West Haddon Photo Club
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.
Take a look at our most recent events below and our Programme for this year. For more information about the us go to the About Us page.

September's Theme - Never Mind The Weather - 19th September
As well as the name of our theme for September, 'Never Mind The Weather' could also be an exhortation to go out and take photos in spite of the recent poor conditions.
We photographers are reliant on light for our images and the weather has a direct influence upon this. With that in mind we expect to see our members submit images that show not just weather conditions but also subjects influenced by the weather.
Members are reminded that they are welcome to submit prints in lieu of digital images at this month's Show and Tell.
Weather we see your images will depend if you submit them by 9pm on Wednesday 18th September.
August Challenge
Without a Show and Tell meeting in August we instead issued our members with an August Challenge, which this year is Windows. Recently WindowsTM was in the news for all the wrong reasons, luckily there are plenty of other types to photograph. We'll look at the resulting images when we reboot our meetings on 19th September.
Our themes for 2024 and all our other events are on our 2024 Programme page.
10 years! Where did all the time go? Our 10th anniversary Photo Show is coming up fast and we're in the final stages of planning to make this one a bit more special.
Photo Show will take place in the charming All Saints' church, West Haddon, as usual. Throughout the church there will be an exhibition of prints submitted by photographers from near and far, some of which will be for sale. A display of digital images will play during the opening times of 10am to 5pm and you can get a cuppa and a cake, sit down on a pew to relax and watch it. Admission is free.
This year we've invited the pupils of West Haddon Primary School to submit their images. We'll also be running presentations each day to help you improve your photography.
We also want everyone who visits to vote for their favourite print and digital image - again this year there's a prize of a £20 voucher from Picture Perfect for the ones with the most votes. Last year the image on the right - Twilight Alone by Carl Everitt - was voted the favourite print image.
Members of West Haddon Photo Club will be on hand each day to answer your questions.
Taking Part
It's free to enter so why not submit a print or digital image? You can enter up to three in either category which can be made from 6th September, closing on 26th September. More details and a downloadable Entry Form are on our Photo Show 2024 page. We'd love to see your photos.
If you have any more questions about Photo Show email us at photoshow@whphoto.club.
We kept things simple for our theme for July which was Minimal. There were plenty of images submitted by our members that may have been simple but were still interesting.
Take a look at their photos on July's Members' Images page.
We met up at the University of Northampton Riverside Campus in the early evening to photograph some of the interesting buildings in the area. The River Nene and Becket's Park were just next door, so we had plenty of subjects.
For details of this and our future events in 2024 have a look at our Programme page.
