While we can still buy fireworks, we will be going up to Park Hall and setting some off....if you bring some! If you don't we'll just be staring at the sky hoping someone else sets some off somewhere.... The idea is that we photograph them of course so bring cameras, tripods and shutter releases if […]
This will be indoors and upstairs, readying us for trips out later in the Winter. We now have some experts who will be waving various lights around for your photographs. You will need a camera and a tripod and a shutter release would be very handy too.
In a new idea we will be having a night where we show photographs from previous weeks so this week we will be covering our fireworks night and last week's painting with light. We can include any pictures you have taken since which were inspired by the two nights and on the same subject. Details […]
73 in 73 was a mammoth undertaking by former member Jason and he has kindly offered to return and tell us all about it. 73 pictures in 73 days all of different locations all over the Peak District whilst working as well was quite an undertaking. It was all for charity and he was joined […]
Week one of your bubbles will be a presentation by Claire, Nikki and maybe Helen....someone had better tell her! This week we will learn how to do bubble photography.......and if you're not sure what that is, come along and find out!
After last week's introduction and explanation, we now move onto the practical in the upstairs room. I've just realised that we will be missing this week as we will be in Berlin, so Claire will be leaving things in the capable hands of Nikki and...ahem....Helen.... More on what to bring will be explained last week […]
You've spent two weeks learning and taking pictures....maybe at home too....and now it's time to show pictures and discuss how it all went and see what could be done better if anything. We will also be showing any festive pictures you may have taken so we can all get in the Christmas spirit.
Despite mass protests and the odd riot I shall be doing my annual heckle-fest where I try yet again to find the most tenuous links to photography for some questions. I may even bring back the incredibly unpopular charades round as an excuse to make bizarre gestures at everyone and make myself look an idiot […]
In an unprecedented duet we have Picko and Kitto tonight introducing us to the wonderful world of Low Key Photography. If you think this has something to do with dropping your keys....you'd better join us... No messing about with Happy New Years....we're back, let's get on with it!
After last week's introduction, it's time to put it into practice as we head upstairs to do some low key stuff. You do not need to have attended last week, you just need to turn up....with a camera...
It's time to get out and about as we head into Hanley to do some street photography. We will meet by the blue clock (doesn't everyone?) and head off either altogether or in groups. However you want to interpret street photography is fine. There are a number of car parks in Hanley and, don't tell […]
It's another catch-up, show your photos and discussion night as we show and tell from the recent low key photography and street photography nights.
Kitto is back at the front tonight with another of his popular presentations. This time he will be showing pictures from and talking about a trip to Snowdonia he took recently although, maybe by the time you read this, it will be so last year! Bets are off that he managed to capture a rainbow....
It's AA night as Andy N and Alan R demonstrate and aid with doing some action figure photography. It's time to dig out your Batmen, your R2D2s and your Barbies as we delve into the wonderful world of making small things look like life size things!
We will start off by looking at pictures from last week and any you may have been inspired to take since then whilst also discussing the whos, whys, whens and whatnots. We will also be looking at what some of us got up to on a recent Friday night outing to Longton Park....
Over 1400 years in ONE night! Presented by someone who is doing his research frantically to condense so much into one night and trying not to overrun again.... There may even be some things that will pop up in the Christmas quiz...... Yes, it's me!
It's time for you all to try and battle your way onto the committee as all our positions are up for grabs. There will be the usual speeches and going over the last year while you lot just wish it was all over. We will then be planning our Summer programme. So we need your […]
Remember that night when we had a projects night and I did mine on hands? Well this is part 2, so start thinking as soon as you read this what you're going to do. It was very interactive last time with people appearing in other's shots but it doesn't have to involve people at all […]
Two for the price of one no less! Claire will be showing you how to use a 360 camera and how she does her editing after, so be prepared to really, really want one....maybe we should have done this just before Christmas so you could have added one to your Christmas lists... Then Andy N […]
Tonight we will be showing what we got up to on two recent Painting With Light nights-although at time of writing the second one might be rained off! We can supplement this with photos in the theme of Nicko's presentation on mobile phone photography so send in recent or your favourite pictures you have taken […]
