Once again we enjoyed a fantastic and very sociable pre-Christmas club night. This was the last full club meeting of the year and as become the tradition, we had a super evening with a quiz organised by Martin with some material provided by Gavin. A very festive spread supplied by Moy with some help I…
Coventry Photo Shoot
In late November, a photo shoot around the centre of Coventry was organised by Chris and Paul. The main area of interest surrounded the old and new Cathedrals. A good number of members attended the trip and clearly a good day out was had with a super collection of images from the two iconic churches…
November Club Meeting
Well our November club meeting was really the final set of three, where we were looking at post processing and some of the techniques available to us with modern technology. We discussed why you may want to do it, what it consists of and the benefits and possible pitfalls you may come across. At this…
Salford Quay and Media City
Well as August drew to a close, a group of about 8 of us had a day out at Salford Quay and Media City in Manchester. A first visit for most of us and what an amazing place it is. The variety of architecture is amazing and the whole area is very pedestrian friendly. Apart…
September Club Meeting
For the start of our new season, we thought it would be a good opportunity to see how well we all knew what our cameras were capable of and perhaps help us push the boundaries of the type of images we usually take. We wanted to recognise that we have a wide range of skill…
August Club Walk

May Club Meeting – Shardlow
As the weather had been improving and the daylight hours increasing, we decided to have a walk around the village of Shardlow for our May meeting. Given it coincided with a Bank Holiday, we were pleasantly surprised at the high turnout. Guided by local Martin, we started from the Clock Warehouse and took a steady,…
April Club Meeting – Project 111
At our April club meeting we decided to return to an old favourite practical activity that we hadn’t done for some time. The idea behind Project 111 is that members get to choose one subject from a list provided, they then have one hour to go and take pictures and then have to choose one…
