Est: 1891. Serving photography in Wakefield and District for 131 years.
But first, throw your minds back a few weeks and you may remember that we organised an early evening trip to Brockadale, a popular Yorkshire Wildlife Trust reserve near Pontefract. Unfortunately, the rain gods conspired, and the visit had to be postponed. I’m happy to say the second attempt was successful and the visit …
Peter reports on last Monday’s socially distanced evening out:- Monday 10th May saw the first outing of club members for well over a year. Some 18 members met for a socially distanced walk around the old Walton Colliery site. The weather was very good which is more than can be said for the …
About 25 members enjoyed the spring outing, which this year was too Newmillerdam. Whilst many members captured the gorgeous landscape scenery offered by the lake and surrounding woodland there is no doubt that the focus of the evening was the beautiful Lena, our model, who braved the cold and spent the evening giving …
Unfortunately I wasn’t able to go on the Anglesey trip but here’s a report from Steve Wood (who seems to have organised it brilliantly) and some images in a gallery at the bottom. On Friday the 5th October, Members of WCC descended on the beautiful Isle of Anglesey for a short trip to …
The evening of Monday 17th September saw about 25 members of the club going out to the Thorneycroft Centre in Pontefract for an evening of photographing birds of prey with Kira from KL Falconry. Kira had chosen this location as there was plenty of room to fly the birds, there would be less wind …
The evening of Monday 23rd April saw Erica Oram journey over from her home in Sheffield to give us an entertaining talk entitled “Seeing Opportunity”.

Monday 26th March saw around a dozen members meet up for the Spring Outing. Due to a mix up in times, the event was changed at very late notice to be an evening shoot in nearby Huddersfield. Members met just before 7pm in front of the fantastic Railway Station in the centre of town, …
On Monday evening 27th March the club paid a visit to Sandal BMW, the area’s largest independent BMW dealer for an evening of photographic fun capturing images of very desirable cars. About 25 members appeared for the session, which included access to the Mini showroom next door, all equipped with their gear ready …
Some more images have been added to the gallery from the “Dark” evening outing. This time they’re from Ian Waddington who remarked it was “probably one of the most fun camera club evenings I’ve attended”. Quite a few of us who went would echo that sentiment. Here’s the new, updated gallery.
On the evening of Monday 28th September about 20 members journeyed out from the club on a novel practical photoshoot. The aim was to find a dark place (i.e. no street lights etc.) so we all met at Old Park Farm near Stanley Ferry. It was a set of disused, dilapidated farm buildings …
