Program 2024

In 2024 the club competitions and nights will aim to enhance and challenge the members’ technical skills and ability to capture light to produce photography that has an impact and creates an emotional response from the viewer.

We should aspire to tell a story, keep the viewer captivated and push beyond opportunistic photography and our own comfort zone.

All club members can use the above philosophy to set the direction for their own personal photographic journey and the club will aim to nurture and encourage each member by using the expertise both in the club and externally.

Changes may be made to these topics and dates below.

Any changes will be communicated at club meetings, in the Shutterbug newsletter, Members Facebook Group or on the club website.
