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 5th September 2025. Please come with your images of Doddington Hall, the Challenge and the Cottam Tower demolition if you have a really good one. Please only bring your best one as there could be a lot the same! Ideas for 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 August meeting we looked at images taken during the group trip to Brodsworth Hall, where, in addition to the usual attractions of the house and gardens, we were able to photograph some croquet players in action. A selection of members' images 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 new challenge is:- Take a walk and take 6 - 10 images as you go'. The images will be shown in September and October at the meetings along with those from our trip Doddington Hall. See the Programme for details.

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.
