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 are always pleased to welcome new members. 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 in the hall will be on Friday 4th October 2025. We will be looking at more of our own work, but this time there is no theme. You are invited to bring a selection of your favourite photos to share.

Ideas and offers to help with meeting topics, challenges or outings for the group are always encouraged. Also please give some thought to whether you could take over from John as leader. We need to share the load.

At the September meeting had a bumper selection of images. The club was well represented among the many who went to record the demolition of the cooling towers at Cottam Power Station. Doddington Hall had provided the usual wide selection of sculptures for members to photograph and some had also taken the opportunity to go inside this time and brought shots from that. Thirdly there was a good response to the 'Pictures from a Walk' challenge. We were also fortunate to have three different and interesting print presentations. A selection of members' images in all categories now appear on the gallery page.

Please will anyone bringing prints to show at any meeting 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

The current challenge is:- Take a walk and take 6 - 10 images as you go'. The images will be shown at the meeting in October.

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 more than one set, 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.
