Martin kindly volunteered to do his own version of Nikki's inspiring talk-first by accident and then for reals! Who knows where we will end up tonight but it is sure to be entertaining!
Yes!! Martin has kindly deigned to join us again and this time he will be talking about his trip to Costa Rica. Martin always has some fine stories to tell, shows some amazing pictures and won't hide how he managed to get them.
Now is YOUR chance to have my job. Form an orderly queue! We will also be planning our Summer programme so start collating your suggestions and ideas and let me know them beforehand if you won't be there on the night. This is your club and this is your chance to suggest, volunteer (!) and […]
We have the upstairs room for a free-for-all night (as long as you pay your £2.50!) as it's a projects night where you get to do whatever you want. Will it be macro, will it be portraits, will it be water droplets, will it be spooky, will it be light painting, will it be product […]
Stewart is a professional macro photographer with a long list of renowned clients who, not surprisingly, is coming to do a presentation on Macro. Have a look here and see how up close and personal he gets. It's definitely one not to miss.
Yes we're heading up north for a night of street photography as well as taking pictures of some iconic buildings, graffiti or whatever takes your fancy. Meet in the Queen's Gardens next to the old post office (now a Witheringspoons) at about 18:45. Hang on....news just in......apparently it's the Newcastle just over the A500.....well that'll […]
Lee will be visiting us for the first time although some of us will have already attended the super events he organises. Most of you will know that he creates events based on historical times and events and so tonight's talk will be on Recreating History which is something new for us. Just when you […]
Grab your lensballs or share someone else's as we spend a night practicing distorting things ready for a night out soon doing the same thing. Bring in some subjects/objects to take pictures of, through your transparent spheres. You can combine this with Macro or just do some Macro, but come with ideas and see what […]
Optimistic eh! We will meet by the Visitor's Centre and wander from there before congregating back by Hulme Quarry to get glorious shots of a colourful sunset later on. Directions will be in your email closer to the time.
What's a leading line, why are triangles golden and what does the Fibonacci sequence have to do with photography? All of these questions will be answered by our resident expert who will be standing on the thirds the whole night whilst avoiding being cropped letterbox style.
Not a bad subject for a lensball as we all head up to Mow Cop castle and the Old Man of Mow tonight. There is a car park but it is likely to shut early so try and find somewhere to park on the road and then meet by the castle. If you don't have […]
Our new MLC is on the case with exact details of what's happening upstairs in the big room tonight. Watch this space
But whatever it is it's worth the journey to Werrington for. And that's probably a journey his notes wont be making as he'll probably leave them at home again. He will then say things with confidence and we'll take them as fact. Not that he has history or anything.... But his talks have always been […]
Another night out in the sun and to a new place too. Directions and further details will be in your email closer to the time.
And show pictures.....they won't be as good as mine but at least she's having a go and can even be marginally humorous at times. Best come along and show your support now I've bigged her up so much :-).
Westport Lake that is of course. There are lots of birds about if you like photographing that sort of thing or, if you like something interesting (now I'm in trouble!) the back bit of the lake is a relatively new area which is a bit spooky (until we get there anyway) and worthy of a […]
I'm sure our MLC will be on the case with this one as we bring our ideas along and work together to create some spectacular images. Well that's what has always happened before so I don't see why tonight will be any different! Upstairs in the big room so plenty of space to be creative. […]
On a balmy Summer's evening where better than to go than here? I have no idea to be honest. I've never heard of it let alone been there but Nicko recommended it so you can praise him when it turns out to be amazing. And if it isn't..... But I'm sure it will be! Details […]
We've been up to so much recently that we may have to limit how many pictures people can submit or we'll be here for a week.....which isn't a bad idea... It will be nice to catch up and see what we've been up to recently. Details on when and where to submit your photos will […]
In a change to the programme we are now off to see the 21 meter tall statue Golden and the surrounding environs known as Goldendale. Directions are in your email. It's near Tunstall apparently!
