TENBY AND DISTRICT CAMERA CLUB

‘Getting creative juices flowing’ that’s what members were doing last Thursday evening 6th June at Tenby.

Starting in Crackwell Street, the group set up taking pictures of the harbour and then moving to different locations around the castle and harbour area. With the beautiful warm evening it gave the club members good reason to get out and enjoy their photography. Ray and Doug were milling around and giving advice and tips which gave the members a reason to try out their skills and experiment more.

The club meet this Thursday 14th June at Jameston village hall 7.30am which will give those who went to Tenby a chance to show some of their images. It is hoped that the chairman Roy Packer will be coming along to talk about ‘Light Room’

Visit to Carew 23rd May 2013

TENBY AND DISTRICT CAMERA CLUB

A challenging evening 23rd May for the clubs summer workshop photographers was a visit to Carew Mill. Ray Hines the tutor for this workshops asked members to look at landscapes and to consider the unusual, try different techniques using different apertures and shutter speeds. The weather turned very cold and lots of grey sky tested the photographer’s skill.

On Thursday evening 30th May members met at the Jameston Village community Hall where Ray asked members to discuss their images and in turn he gave his own view on how and why the image could be improved. It was a useful evening with the club members looking forward to next weeks shoot in Tenby when the subject will be ‘Twilight Images.

16/05/2013 First workshop with Ray Hinds

TENBY AND DISTRICT CAMERA CLUB

Thursday 16th May was the clubs first meeting of the summer programme held at Jameston Community Hall, a workshop ‘Taking Better Photograph’s’ was introduced by Ray Hinds an experienced photographer and one of the founder members of the club.

Ray began the evening for beginners in photography talking about aperture, depth of field and using shutters and apertures creatively. The evening was attended by 12 members of the club with a few new faces who we hope will continue to come along. During the coffee break it gave the members chance to talk to each other and discuss any issues they may have.

Ray continued the evening showing many examples of his own images ranging from landscapes, sport and wild life, and even obscure images that make that a very interesting subject. The workshop will run for 6 weeks with visits to various locations to use the tips and instruction in a practical way.

Thurs 2nd May Leigh Woolford

TENBY AND DISTRICT CAMERA CLUB

What a wonderful conclusion to the 2012—2013 winter programme at the camera club meeting on Thursday 2nd May. The guest speaker was Leigh Woolford AWPF, EFIAP a member of Gwynfa Camera club, who this year won the best coloured projected image at the 2013 Welsh Salon of Photography. Leigh visits many clubs and organisations giving talks together with his judging duties, he is also responsible for the Welsh Photographic Federation Website news. His talk was titled ‘A Search for Focus’, he told club members that he was introduced to the workings of the camera at a very early age by his father who like Leigh was passionate about his hobby. To give those present an insight to where his own subject matter came from, we were shown images that his father had taken, then Leigh visited those same locations 50 years on to capture, in his way, that same image.

It was in 1981 that Leigh owned his first SLR camera and his motivation was being a member of the camera club and seeing other peoples images, he has been greatly inspired by the works of internationally known photographers such as Winston Lik, Todd Webb and Ansel Adams to name but a few.

Leigh was born and bred in Pontypridd and uses his home town in many of his images. His talk brought us on a journey through the titles of motivation, inspiration, urban environment, people and candid images, with his own interpretation and often humorous comments and stories on the places and people he has met.

Leigh finished the evening with a taster for a future visit to the club on the subject of ‘Iceland’

Camera club work shops are being held during the summer months and the club will meet again at St Florence Community Hall on 5th September for the 2013-2014 winter programme.
