Photography
The group seeks to promote an understanding of the operation, in particular, of the digital camera.
The group meets on the 1st Monday evening in the month at 7pm in one of our members homes. Equally important to the subject matter, the membership enjoys a happy social environment in which to discuss photography and also to carry out impromptu photo shoots. Due to the natural limitation imposed by our chosen meeting venues, membership is now limited to 10 persons.
Each meeting is fairly evenly broken down into discussion, relating to, how, with what, where, general explanations and to viewing each others images.
We have a whole range of experience within the group, from that of nervous operator to very well read technical expertise, so nobody feels intimidated due to lack of experience.
Usually we decide on a topic for the month's artistic interpretation. Quite often we all fail to fill the given task. We do however always have images to display for comment and criticism. The most popular mechanism for display is via the host's TV system.
In addition to the monthly topic there is always the option to capture any scene which appeals to the individual. Our "formula libre" escape route.
Since there are no fees, we do not possess group equipment. For instance there isn't the facility for studio work.
