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.

In November we held an Extraordinary General Meeting to discuss the rules and guidance for our annual competition. The discussion is summarised as a revised document on the Competition page.

Our next monthly meeting takes place on Friday 6th December. We will critiquing the pictures from the table top practical photography sessions in November. These may be digital or prints. Please also bring your images from our current challenge. As there were several candles in evidence at the tabletop event, it sems likely there coule be some overlap. It would be helpful if members could put two folders on their digital sticks labelled Nov Tabletop and Nov Challenge to make it easier to distinguish them when sticks are handed in.

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 '10 photo' challenge. Some of the results can be seen in the gallery.

The new challenge is in two parts:

1. Photograph a single candle either lit or not. 
2. Using that candle, create a second image using it as a light source. If you wish the candle can be included in the image.

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.
