Tonight Wakefield Camera Club will be holding an informative and very useful evening on printing ... with a purpose. The Wakefield Camera Club Print Exhibition has been missing from the clubs programme for a couple of years due to covid! With the restrictions being lifted, this year will see the return of the exhibition back at the Ridings Shopping centre, so we need to get some prints made and mounted up to look their best but how do members do that! especially when printing has not been as popular in recent yearsWell, this evening will touch on the process of using a Professional Photo Lab for your prints, with the inclusion of print profiles to get the best out of your images.We will then look at the mounting process and how different colours / orientation / location of the aperture can have a different look to your finished image.For those who print at home thinking this may not be for you, it would be useful to hear the benefits of doing your own prints / mounting too, particular cost / time benefits.a really useful evening for those looking to get started in printing / mounting!See you there! ...

This event will be held at Brookhouse Club as normal but due to bidding and payment requirements it will be IN PERSON ONLY rather than a hybrid meeting. Come along and grab a bargain or bring along something you want to sell and join in the fun. ... See MoreSee Less

On Monday 23rd of May we have another club outing to Walton Colliery Nature Park, just a couple of miles south of Wakefield. We will meet up at 6:30pm again in the car park on Shay Lane. NOTE THE EARLIER TIME TO MAKE THE MOST OF THE DAYLIGHT. Despite its name there is no sight of the long-closed colliery, and it now has lakes, heathland and nature reserves. Being close to Wakefield it should allow time for members to get there with plenty of daylight left (if the weather gods are kind to us!). Bring your kit with your best lenses as the weather forecast at the moment is quite good. We look forward to seeing some amazing images.HOW TO GET THERE: Walton Colliery Nature Park is located on the B6378 Shay Lane between Walton and Crofton, the nearest postcode being WF2 6PR. Travelling from Walton, the site is less than a mile from Walton centre and is on the left, about 150mts beyond the first railway bridge. Travelling from Crofton, the site is in about 1 mile and is on the right a few hundred metres beyond another railway bridge. There is a car park which should have plenty of parking. ...

Hi everyone. I hope everyone's had chance to use the Spring Bank Holiday to get out with their camera today - not the best light or sky but we all like a challenge! Seeing as it's Spring I've tried to capture bluebells - at Newmillerdam a couple of days ago and at the Sculpture Park today as you can see. Just a reminder that as today is a Bank Holiday there will be NO MEETING TONIGHT. Next week we will be out at RSPB St Aidens Nature Reserve for a practical evening so look out for details on the calendar, email and here on Facebook. Should be a good evening so come along and give it a go. ... See MoreSee Less

On Monday 25th March Wakefield Camera Club held the latest of John Gardner’s Lights Nights. For those that don’t know already, John is both a club member and a very accomplished professional photographer. Each time he brings a lighting setup and a model to demonstrate the effects of various lighting setups. Everyone there gets plenty of opportunity to photograph the model thereby directly benefitting from John’s skills and knowledge. This time he demonstrated what can be achieved with just one light and an umbrella. A couple of images by members from the evening show what can be done with one light. There was plenty of time to chat to him on a one-to-one basis and get an assessment of their shots. As usual a great evening and if you missed this one try not to miss the next. ... See MoreSee Less
