PLANNED PHOTO WALKS
-------------------- : --------------------
* | |
* Until we either all have our jabs, or the government say's that we're ok to do so, there will be no planned walks for the foreseeable future. | |
* | |
* The last planned photo walk in Harleston on Tuesday 8th December was a resounding success, albeit a very cold day. | |
* | |
* It is understood that under current Covid 19 legislations, only a maximum of 6 people are allowed on these walks | |
* so, please contact John if you would like to join us, to help with controlling numbers attending. | |

Gaining knowledge through Publications
- There are a number of ways where we can learn more about photography outside of the group, by reading books, eBooks or the internet webpages.
- Digital Publications
- - Online through your local library
- - Online through Pinterest
- - Online through Amazon Kindle
- Physical Books and Magazines
- I know that a lot of people prefer to hold and read a physical book rather than an electronic device, and of course there are a host of physical publications on photography available through your local library, bookshop, charity shops or online shopping.
- You will often find books on our subject in the charity and second-hand book shops around Beccles. A couple of quid gets you books that originally retailed for £25 and of course you are also helping the charity.
- The basics of composition and picture making doesn't age, so even books too old to have digital sections can give insight.
- And after you have benefited, why not bring them in to share or better still base a talk around what you have learnt or not understood.
