This group for anyone interested in all aspects of photography regardless of what sort of camera you use, members use all types of cameras from phones, compact cameras, bridge cameras, mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras and high-end DSLRs.

2026 Meetings

*Challenge Guidelines: Preferrably recent photos the idea is to get us all taking photographs not trawling through our archives. Around 4 photos, maximum of 6, per person at each meeting (where noted below). It's up to you how to interpret the subject, be bold! If you want to send photos via a dropbox contact Nigel (above) for details.

Note that unlike the last few years we are not having a holiday month in July.
