About us
Come and join us!
The Buckingham Camera Club was formed in 1979 out of a desire to promote
photography in
the Buckingham and Winslow areas.
The club now numbers more than 60 photographers with many and varied
specialities:
aviation, natural history, digital imaging, ink jet printing, special
effects, table-top, portrait,
landscape, still-life, figure studies, candid and abstract - you name it
and we have a member
involved in it!
The Club is affiliated to the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain (PAGB)
through the
Chilterns Association of Camera Clubs (CACC). This gives us access to
speakers and judges from a wide geographical area and enables us to participate in
competitions in which we often
score highly.
The programme is roughly divided into five types of evening:
Competition nights, when members submit their current work to a
competent and independent
judge and are awarded marks which accumulate to the Photographer of the
Year competition.
Practical evenings, when we photograph a subject or a special effect.
(There are SOME clubs
where you never see a camera!!)
Casual evenings when we just meet and discuss our latest projects and
share our skills with
our fellow photographers. These are ideal for the beginner or the
new member.
Speakers. We invite an expert to give an illustrated lecture on a
specialist subject.
Social event: several times in the year we are able to get together with
a Christmas party, a
Barbeque, Garden Party or an informal supper.
Guests welcome.
In addition there are occasional weekend workshops, Sunday trips and
extra evenings in the
week to visit other clubs.
There is we think, a well balanced programme for everyone's interest be
it monochrome,
colour print, projected colour , audio visual or digital manipulation.
Membership of the club is currently £30.00 per year and entitles you to
attend each of the
weekly meetings. (works out at just 60p per week!). We have
lighting equipment, a studio
background, slide copier, various projectors and screens, ring-flash and
other equipment for
hire to members only.
Membership also entitles you to take advantage of our communal gadgets
and accessories.
Interested? Come and join us!
