Digital Photography

Status:Active, open to new members
Convenor:

The Digital Photography group is for people with an interest in digital photography and we try to cater for people of all levels of knowledge and ability. We aim to cover a wide range topics at our meetings using our own in-house expertise but occasionally bringing in guest speakers. We will also arrange visits to local places of photographic interest to have practical sessions. Members of the group have a wide range of equipment so someone there should be able to answer any technical queries or problems you may have. Occasional visits to photographic exhibitions or galleries will also be arranged.

So whether you are a "David Bailey" or "happy snapper" with a phone camera we would love to have you at our meetings!

We meet every 3rd Tuesday of the month 2pm to 4pm at St Peter's Church Hall. (Unless otherwise indicated below)

There will be a charge of £2 per meeting to cover the venue charge and tea/coffee and biscuits.

Convener: Diane Berridge
