2nd September
The brand new season of Tenby Camera Club started on the 2nd September with a welcome meeting, giving details of the fabulous programme ahead . The club is operating solely on Zoom for the full season, no winter journeys to a club house, just maybe a trip to the kitchen to get a drink. Full of new and interesting speakers, competitions and workshops, it must be tempting to join the club for only £30. All the details of the programme and membership form are on the website .

The first of the speakers to entertain members was Roger Hance with his “All the gear and no idea” talk. A very qualified photographer, he captivated the audience with fabulous photographs, lots of useful hacks and helpful guidance on techniques.
Wending a way throughout the British Isles from the Farne Islands to Black Country Museum, all styles of imagery were discussed. Advice on shooting through wire fences was valuable, illustrated with Brands Hatch images. Landscapes, portraits and wildlife were all featured with lots of valuable and relevant tips, from planning the location to using all the available features your camera has hidden in the menu. He gave nifty pointers on post processing, showing before and after examples.
Roger was a skilled and accomplished speaker who delivered a very thought provoking and beneficial presentation.
On the 16th September members were joined by Carmarthenshire Photographer Graham Harries . A regular speaker to Tenby Camera Club, his talk this time was in 2 halves . The first session was “Lost Carmarthenshire” . Taking us on a journey throughout his home county ,Graham illustrated his passion for old, derelict but fascinating buildings. With the owners’ permissions, we discovered through Graham’s images some unique and extraordinary houses, chapels and mansions. Sometimes hidden by nature, the past life of a building was given a rare airing, with Graham bringing to life it’s story and history. Luxurious detail of plasterwork, arches, windows was surprising and emotive . Rather sad to see but all from another era.
His second talk was “Eye in the Sky”, an engrossing journey via Graham’s Drone photography . Useful suggestions and advice on setting up with a drone , from what to buy, regulations, registration and using the device. Viewpoints of familiar places and buildings, from Stack Rock Fort to Tata Steel works gave a refreshing experience from the normal . There were many images from low levels and up high making a change from the conventional photos seen.
As you can see from these 2 talks, there is a variety of styles and techniques to stimulate the brain and inspire you to get out there with your camera or phone . Why not join in the fun?
Next week, on the 23rd September TenbyCamera Club is holding it's annual Battle . Lots of very interesting photos to be seen from the 9 clubs partaking.
