All types of photographer are welcome: from absolute beginners to professionals, and from digital shooters to large format film buffs. We have a very active programme along with our forums where members discuss their photography and advise each other. As a society, we are focused on the final image and this is represented by our critique section in the forum and our informal competitions where members set topics and judge each others work.
