Three weeks into the new season and we are delighted to have welcomed a number of new members and visitors to the club. We hope you have enjoyed the club the talks and images and it has encouraged you to develop your photography and take part in future activities at the club.

The season so far has included a ‘Share and Tell Members Evening’ in which projects, learning and images from the summer where shared by members. There was an eclectic mix of images including Wildlife Photography, images using vintage lenses, images produced using in camera features such as double exposure, Street Photography including some ICM (Intentional Camera Movement), and a photographic journey which included landscape images.

The last two Wednesday meetings have included a shared Zoom talk with Keswick Photographic Society by Jeanette Lendon entitled “Mobile Phone Photography” .
