are often very well suited to
mono conversions, and this is
no exception.74have had acceptances in international club
exhibitions, such as The Smethwick
International Exhibition of Photography. And at
least one has been published in Amateur
Photographer, Outdoor Photography and other
magazines. Another has sold images for book
covers. The Group participates in the Chilterns
Association of Camera Clubs (CACC) Rosebowl
competition each season, plus the other CACC
competitions each spring.
How many members do you have?
At the moment we have about 40.
Do you invite guest speakers?
Yes, from the CACC or local experts and
professionals. We like to provide variety and
cover a range of subjects and techniques.
Are any residential trips or outings
planned?
We tend to have had ad hoc outings in recent
years, as there’s usually a core group that are
the main outing attendees. Groups of
members have taken trips to the Black
Country Museum and a Festival of Transport,
for instance.What are the club’s goals for the future?
The club will continue along the same lines of
sharing photos and inspirations, with talks
both external and internal, workshops and
competitions, including stimulating themes.
We are happy to welcome new members at
any time. We’re also collaborating with other
Kidlington groups in how we can use our
photographs in the community.
