During 2021 the club competitions are designed to encourage participation in competitions where your images will be evaluated with the intent of encouraging participation and learning from judges comments.

With the aim  your photography will improve along with your technical skills, technical intelligence, the ability to capture light and to produce photography that has an impact and creates an emotional response from the viewer.

We should aspire to tell a story, to keep the viewer captivated and push beyond opportunistic photography and our own comfortable paradigm. (The square we live in)

All club members, beginners to professional, can use the above philosophy to set the direction for their own personal photographic journey and the club will endeavor to nurture and encourage each member by using the expertise both within the club and available externally.

While every effort is made to provide accurate information regarding dates, times and location it is strongly recommended you check all the details before attending any event.
