Will I learn how to take good pictures?
The societys new programme of events offers an environment with the aims of promotion, encouragement and enjoyment of all branches of photography through meetings, tutorials, practicals and other activities that will help members improve their photography skills.
Can you give me photography advice?
Many of our members have decades of experience of photography as a hobby or sometimes a profession. Friendly informal advice is always available from those members during any of our meetings.
Should I bring my camera to the meetings?
No, in general you do not need to bring a camera to a regular meeting. However, we do have practical sessions where your camera may be required. We also have a range of photoshoots where your camera will be essential. Check the Events page to see a full program of meetings, photoshoots and practical sessions.
I'm not sure if I will fit in, can I come and see what its like before committing?
We would encourage all potential members to come along to any regular Wednesday meeting to “sample” the society. You can attend up to three meetings before having to make a decision to join and pay the membership fee. We ask for a small fee of £3 per evening for visitors and some of our premium events may have a higher fee.
