New Season for 2021/22

The new season for Ely Photographic Club starts on Wednesday 22 September 2021 at 7.30pm via the Zoom app.

The opening meeting will include a welcome to our new members, as well as a welcome back to existing ones, and a look forward to the exciting new season that we have lined up by going through our programme of events in detail.

We will be talking about what subjects members would like us to cover at the Advanced Photo Group meetings which we hold on the first Thursday of each month.

Later in the meeting we will have a look at some images that members have submitted for critique to give our new members an idea of what judges are looking for in a successful image. read more
