and tell night if we have a lot. Where to send your pictures will be in […]
Tesni Ward has deigned to join us again following a very popular previous visit so don't miss this one! Her presentation tonight will be British Wildlife and I'm sure that will include some of her amazing hare pictures. Have a look at her website here to whet your appetite.
