On the 4th July, Wakefield Camera Club will be having a table top evening for members. There will be several different set-ups to try your hand at (lighting, mini studios, different subjects etc.) with members on hand to give guidance. We have been fortunate enough to host some fantastic speakers in recent years (Donna Crous, Justin Garner) offering an insight to these simple yet very creative techniques that members can try at home, so this evening we can look to replicate this.This will be a Practical Evening so do bring your camera / tripod and also a set up or subject if you want to try something a bit different to what’s on offer!Looking forward to seeing you there! ...

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! ...

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. ...
