Club Meetings
Critique Evening
On 28th January we will hold another Critique Evening. These evenings are always popular with members as we invite a WCPF Judge along to give a critique and some useful advice and pointers on digital images submitted to him.
This year we will welcome Alan Denison who asks not to be seen as a judge for the evening as we are not holding a competition. Alan will assess images against what each photographer has indicated they would like to use the image for.
An evening not to be missed for anyone wishing to improve their photography.
Shoot A Theme Competition
On 14th January we held our Shoot a Theme Competition. This years theme was “Homes, or parts of homes constructed by man or the animal kingdom.
As always this was an enjoyable evening with members choosing the winner by voting for their favourite image.
Mat Phillips had an exceptional evening coming first and second with his images entitled 'Clutter' and 'Welcome'.
It now falls to Mat to chose the theme for next years Shoot A Theme Competition
Photoshoots
RSPB Ham Wall – Winter Birds.
On 25th January 2025 members of SBACC will attend RSPB Ham Wall for an afternoon wildlife shoot. At this time of year there is a strong possibility of witnessing a large murmuration as the startling’s settle into the reed beds for the night.
The reserve will also be hosting a lot of wintering birds at this time of year, and with the reeds being cut back they will be easily observed from the paths that run through the reserve
This is a great opportunity to practice nature photography or even just to witness one of natures great spectacles. Family and friends are very welcome to join us for this afternoons walk around one of the Uks top wildlife reserves
Sherborne- Night Shoot
On Monday 2nd December members of Sherborne Bradford Abbas Camera Club met outside Sherborne Abbey and enjoyed an evening exploring and photographing the town. Unfortunately due to landscape works taking place the Abbey was out of bounds photographically, but there were opportunities around the town to capture images of the Christmas decrations.
Images from the evening can be found at https://www.sbacameraclub.co.uk/gallery/photoshoot-galleries
Workshops
From time to time SBACC will offer workshops to members. These will be led by a locally respected photographer or club member who will guide each photographer through the day and explain to them how to improve their skills.
