Inverness Camera Club

Welcome to Inverness Camera Club

Inverness Camera Club is made up of a friendly group of photography enthusiasts who meet every Wednesday night from September to April and welcomes anyone with an interest in learning more about the art and science of photography. Each meeting starts at 7.30pm prompt upstairs in Culduthel Christian Centre, Culduthel Avenue, Inverness, IV2 6AS.

Members, who are of a broad age range and ability enjoy a varied and stimulating programme throughout the season of guest speakers, club and external competitions. Practical workshops take place each Monday night and it is through these sessions they enjoy a valuable exchange of ideas with each other.

All exponents of the photographic world are supported with traditional film & print as well as modern digital techniques being well supported.

The club offers a warm and welcoming environment in which you can continue your journey towards photographic excellence - or get on the first step should you be completely new to the world of photography.

Why not come along to our next meeting where members will be on hand to share their experience and help you improve your photographic skills.

Visit From Dingwall Camera Club

Last week Dingwall Camera Club visited us, and three of their members showcased their work in the first half. Phil Downie showed a poignant Audio Visual (AV) show of Croick Church, showing the names engraved in the windows during the clearances of 1845. Next, Bozena Kalejta-Summers showed two AVs about her experiences of bird ringing in the Norwegian Tundra and in the Outer Hebrides. Lastly, John Campbell showed two AVs from his trips to Canada, showing some of the country’s beautiful scenery.

In the second half, Phil Downie returned to show some action-packed sports photographs in his presentation “A View from the Sidelines”. Phil shared many stories (and some secrets) about his images which were taken in the full spectrum of Scottish weather. His fantastic images from a range of sporting events showed that his trigger finger is certainly well exercised!

We can only hope that our return visit to Dingwall Camera Club is as successful as this evening was.

Monthly Competition - October Open

Forty. That is combined score for 2 photographs entered by Jo Davies in Octobers Open competition. She received the perfect scores on the print called “Harvest Mouse” and the projected image called “Male Kingfisher”. Well done to Jo on for 2 outstanding photographs. The two others images she entered also received credits.

Jo’s images obviously made a strong impression on the evening’s judge, Phil Downie. I’d like to thank Phil, on behalf of Inverness Camera Club, for standing in at the last minute to do the judging. His comments were, as always, very constructive. Phil is always welcome at the club, with his friendly personality and interaction with the club members making for a very entertaining evening.

Mike Tibbs and Ricky Fraser both walked away with 4 credits and they take the joined lead in both MacLoed Quaich and Stephens Brae Trophy competitions. With 3 rounds to go this will be interesting to see who the eventual winner is. The competition in the Harvey Shield is equally as tight, with only 1 credit covering the top 4 places and 1 credit behind are another 7 club members.
