Bramhall U3A - Photography

The Photography Group exists to encourage everyone interested in the subject to improve their skills and experience. At our meetings we enjoy talks on topics illustrating photographic techniques, technical details and artistic considerations. We also learn from each other by sharing photos that the members take for each month's special photo theme (such as trees, motion, indoors, morning...).

One key activity is our photo outings which we do several times a year. With a theme or activity in mind we support each other while taking photos at locations such as Media City, Stockport Market and Bramhall Hall. Then we review our work on-line and in meetings so that we can learn from the successes and failures of everyone.

Our members range in skill from new starters who wish to improve beyond being mobile phone "snappers" to experienced photograpahers with awards and prizes. The one thing we all have in common is the desire to share and benefit from everyone's knowledge and experience.

If you enjoy taking photos and would like to learn more please come along and join us.

The group has had a successful and active year. Membership has grown to 23 and monthly meetings normally draw an audience of 12-16. We have enjoyed technical lectures from members on wideranging topics such as composition, macrophotography and taking control of your camera, in addition to displaying members' photographs on selected monthly topics. We have been on Group outings to Vernon Park, Marple Locks and Stockport town centre with a night expedition to Salford Quays to share experiences in photography. We have also further developed our private web-based photo and information sharing platform into a valuable tool to exchange information and to maintain momentum between meetings. David Pechey
