Welcome to the Shafton & District Photographic Society website.

_________________________________________________________

The Aim of our society is to promote and teach all aspects of photography in all its forms, from novice to advanced levels, both traditional and computerised to the local community.
This we achieve by having a full and varied programme which runs all year. These include Guest Speakers (covering many different subjects), model nights and trips out with the camera taking great photos. The society is always prepared and willing to attend any function i.e. Gala’s, Schools and any other place to further the interest of photography.

The society is open to all and is always looking to attract new members. The society is also affiliated to the Yorkshire Photographic Union.

The Club fees are £10.00 per year membership and £2.00 per weekly meeting.

New or prospective members are invited to attend as many meetings (up to 5) as they wish to get to know us before joining the society. Concessions for students and senior citizens half price.

Club Trips
Club Trips
Whether it is a weekend away or a quickly arranged outing of a few members to take photos. Shafton Camera Club is active in the pursuit of encouraging our members to pick up their camera(s) and go out and take pictures. What better way of learning more about this fantastic pastime of ours than in the company of other members. A great way to learn new techniques, try out that new filter, ask some questions or just have a good time taking photos.
In this Portfolio Group we will track the ups and downs of images taken on the Camera Club outings starting late 2006 and then following through into 2008.

Enjoy.
Landscapes
Landscapes
A landscape comprises the visible features of an area of land, including physical elements such as landforms, living elements of flora and fauna, abstract elements such as lighting and weather conditions, and human elements, for instance human activity or the built environment. Landscape can also mean the objects around you in a building.
Mono
Mono
For an image, the term monochrome is usually taken to mean the same as black-and-white or, more likely, grayscale, but may also be used to refer to other combinations containing only tones of a single color, such as green-and-white or green-and-black. It may also refer to sepia displaying tones from light tan to dark brown or cyanotype (“blueprint”) images, and early photographic methods such as Ambrotype, Tintype and Daguerreotype, each of which may be used to produce a monochromatic image.
