Deepings Camera Club is affiliated to the:
DEEPINGS CAMERA CLUB
Developing Awareness of the Art of Photography.
The club offers a warm welcome to all with an interest in photography.
Whether you are a complete beginner or advanced worker, you will find something of interest, and a warm friendly atmosphere.
With the rapid growth in Digital Photography, the club fully embraces the new technology.
Our monthly Practical Mondays will be on many subjects over the year. The first will consider how to mount and display work in a variety of ways for the monthly competitions and other exhibitions. Others may be about Photoshop techniques or portraiture or anything else; the choice is ours.
The regular league competitions serve both to educate and entertain, and are great fun.
Whilst we draw on visiting speakers from all over, we also have a num-ber of very experienced members who will give talks on their specialist subjects.
Everyone in the club is willing to help the beginner by sharing their own experience and knowledge.

INSPIRATION
The Zen of Photography
KISS → Keep It Simple and Subtle! -
remove distractions, compose with minimalist approach, keep it
SUBTLE.
Greg du Toit
A camera's ability to record a moment so brief that it often cannot
be remembered, is what makes a still image such a special treasure.
Ansel Adams
The negative is a musical score and the print is the performance.
David Clapp, musician and photographer
When someone starts out in music ... they end up playing songs to
get them going; it's the same with a camera; when you first pick it
up, you look at what other people have shot before you and shoot
similar images; when it works out, you feel great and there's noth-
ing wrong with that; then you can start to develop/create your own
vision.
Niall Benvie
You might ask why any of this matters, and wonder what's wrong
with making copies of photos you like by other people. If you're
content to work as a human photocopier that's fine, but, you're put-
ting yourself down, allowing others to speak for you.
