The theme for March gives you the opportunity to spring clean your photography by getting creative and producing something a bit different that might end up being competition winners. At this time of year the days are getting longer, but the sun’s still low giving long and photogenic shadows. These can transform a normal photograph […]
February’s Theme is Portraiture
Dave and Sharon Barton’s well received talk on portraiture inspired me to choose it as February’s theme. All photographers enjoy taking portraits and have healthy collection of them in their files. Why not share them with fellow members and see what they think of them. It’s a great way to learn and improve your portrait […]

Gary Waidson DPAGB HND – Waylandscapes
We were really looking forward to a return visit by Gary after his excellent talk last year about using layers in Photoshop.

The Viking Roars, Again!
The Viking Roars Again! When member Robert Brown entered a portrait of one of his son’s team mates in the Tough Mudder event last year we were impressed both by the photography and the subject. Lasse, the “Roaring Viking” has now become a bit of an internet rage, and such is the fervour that […]

I’d just like to give members and friends of Ron an update of his current condition. Ron has given us many enjoyable and educational evenings with his fascinating talks in his unique style. I phoned Ron recently and spoke to him for about half an hour. As you may know he’s totally blind and can […]
June’s Monthly Theme – 50 Metres from your front d
You don’t have to go far to take a picture for June’s theme. Less than 50 metres in fact. I phoned Ron Smith and he recommended this theme as he had successfully used it when he used to set us his assignments. You don’t have to go far and there’s no restriction on when the photograph […]
