Brighton & Hove Camera Club
After being encouraged by a Flickr friend to try out the Brighton & Hove Camera Club – I decided this week to give it a go. Before hand I was slightly concerned that it might be aimed at an older, and excuse the following description – a bit “flat cap”…but I was pleasantly surprised by my first experiences of the club!
My first meeting kicked off with a bang with an amazing talk on “Optimising Your Digital Work Flow”. Despite using graphics and photography manipulation software for years – I learnt an incredibly amount that evening!
Last night, an additional meeting was put on for the ‘E’ group – an entry level group for every one who has just joined the club. A general photography competition was held for the group. After bringing along a small portfolio of my work to date, I was encouraged by a few of the members to enter the competition with two prints. I was incredibly happy to win gold for one the images, and a ‘very high’ silver for the other.
I shall definitely be joining the club!
I’ve always been wary of Camera clubs, but you’ve enthused me. Brighton is a great place to take pictures!
Where is this club? How do you join / come along? Is it film or digital. Cheers…
would you tell me when the next beginners meeting is please? Thanks
Hi!
It’s best to check out http://www.bhcc-online.org/index.php to find out when the next meetings are. I think there’s some information on there about how to join up too & a gallery of photos from some of the members.
They welcome digital & film photographers.
Thanks for the positive endorsement of “Optimising the Digital workflow) – my next plan is to turn it into a book!
Did you join the club
