It’s that time of year again! Tenby Camera Club is back into its main season, starting on September 2 and every Thursday evening. The club will continue, as last year, using Zoom for all its presentations, competitions and workshops.

During the summer the club held three competitions to keep the creative juices flowing. They were well supported, both with entries and viewing.

The first was ‘Mobile Phone Photos’, judged excellently by Dave Knight . There were 53 entries of an excellent standard. Melanie Felton was given the Gold Award with her image ‘Tranquility’.

The second was a ‘Portrait’ competition judged skilfully by Peter Wells. Charlie Kidd with his ‘Top Hat’ photo was the Gold Award winner.

The final competition was themed ‘Travel’, judged efficiently by Harry Kingman. Dave Bolton and his “Breakfast Buddies” was the Gold Award.

Membership for the full season ( up to September 2022) is £30 for adults and £15 for under 18s. This is exceptional value as Tenby Camera Club have over 14 presentations covering a diverse and interesting range of photographic material: Sport, wildlife (exotic and local), urban imagery, creativity, drones, landscapes and general help and advice, all find a place in the year. There are lots of competitions, both internal and external (against other clubs) which are useful and engaging. Even if you do not enter yourself, so much can be learnt from the judges’ critiques and it is inspiring to see other members’ work.

September 2, after a welcome back chat and club news, is a reshowing of a presentation from Alyn Wallace: ‘Night Sky Wonders’, a superb talk.

Thursday (September 9) sees Roger Hance, an award winning photographer, give his ‘All The Gear and No Idea’ talk: how to avoid photographic pitfalls and improve your photography - yes, we could all do with a bit of that!

On the 16th Graham Harries presents a double bill: ‘Lost Carmarthenshire’, an insight into derelict buildings in that county, followed by seeing images from a new perspective: ‘Drone Photography’.

Not a bad start to the season!
