We believe that everyone should take photographs that they like, and that they should process them in whatever way they like. However, we often revisit old images and process them differently when we see them again, and other people, viewing your images at these meetings, might see them differently and bring a new perspective to them. Importantly, it shows that there are many ways to ‘skin a cat’ and that there are no ‘right answers’. At the end of the day, it is up to the photographer whether to take others’ ideas on board – or not!
We usually run a couple of such evenings, sharing our photographs and ideas. One is often in-person, and the other on Zoom. They are friendly and supportive evenings; there is no ‘judging’, just constructive feedback and discussion of images and ideas.
The format varies, but in the upcoming 2026/27 season, we have two in-person evenings planned:
- A regular ‘Show-and-Tell’ in the first half of the season, for members to describe and discuss their current interests and projects.
- A second evening following the Annual Exhibition, which allows members to view some of the excellent exhibition images. It provides the opportunity for members to ask questions and to find out more about the inspiration behind other people’s images.
