Basingstoke Camera Club

Website: https://www.basingstokecameraclub.co.uk/

Basingstoke Camera Club (BCC) is an active and long-established club for the promotion, encouragement and enjoyment of all branches of photography. We are a lively and thriving club supporting photographers of all levels from beginner to expert who all share a passion for creating wonderful images. The membership covers a wide range of ages, backgrounds and photographic interests.

Almost everyone enjoys taking photographs these days. However, if you want to develop your skills and take more satisfying photographs, joining a camera club is an excellent step. New members are always very welcome in BCC; come along to a couple of meetings and sample what we have to offer before you decide whether to join.

You don't have to be an 'Expert Photographer' to be welcomed as a member of BCC. All you need is an interest in photography. Our aim is to encourage you to develop your interest and skills, as well as to provide a place to meet a range of friendly people who share your interest. The only equipment you will need is a camera, any camera, and a real interest in taking pictures with it. Nowadays all cameras, from smartphones up to the more expensive cameras for enthusiasts, can take excellent images if you understand how to make best use of what you have. There is a lot of practical help at hand; most members are only too happy to share their expertise.

The Club runs a programme of talks, competitions, practical sessions, outings and social events, with regular weekly meetings from September to May. We meet at Oakridge West Community Centre Thursdays at 7:45. For more details please visit our website.
