Welcome

Welcome to the web site of 'Snappers'. We are self help group of photographers.

We welcome everyone - all ages, levels of experience and with no limits in terms of catchment area.

We don't claim to be experts, but we enjoy trying and learning together. We have been pleased to welcome several new members recently and numbers at meetings average around 26 these days.

We meet at 1.30pm on the first Friday afternoon of each month. You are welcome to arrive a little earlier if you would like to have a chat with the leader of our group. The next meeting will be on Friday 7th February 2025. We will be holding our 2025 competition. All entries to be brought on the day. See rules here.

In January we held our AGM and read the minutes please click here. We learned the details of a group trip to the museums of Tuxford on Friday 11th April, which are in the minutes.

There was a discussion about ideas for other trips during the year and this will be explored in more detail later.

Member, Paul Lancaster, gave a demonstration of some of the tools and techniques he uses in Lightroom. This was very well received and members indicated they would like more in the future.

Before we critiqued the pictures from the challenge to 'Photograph an Egg', there were two print presentations

Please will anyone bringing prints also bring a stick with the images on it so that we can collect them for the gallery on this site.

Our venue for hall-based meetings is: Beckingham Village Hall, Southfield Lane, Beckingham, Doncaster, DN10 4QA

Please check the web site before attending in case of last minute changes. They will be posted here if at all possible.

Photography Challenge Topic

Congratulations to those who embraced the Egg challenge. It was a fascinating selection and everyone is to be congratulates particularly on the imagination on display. As one member said, 'a truly eggstraordinary afternoon'. Some of the results can be seen in the gallery.

The current challenge remains to photograph an egg for the benefit of those unable to bring their work in January. The next opportunity to critique them will be in March. There are no rules. Use your imagination and bring your images to tell us what you did.

If you are bringing digital images to show at any time, please create one separate folder on your stick marked with the month they will be shown. If you are including two sets, please make a labelled sub folder for each set (not for each image) and save your images to the relevant one. Please include your own name in the title of each image (e.g. fred smith motorcycle.jpg) to ensure you get the credit for any that are used in publicity. If you can find a way to mark your name on your stick, it would speed the loading process at the start. Thank you.

If anyone has any ideas for challenges or subjects for our afternoon meetings, please let John know or bring your suggestions to the meeting.
