The Project Groups initiative is to get
members out and about and take photographs.
There is a strong social aspect to
the groups.
Also there is help and
advice available to any member who has any questions or problems.
For all the latest news on the Project
Groups see
Newsletter page.
The following groups are
available at the moment, but if you would like any other groups to be considered
please see a member of the committee and we will see what we can do:-

Monochrome Group - Alan Clark
clark9@btinternet.com
The
Monochrome Group has two main aims.
One is to promote black and white photography within the Camera Club by
encouraging those who have not tried to have a go, and by encouraging
those who have done it in the past to return to it.
The other aim is to serve the needs of the Club members who do not
practice monochrome photography.
This is done in a number of ways. Every monochrome group meeting
provides an opportunity for members of the group to show their latest
photographs to other members of the group, in order to share their work,
gain valuable feedback and encouragement, and receive advice if
required. This is done in a very informal atmosphere and every members
work is valued equally, whether they are a beginner or a more advanced
photographer.
Members also have the opportunity to make a longer, more formal
presentation of their work if they wish to do so. A different member of
the group does this at most meetings. Members have said that if you
commit yourself to doing this in 9 to 12 months time, it helps to give a
focus for your photography as it gives you something to work towards.
The Monochrome Group also organises an exhibition of members work,
usually every two years, at the National Park centre at Sutton Bank.
Members of the Monochrome Group embrace a whole range of black and white
photography processes from pinhole photography, traditional film and
darkroom work, through to the latest digital methods. But they all share
one thing in common; enthusiasm.
New members are always most welcome. |
