Camera Club Meeting 20th May 2014
At the last meeting before the summer break, we had a display of the current Theme photos – A Good Day Out. Andrew James gave advice and comments on these, which included the Brancaster Outing pictures.
The next get together will be an Exhibition to coincide with the Open Garden at Acre End on July 13th, in the School Hall. This will be a display of our favourite photos on all subjects.
At the next meeting on Sept 16th, the speaker will be Robin Stewart who will give a talk on Food Photography. Further details will be posted nearer the time.

Brancaster Staithe Camera Club Outing on Sunday May 11th
A group from the club enjoyed a wonderful “day of weather” Travelling from Luffenham at 7am and returning early evening, we went through down pouring rain, gusts of wind, and sand blows and even intervals of sunshine.
Andrew James led the group to different locations and projects throughout the day, including a local pub lunch. The thought of sitting in cars eating our sandwiches didn’t have a great appeal!
We began at the Staithe beach with all manner of boats, fishing boats, rowing boats which looked as if they had been there for a few generations, elegant yachts and all manner of outworn machinery, ropes and chains. Stacks of lobster pots and piles of junk brought a different dimension to our pictures – certainly out of our comfort zone.
Moving along the beach to the breakwater, there were spectacular storm clouds, windsurfers and blowing sand.
The dunes along the coast at Brancaster contained many half buried beach huts and with the marram grass sparkling in the sunshine resulted in great pictures.
Andrew gave lots of help individually, as well as group teach-ins, we all found the day so rewarding. Grateful thanks go to him from all – it was a splendid balance of learning and fun.
Although it sounds as though the weather was against us, we have all done the “beach in sunshine” photos. This Sunday brought lots of dramatic scenes and extended our knowledge of how to set up for them.
Some of the photos will be displayed at the next Camera Club meeting on Tuesday, May 20th at 8pm in the Community Centre, North Luffenham School, the theme being A Good Day Out. Everyone is very welcome to come along.
Andrew’s Website is well worth a visit. Go to – andrewjamesphotos.co.uk

November Camera Club Meeting Notes
The November meeting saw the return of speaker Andrew James.
Andrew has many years experience as a photojournalist and is now branching out into his own business.
He showed a tremendous variety of his photographs which were discussed with the theme of Composition.
He gave us a photographers eye view, breaking down each one into the elements which had “worked”.
There were many questions from the floor and we extended our usual two hours!
All interests and individual queries were covered and we finished the evening with Andrew looking over our own pictures of “Natural Patterns” and giving us pointers on what had worked and what we could do to add impact.
