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.

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.

Members are free to suggest changes to these webpages at group meetings.
