2026 / 2027 Programme of Events and Activities

Practical Evenings provide an excellent way to learn about a wide range of photography techniques. Topics for the coming season include: Still Life, Macro, Focus Stacking, Intentional Camera Movement, Long Exposure, AI, Printing, High Speed Photography and more.

​

Themed evenings are a great opportunity for everyone to focus on a particular photographic theme with a mixture of discussion and feedback on submitted photos.

​

The first four sessions (3rd to 24th of September) are free to new members. Simply come along and see what the club's like, meet the people and tell us what your photographic interests. Our Introduction to photography course kicks off on the 6th of October and is free to all members.
