Welcome to Bognor Regis Camera Club. Our club exists to encourage members to develop their skills and interests in all aspects of photography through learning, sharing, showing, exhibiting and competing in a friendly environment. No level of skill is needed, just an interest in photography.
Meetings:
We have a regular programme of meetings on Tuesday evenings from September to June in St Mary’s Hall, Felpham . Our sessions are varied and include excellent external speakers, talks by members, internal and external club competitions and practical evenings.
Club extras:
In addition to our regular Tuesday meetings we have workshops and ‘explore’ sessions out and about, informal coffee meet-ups and summer walks. We have Flickr groups for sharing images, for monthly contests and to encourage members to share a photo a week. Our members’ private WhatsApp group is for more casual photo sharing and up to the minute tips and information.
Cameras:
There is no need to have an expensive camera: our members use a variety of devices to take their photos: from smartphones, digital DSLR and mirrorless cameras, to large format film, and we share in digital and print media. We have interests in different styles and genres of photography and we are always happy to share our passions. It is much more about the content of the result than the equipment.
Competitions:
Though the season we have a series of internal competitions using an external adjudicator to appraise our images and choose their favourite picture (we don’t use a scoring system) and these are both in mounted print and projected digital format, and in both open subject and in themed categories. All members are encouraged to participate.
