We do this by going on photoshoots in the summer and at indoor training sessions during the winter.

Members share their knowledge with each other about how to take well-composed images and how to post-process them for posting on the Group's Facebook page.

During the summer months we go to various locations in our area for photoshoots where we learn how to use the different features and settings on our cameras to take the best pictures.

Our photoshoots cover all types of photography, including urban locations, landscapes and nature.

Meetings are usually held on the second Thursday of the month in the afternoon although photoshoots may occasionally also be held in the evening and occasionally we go out all day. We end our photoshoots in a local café.

Members share and comment on the photographs we have taken on the Group's Facebook page.

In the winter months we may meet in Lovedean Village Small Hall to learn how to post-process the images we take. The most popular software used by the Group’s members (and good value for money) is Adobe Photoshop Elements. Members pay £2 to attend these indoor meetings to cover the cost of the Hall.

Clive produces a monthly newsletter with details of and pictures from the last month's photoshoot, as well as the plan for the next month's activity. The latest newsletter can be seen by clicking on the button above the picture.

We welcome new members and anyone interested in joining should send Clive an email by clicking on his name at the top of the page.
