This friendly group meets monthly on the 4th Thursday between 2:00 pm and 4:30 pm in Balsall Common Village Hall. Members contribute £4.00 per meeting to cover its costs. Our members have a wide range of knowledge, experience, equipment and photographic interests. The one common factor is that we want to learn more about photography from each other with the aim of taking and presenting better pictures. We use cameras ranging from mobile phones, compact digital to complex single lens reflex ones. Some members know little about 'f stops' or 'shutter speeds' (although they can easily learn about them if they want). What we do is enjoy being together and being inspired to improve our photographs. Normally we share our photographs on a different theme each month and talk about them along the lines of what went well and what improvements could be made. Our meetings are kept low key but can be really helpful. For a different perspective, we invite an external judge on a quarterly basis, to assess and provide feedback on our photos. Presentations on techniques are also given by members and invited guests. Once a month a day out, Walking With My Camera, is arranged to take photos in a different location while learning and improving techniques from each other. A selection of images is shown at each meeting. Members’ photos can be viewed on the national u3a website (u3a Eye & u3a Found In Nature) and twice a year at an exhibition in the Balsall Common Library You do not need to have reached any particular standard to join, just the desire to take photographs and have fun while learning. If this interests you, please email Jim Melville: photography@balsallcommonu3a.org and provide him with a telephone contact number.   Photography Group Programme for 2025 Photography Group Picture Galleries Photography Group Members Page   Photography Groups — 2023 Exhibitions held at Balsall Common Library January July Photography Groups — 2024 Exhibitions held at Balsall Common Library January   Return To Top
