Visit Your Local Camera Club

I just wanted to give you all a piece of advice that I was given a long time ago, but never took any notice of until now!

As some of you will know, I recently moved to Bridgwater in Somerset.

When I was back in london, the local camera club was about a 45 minute drive away, so, although I always planned to attend, I never ended up going. After a long day at work, it really didn’t seem that important to take this extra time, once a week.

Any way, now that I’ve moved home, my local Camera Club is close-by, so I attended their first meeting of the year yesterday evening.

Well, my only regret was not going to the local camera club in London! Although it was the first night, (according to some the members, the most boring of the year!), I met so many interesting and enthused people, that just being there with them was a joy that I will definitely be partaking in every week from now on.

The different levels of photographer that surround you is amazing…. some are professionals, some enthusiasts, some beginners, some are just trying to decide whether to buy themselves a camera, but the one thing they all have in common, is their drive to learn whatever they can and their willingness to share their own experiences for the benefit of everyone attending.

So, the moral…..

Google your local camera club (if you don’t know where it is already) and get your ‘ass’ down there NOW!! You won’t regret it
