To many, a camera club/photographic society should be named after its locality. But many are not and Photocraft is one of them. It was time, then, to “Celebrate” our area and this Wednesday evening was all about Wallington and the local area…where we have spent many a...
So this week we tried something a bit different, with Chris R “volunteering” Brian C and Mark B (your blog author this week) to facilitate an evening of feedback on images submitted by members. Both Brian and I were somewhat nervous about this as we are not...
Tonight saw the first of this season’s Open Print competitions and we welcomed Gerald Kitiyakara back, visiting Photocraft as our judge for the evening. It was his first visit to our new home but he’s been passing judgment on our work for many years. He is the...
As you may well have read in Mark B’s excellent blog from a couple of weeks ago, several members went walkabout (and on the buses) in the wilds of Wallington and beyond on 13th September. It was a pleasant evening and we started in good light but it always disappears...

We were delighted to welcome Peter Merry back to Photocraft for this talk. Peter had previously judged at one of our photo competitions but this time, he wore his street photography hat and gave us an insightful presentation on his Monopoly Project. As the name might...
Apologies for the late posting of this blog. We had some website hosting issues. It was once again my pleasure to be the blogger for a visit to the club by Jay Charnock FRPS. She was with us to judge our third open print competition of the season. Those of us who have...
