Cricklade Camera Club display in the council office window.
Are you interested in photography, or do you just want to take better photographs?
If so, why not come along to Cricklade Camera Club. Visitors and new members will receive a warm welcome – you don’t even need a camera. Everyone is welcome. Come and try us out, your first evening is FREE. We meet on the first Tuesday of the month at 7:30pm in the Cricklade Town Hall Annexe and there are a range of talks, workshops and Zoom presentations throughout the year. To see all our activities take a look at the programme page of our website https://crickladecameraclub.org/program/
On Tuesday 3rd February, 7:30pm in the Town Hall Annexe, is our PDI and Print league round 2. Members have submitted printed and digital images, and they will be judged during the evening by an independent, visiting judge. Even if you haven’t submitted images come along it’s a great way to learn what makes a good photograph.
On Wednesday 17th February at 7:30pm we are hosting a Zoom meeting presentation by Peter Benson entitled ‘Photography on the Darkside, London Nights’. Here you can join Peter in exploring the magical beauty of the night, one frame at a time immersing yourself in the mesmerising urban nightscapes captured through his lens. During this journey he’ll be giving some hints and tips along the way sprinkled with a bit of history about some of the places, so there is something for everyone.

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”
Outings
