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 2nd May 2025. Please come with ideas for outings for the group with photography in mind. We will have a discussion.

Dik Allison will be doing a demo of GIMP - free software which does mush of what is available with PhotoShop and is now available in a much improved new version.

Since our last meeting, we have had a successful day photographing in the Museums of Tuxford. We would like to thank both the Museum of the Horse and the Walks of Life Museum for their welcome, hospitality and flexibility. Thanks also to Chillipetals of Tuxford for an excellent lunch in the new conference room attached to the Museum of the Horse.

Please will members remember to bring A4 prints with them in May to give to the Walks of Life for World Photography Day when they will display them. There is also a prize for the image the Museum of the Horse like best to advertise the museum.

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 new challenge is:- Textures. You are welcome to interpret this as you wish. The images will be discussed at the June meeting and a not exposed to a judge!

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.
