PHOTOGRAPHY GROUP

We are a supportive group of enthusiastic photographers, using anything from a mobile phone camera or iPad, to a sophisticated SLR, who share knowledge and seek to improve our abilities. At present we have 9 members, and meet on a Tuesday morning approximately every 6 weeks in a delightful converted barn in Axbridge, which belongs to one of our members. Each member produces a memory stick, or sends an email of images, which we can then see via computer on to a large TV monitor. Subjects are set for each meeting, which results in praise or constructive criticism. We link in to another u3a group in London, who produce excellent presentations to improve our knowledge and we use archive material if relevant. We have recently spent some time endeavouring to add ‘atmosphere’ to images of buildings, which has proved a challenge. This theme continues and we are collecting a folder together of our best attempts to push up standards.

We also have ‘Safari days.’ We have space for 2-3 new members so don’t be shy, we don’t bite and the coffee and biscuits are always excellent.

If you would like more information, the number is in our news Bulletin. Please call for a chat.

Next subjects include comparing the same image in colour with black and white, continuing with ‘3’ of anything, and any other image we might be pleased with or ‘could do better’. New members welcome at any level.
