Meetings

Normally we meet on Wednesday evenings from September to May. There are times when we hold our meetings via Zoom around 7.30 p.m. We meet at The Town Hall, St Andrews Road, Exmouth EX8 1AW from September to May. The meetings start promptly at 7.30 p.m. and finish at around 9.30 p.m.

The winter programme includes lectures on techniques, club competitions, projects by members, inter-club League matches, visits from other clubs in the area and distinguished outside speakers showing their work. Any suggestions for lecturers or activities for the Group are welcomed by the Programme Secretary.

Members are encouraged to undertake a project on a subject of interest to them and at the same time broaden their photographic experience. This does not have to be for the whole or half evening, just 15 minutes will suffice, perhaps join up with a more experienced member. In fact members' Project Evenings often give some of the most satisfying evenings in the whole programme.

We socialise in the summer months, including get-togethers and visits to local events which provide photo opportunities. Perhaps this is one of the main reasons we are known locally as "the friendly club".

During the winter season we run some special evenings, all of which will be in the Winter Programme. These meetings will be held at Pilgrim Room, Glenorchy Church, Exeter Road, Exmouth. EX8 IPL or via Zoom.

IMG (Image Makers Group)

”A group aimed at encouraging members to get the best out of their images whether printed or projected. This can include advice on composition, subject matter, processing and editing techniques, printing advice, quality issues or indeed anything suggested by the membership. In addition it can also be a forum for simply sharing our images but we will also offer critique on both print and digital images. Members may also occasionally be encouraged to work towards producing club entries for external competitions”. A small attendance charge, currently £4 per member, is made to cover the cost of room hire, tea / coffee and biscuit.

Audio Visual Group

Our Audio Visual Group meets Monthly on Zoom to encourage members to produce AV sequences, a dynamic and creative way to display your photographs. This short video shows some of the techniques that can be used: https://youtu.be/6-AYOkSsWXc?is=M0dOlry6oSoVnDyy

During the season our meetings cover tutorials, showings of members' work, and talks by AV experts from the UK and abroad, and an international battle against other AV groups.

WE also organise the Jurassic Coast International AV Salon, an annual competition that has grown to be come the largest AV festival in the world.
