We’re a friendly group of people who enjoy photography and meet regularly to show and talk about our photos.
Come along to one of our meetings – you’ll be made welcome, and if you want to improve your photo skills we’ll be happy to offer help and encouragement.
See below for our upcoming and most recent events or take a look at our Programme for this year. For more information about the club go to the About Us page.
We welcomed in 2026 with our first theme of the New Year – Pointed
Our members were invited to submit images of almost any subject as long as they’re pointy or pointing, ‘cos was the, er, point of the theme.
The beauty of themes like this is they’re so open to interpretation, so we had a wide variety of subjects, Who knew there were so many pointy things around us?
The members’ favourite photo was Icicles by Alastair Bell (left).
To see all the other images, including those submitted for our Image of the Month section, head on over to the Pointed – January 2026 page.
Which one would you have voted for?
For our first Knowledge Night of the year we were fortunate to have had a talk by Martine Hamilton-Knight, a renowned architectural photographer and Senior Lecturer at Nottingham Trent University.
For more details about her talk have a look at our Featured Events page.
For details of our other forthcoming events take a look at our 2026 Programme page.
Often in surprising places and sometimes taking strange forms, sculptures and monuments are our theme this month.
It’s estimated in the UK of statues depicting historical figures over 80% were of males, will our members’ images reflect this?
This month is one of our bimonthly opportunities for members to submit up to 3 prints in lieu of digital images.
Don’t have feet of stone – submit your images by 9pm on Wednesday 18th February – either upload to Dropbox or by email to members@whphoto.club.
All our future themes and our other events are on 2026 Programme page.
When the available light is inadequate, you’ll need to contemplate the use of artificial lighting. There are many options available to photographers, so many in fact that this talk will be split into two, with the second part next year.
To guide us through this subject Tony Teague and David Kallmeier explained to members the techniques and equipment required to get the best from the subject you’re trying to photograph. Their talk included an extensive hands-on session to try some of them out. A big thank you to the two ladies from West Haddon Players who volunteered as models for this session.

The Pytchley Inn is a well-known venue in West Haddon and the surrounding area. Not only does it serve excellent food in convivial surroundings, it’s also the location for WHPC’s monthly Click and Natter meetings – a chance to have a chat about photography and other subjects over a cuppa. Oh, and they also sponsor our Photo Show.
This year the Pytchley asked the club if we would take photos in and arround the building. They generously offered a £100 meal and accommodation voucher to the photographer who took their favourite image.
The winner was Pyers Tucker, who took the photo on the left. Well done Pyers, and thank you to the Pytchley Inn.
