Whitton Photographic Club

Why join a club?

There are many benefits. Many members of the Club began as absolute beginners who took snap shots whilst on holiday, recorded family events and generally clicked a camera at every opportunity. Their pictures, however, were frequently a disappointment. Limbs chopped off, lampposts projecting from the head, red eyes, too light, too dark, too small and too far away!

Membership of a club helps to focus the photographer on improving technique, picture composition, presentation etc. Often the experience gained in club membership affords the opportunity to develop a particular interest in one or more aspects of the hobby, thereby enhancing the satisfaction gained from its pursuit.

It also provides opportunity to meet like-minded people in a friendly social environment, to learn from others' experiences, complete in Club competition for trophies and prizes, and, generally, enables one to pursue the hobby to whatever level of commitment one wishes to make.

Through the Club's association with other Photographic Federations, opportunities exist to compete in the wider arena of amateur photography.

Your local Photographic Club is the bridge that enables those interested in taking pictures to move from the snap shot to creative, imaginative and more pleasing photographs with artistic/aesthetic merit. Why not take the first step across the bridge!
