Meetings are held on
the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 7:30pm (February to December) in the RSA
Bowling Club Rooms, 181 Tainui Street, Greymouth.
We offer a range of
programmes including practical sessions, covering many topics from the
basics of camera use through to the more advanced use of digital photography
software, and guest speakers of varying photographic interests.
Above all else, the meetings

Field Trips |
We regularly run field trips
to some great West Coast sites where you have the opportunity to capture
many wonderful images. |
|
Workshops |
From time to time workshops are held and cover various topics
subject to demand and interest. Members are encouraged to ask for workshops
to be held on any matter they wish to learn more about.

|
Competitions |
Our monthly
competitions are a good way to both showcase your photographs and
learn from the judge's comments. They also provide an opportunity to
view and be inspired by work from fellow photographers.
Photographers with a competitive nature find the
competitions also provide motivation to improve their
skills as they vie for the various club trophies at the end of the year.
Members also have the opportunity to compete
individually in the annual Seddon Shield Area Photographic Competitions
which are organised in turn by each of the five photography clubs in the West
Coast, Buller, Nelson and Marlborough regions. |

Newsletters |
Members receive our
monthly newsletter (Focal Point) containing news, articles, competition
results, photography and helpful hints.

Newsletters page to read a few
of the latest issues.

library of photographic resources available to members for loan periods
of up to a month at a time. See our
Library page for a list of titles. |

Exhibitions |
Each year our club holds a
photographic exhibition in the Left Bank Art Gallery. This provides an
opportunity for members to publicly exhibit and sell their work. |
