Want to make better Photos?
Keen to improve the quality and range of your photography?
Why not come along and join us?
Bideford Camera Club was formed in 1902, but while over 100 years later the basics of photography remain much the same, we now embrace a wide variety of styles and genres of photography.
We are a friendly Group, based in North Devon, with a passion for all kinds of photography. Our members range from relative beginners to relatively experienced photographers.
We firmly believe photography should also be fun, so while some of our members enter external competitions and the group is fully affiliated to The Western Countries Photographic Federation and The Photographic Alliance of Great Britain, others are just as happy to meet up to share and discuss their images on an informal basis.
The image is the important aspect of photography and how you creatively get there, rather than the equipment you use.
So whether you just want to get more out of the camera on your smartphone, or to use a more advanced camera of any type, you will be welcome at the club.
- Varied programme of speakers and photography based activities throughout the year
- Regular group indoor meetings, both social and technical.
- Share images, ideas, hints and tips.
- Friendly photo challenges and opportunities.
- Option to take part in assorted photography competitions with expert feedback and critique
- Any level of photographic skill welcome.
- Digital camera, film camera or mobile phone - if you enjoy taking photographs and making images there will be something in the club for you!
