Bromley Camera Club members will be meeting up at Richmond Bridge on Saturday 18th February 2012 to photograph the surrounding area.

A short walk up to Kew gardens will follow before a refreshing lunch.

If you would like to come along, please contact us or speak to Val at our next members evening (Thursday 16th Feb.)

Open to Club Members ONLY

On Saturday 11 February we will be holding a workshop on basic photography from 10am to approximately 12.30. This is aimed primarily at newer members who are new to photography other than just “point and shoot”. Precise content will depend on the needs of those attending but are likely to be:

  • Different types of camera for those considering a purchase
  • Basic camera controls – for example why you might want to know about apertures and shutter speeds to control what is or is not in focus and the degree of motion blur
  • Very very basic use of computer to process your images and the different programs available

If you already have an understanding of, for example, what depth of field is and how to control it then this workshop is probably too basic for you.

A separate evening  workshop on preparing PDIs and prints for competition and exhibition entry will be arranged and publicised shortly.

If you wish to come along on 11 February please let Steve Jones know as soon as possible.

This years exhibition will be held in Bromley Central Library from Thursday 17th May to Tuesday 29th May.

Award evening Thursday 18th May, in the Library.

Calling all Artists!

Creative Bromley will be holding an
Open Exhibition and other events in support of
