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...
In my humble opinion ..
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...
“UNTITLED”, OR OUR OPEN PRINT COMPETITION No. 1 – 18th OCTOBER 2023

WERE WE UP TO THE CHALLENGE? SCAVENGER HUNT IMAGE REVIEW – 27th SEPTEMBER 2023

2022/23 Season AGM and Social Evening
A very quick blog entry to end this season and there are sadly no photos. We had a rather welcome positive feel to this season’s AGM with sufficient members joining to ensure it complied with all our requirements for voting, etc. So we give a very warm welcome to our...
ARGENTINA ON CAMERA – A PRESENTATION BY JAN AND LYN ROBERTS
On Wednesday 24th May, the club welcomed along, via Zoom, Jan and Lyn Roberts who gave us a talk and a look at much of Argentina’s more familiar sights plus an insight into a far lesser-known area of wetlands. The trip by Jan and Lyn was back in 2010 and it was...
THE MONOPOLY PROJECT – A TALK BY PETER MERRY – 3RD MAY 2023

“THE ONLY RULE IS THAT THERE ARE NO RULES” – OUR THIRD OPEN PRINT COMPETITION – 29th MARCH 2023
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...
