Robin Hoods Bay, Victorian Weekend 23 – Photo Walk
Unfortunately, due to uncertain weather likely to affect travel to Robin Hood’s Bay and potentially be icy underfoot on the coast, we have decided to cancel the Robin Hoods Bay, Victorian themed weekend Photo Walk in the interest of safely.
Paul Mitchell: The Seeing Eye
Paul is a creative photographer and graphic designer, and we are delighted to welcome him back to his native Yorkshire.
In his talk, ‘The Seeing Eye’, he will take us through the importance of looking beyond the obvious, generating interest by focusing on details, textures and shapes, both in nature and the man-made world. Paul will also explain various creative techniques such as intentional camera movement and multiple exposures through to the use of creative lenses and filters.
Visitors are welcome (£5) and should contact Julia for more information or to book a place.
Deck the halls! @ noon
This year, as we approach Christmas, we have planned a day of festive photography with not one but two social get-togethers.
We hope that you will join us for this special Christmas Cuppa & Capture on Monday 11 December. It is a great opportunity for socialising, so do come and enjoy the company of fellow members, either for lunch and a chat at York Theatre Royal from noon as usual for a Cuppa & Capture outing, or if you’re busy during the day, from 5 pm for a warming glass of mulled wine or a mug of hot chocolate and perhaps a bite to eat under cover in the warmth and festive atmosphere of the Thor’s Tipi in the Museum Gardens. Partners are more than welcome to come along too, of course.
Deck the halls! @ 5 pm
This year, as we approach Christmas, please join fellow members and partners on Monday 11 December for a day of festive photography with not one but two social get-togethers.
We hope that you will join us for this special evening outing (like a Cuppa and Capture but later in the day and without the cuppa). This year’s festive theme is ‘Deck the halls’, and you can take your photos either before or after meeting up for a drink and a chat.
It is a great opportunity for socialising, so do come and enjoy the company of fellow members from 5 pm for a warming glass of mulled wine or a mug of hot chocolate and perhaps a bite to eat under cover and in the warmth and festive atmosphere of the Thor’s Tipi in the Museum Gardens. The Tipi is open all day, so you can arrive from 5 pm or whenever you can get there (earlier or later).
If you’d prefer, you can meet up with our regular Cuppa and Capturers for lunch and a chat at York Theatre Royal from noon – or why not do both…?
It’s a Christmas Knockout, 2023
Christmas is coming, and it’s time to look forward to our annual light-hearted knock-our competition.
Halldor Jonnson: WOW air
Halldor is an Icelandic landscape photographer as well as a pilot, and he loves nothing more than taking visitors on an aerial tour of his homeland. He’s considering changing the name of his air tours to WOW air because that’s the response he gets from all of his passengers.
He loves to talk about and share his passion for photography. He always strives to take a better shot from both land and air, whether it’s with his mirrorless camera, drone or phone. Luckily for him, he gets to visit and revisit the country’s scenes at the prime times, whether that is a volcanic eruption, the Aurora Borealis in spectacular light show mode, or the ever-changing intricate and abstract patterns and wonderful tones of the sands and waters created by Iceland’s rivers.
Visitors are welcome (£5) and should contact Julia for more information or to book a place.
Rusty
You may be feeling a bit rusty after the festive break, so here’s a subject to get you up and running again.
You can find rust everywhere and, according to Canadian American singer-songwriter Neil Young, it “Never Sleeps”. Your challenge is to seek out objects that are rusty but also have photographic interest. There are plenty of things to consider, including its colours, associated textures and shapes, as well as the impact it has on the object itself.
No pets, cowboys or rust for rust’s sake, and we hope that you enjoy the first photographic outing of the new year!
Simplicity
We all know the old adage ‘keep it simple…..’, well here’s the opportunity to apply that to your photography!
