We’re a friendly group of people who enjoy photography and meet regularly to show and talk about our photos, with no judging or competitions.
If you want to improve your photo skills, come along to one of our meetings – you’ll be made welcome, and 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.
There’s no Show and Tell meeting in August, instead we have an August Challenge. This is a bit of fun – we’re asking our members to choose three photos they make between the July and September Show and Tell meetings on the subject of A Grand Day Out. We’ll show these photos during September’s meeting, whose subject is…
Light(s) – without light we wouldn’t have photography, noctography, perhaps? We’re asking our members to submit up to three images using or about light or lights. Sunlight, moonlight, light beams, street lights, table lamps – they’re all valid, and we’re sure our members will be inventive. This month members can submit up to three prints in lieu of digital images.
You need to see the light in time to submit your images by 9pm on Wednesday 16th September – either upload to Dropbox or by email to members@whphoto.club.
All our future themes and our other events are on 2026 Programme page.
These days it’s more unusual not to have a smartphone and one of the more popular uses is as a camera.
As the founder and creative director of Jet Black Squares, Jet Lendon recognises this and she has a passion for showing people how to obtain the best photos from their phone.
Her Smartphone Photography talk will help us to understand just what is achievable with these capable devices, illustrated with some of her superb photos.
We met on Thursday evening at Braunston Marina for one of our photo walks.
There was plenty to photograph here: the marina, the canal and locks and, slightly further afield, St. Peter’s church, adjacent to the abandoned village of Wolfhamcote. It was no surprise that we split into groups, each pursuing the subjects that interested them the most.
We were blessed with a fine evening; the sun shone in a hazy sky with a few thin clouds. We were lucky to have some great light near sunset, providing some golden tones on the already yellow grass.
Inevitably we worked up a thirst during the walk and we met up at the Admiral Nelson afterwards, talking for some time. It was like Click and Natter on tour.
The fortunate people who attended the excellent talk by Paul Sanders a few months ago will have been provided some inspiration for this month’s theme, Stillness.
With everything seemingly screaming for one’s attention we hoped this theme would offer some respite. Simplicity, minimalism, balance, symmetry are all techniques to convey stillness and calm, in both photography and our lives.
The members’ favourite theme image perfectly captured stillness and was Jane Weston’s restful Not a Breath of Air.To see all the other images, including those submitted for our Print and Image of the Month sections, head on over to the Stillness page.
Which one would you have voted for?
Carol has been obsessed about photography since her 20’s and her website showcases some of her projects. She is a Fujifilm Ambassador but she framed her engaging and entertaining talk ‘My kit and how I use it’ in a way that can be applied to all makes of cameras.
Some of our members have been on photowalks that she’s led and have said how much they enjoyed themselves. We certainly enjoyed her talk.
