On Tuesday 16th December at 7:30pm Cricklade Camera Club is hosting a Zoom meeting which is Round 3 of the Southern Counties Photographic Federation (SCPF), league competition. A great opportunity to hear an independent judge give tips on how to improve images.
On Tuesday 6th January, 7:30pm in the Town Hall Annexe, our visiting speaker is Mark Kemp giving his talk “40 in the shade to 40 below” It is an accumulation of images from almost 40 years of visits for pleasure or business including some well-known places and some less visited. The images will be accompanied by a few stories and a little interesting information and might provide inspiration for places to visit and photograph yourself or just an amusing evening with a few nice pictures.

League Competition Rules
A copy of the League Competition Rules, can be printed out, from the “Download” section under “Members Links”. (I had a problem downloading these PDF’s on some Android devices, using Google Chrome, but found that MS Edge works fine). You can download both Annual and League Competition Rules and the latest user friendly 2024-2025 Programme.
For those of you who missed the first meeting, we have a new President – Graham Light, who prior to retiring as a professional photographer, was the main club sponsor.
If you would like to improve your photography, or share photography with like minded people, why not come along and join the club.
Please Note – A new section has been added to “Members Links” with a link to useful YouTube videos suggested by members. Please take a look and if you have any that you have found to be really good, please let the Webmaster know.
We regularly run workshops in the Committee Room at Cricklade Town Hall. These cover things like: “Critiqueing images and What Judges look for”, “Camera settings and getting off Auto”, An intro to Photoshop” and “Photoshop for Improvers”
