Welcome to Sevenoaks Camera Club's web site
Did you get photo equipment for Christmas? Come along to the Camera Club to get more from your hobby.
Sevenoaks Camera Club's aim is to encourage photography and to help our members to make better pictures. We are photographers of all abilities, from relative beginners to very experienced, from around Sevenoaks.
We're not concerned about what camera you use, it's the photo that's important. For example, good pictures taken on compacts have done well at our Club, including being commended in our exhibitions. And the Print of the Year in our 2010-11 season was taken on real transparency film (then printed digitally).
We hope our website will give you an outline of what we do and that you think about coming along. You are welcome to attend a few meetings to try us out before deciding to join.
Our activities
We have about 25 meetings a year, between September and May. The programme includes:
- talks by well known visiting photographers (from Kent or further afield) who show their work and explain their techniques
- regular
competitions for prints and digitally projected photos
- pictures are assessed and commented upon by external judges
- evenings run by members for members, either showing their photos or talking about some practical aspect of photography
- contests against other local camera clubs, and taking part in Kent County events
To complement our meetings, we have started a Google Group, for paid-up members, on which discussions can be started and followed on topics relevant to photography and the Club. It can be accessed via the link on the navigation panel to the left.
In summer 2011 the Club published a book of members' photos. See it - and buy a copy if you wish - on Blurb
Have a look at these pages, and we hope they encourage you to come along. You do not have to join immediately - you are welcome to attend a few meetings to try us out before deciding to join. (But we do ask that you join please before entering any pictures in our competitions.) If you want further information, feel free to mail us from the Contact Us page shown in the navigation menu on the left.
We look forward to welcoming you!
If you find the Club's site useful and would like to tell a friend in the Sevenoaks area about it, you can do so with a pre-formatted message - to which you can add their email address - when you use this link to open your email program
