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 and rising 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 September 2026. Tom Coulson will be giving a demo of his technique for creating interesting abstracts from an image. He will also set the next challenge.

Before that members will be meeting informally on Wednesday 26th August at 1.30pm at Doddington Hall near Lincoln to photograph the Sculpture exhibition and enjoy a cuppa together afterwards.

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.

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

Images of Hands will still be welcome at the September meeting, but the majority of the time will be spent on our photos from the Doddington trip and after we have enjoyed Tom's presentation and asked questions. There will be handouts for this.

If you are bringing digital images, please create a new folder each month on your stick marked with the name of the month. 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 accordingly. 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. Please mark your name on your stick to help 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.
