You will be made welcome whatever your level of ability or experience

The Society was formed in July 1936 so our new season, is our 90th anniversary.  To celebrate this milestone we are planning an exciting programme of events, including a special anniversary lecture in October.  Information on the first few meetings is given below and more information can be found under the programme tab.  If you want to learn more about what we do just look around this site, visit our social media pages or contact us directly.  We meet on Wednesday evenings from September to May and we also run occasional technical workshops.  Guests are always welcome to any of our events so if you are interested in photography come along and try us out. 

 

 

21st October – Members evening- themed project

This will be a repeat of last season’s very successful themed members evening, where members submitted a small number of images or a short AV on a project topic chosen from a provided list.  We are repeating again this year and hope to see some more interesting images. Members can choose from the following topics

  • Still life (posed arrangements of any static subject)

  • Reflections (images showing reflections of any sort)

  • Portrait (a series of human or animal portrait images)

  • Mono ( a linked series of images converted to mono to enhance impact)

28th October – “Around the world in 3650 days” by Ashley Grove

Ashley is a well known local wildlife photographer who has given a number of well received talks to us before.  To mark the 10th anniversary of launching his company “Experience Nature,” Ashley has put together this talk celebrating some of the stunning wildlife that he has shared with his groups over this time. You’ll be visiting the diverse Islands of Galapagos, Canada, Central America, the Caribbean, Africa, Asia and several European countries, including all corners of the British Isles.

4th November – 2nd aggregate competition judged by Monica Doshi

The next in our series of four aggregate competitions and another chance to see members new work.  Unfortunately the judge listed in the programme, David Lowe, is now unavailable due to health issues, so at short notice we have managed to get Monica Doshi to step into his shoes.  Although we know Monica best for her wildlife images she is a fully accredited PAGB judge and will we are sure give a good assessment of our entries.

 

11th November ‘In search of ….” By Bill Ward

Bill is both a well known actor but also a very good photographer.  We had booked him to talk to us last season but due to clashes with his acting commitments that had to be postponed.  He still has a very busy schedule but we are pleased that he will finally be able to come and talk to us.  A great evening to look forward to.
