What is an ExploR? You might well ask!
It is a set of guided group activities for all members. We go ‘Out and About’ with your camera (or phone) to socialise and photograph something, somewhere or someone of interest.
The other defining thing is that they often end up at a cafe or a pub. How about that?
There are run ‘ad hoc’ and are not scheduled a long time in advance as is the main part of our annual calendar. They are suggested by club members and also run by volunteers. They are a great opportunity to get to know other club members, chat to people with specialist skills and get advice about and experience on types of photography that may be new to you.
Exact dates and details announced nearer to the time in our weekly ‘Snapshots’ e-magazine that’s emailed to all members.
Here are some events that we hope to run over the course of the current club year. There may be more!
Getting to Grips with your digital camera
Led by Tony Lord
Starting with photography basics we roam through history and practice to discover how you can control your very modern cameras and cameraphones to get the very best from your photography.
This will be in two parts and will have a practical session as well.
Fungi trail at Pulborough Brooks
The RSPB at Pulborough Brooks is well known for the variety – and photographic convenience- of its Autumn fungi.
Autumn colour at Eartham woods
Dawn at Littlehampton beach
Midwinter sunrise on a low tide. Glorious dawn, revealing reflections – and breakfast at the Harbour Lights. What’s not to enjoy?
Smart phone photography and processing apps
Our in-house expert will guide you round a miscellany of iPhone and Android phone features and Apps to give you the opportunity to raise your images from snaps to serious photography.
Spring flowers at Highdown Gardens
One morning in mid spring we get the opportunity to visit these unique gardens. What a wonderful opportunity!
