About Us
Of course, being a camera club, the thing that binds us together is a common interest in photography, and the practice of photography. That goes without saying. But this alone doesn't tell you very much about the kind of people we are, or give you any way to assess whether Horndean Camera Club is somewhere that you would feel at home. There are many camera clubs and photographic societies in the south of England, and many of them achieve a very high level of photographic excellence. Unfortunately, all too often, this is realised in an atmosphere of stuffy formality. There are also many clubs that are a pleasure to visit because the air of friendliness and informality that they exude makes the experience a joy. However, this comradeship often eats away at the competitive edge that produces the best photographic work. So, then, it is a question of balance. Here at Horndean we believe that we have found the secret, and it can best be expressed thus: "We take our photography seriously, without taking ourselves seriously at the same time". Don't be afraid - come on in!![]() Starting with the 2009/10 season we have, regrettably, ceased to work with film; it is sad to see an era pass in which many of us served our apprenticeship but we have embraced the new digital technology with great enthusiasm and, together, have gathered a wealth of expertise. So you won't find a better place to advance your own photographic skills. Of course, with the spread of digital photography we are attracting new members who have been photographers for many years, but have had their enthusiasm rekindled by the new technology. To these people we say 'Welcome! Come in and show us what you can do.' What do we do?![]()
So we hope that we have interested you in Horndean Camera Club. We are friendly, we are not stuffy, and we have a lot of fun. Come along and help to keep it that way! For more information, please contact our Secretary or Chair We look forward to seeing you. |
