History
Bolsover Camera Club was established in 1951 and endeavours to promote and provide support for Photography in and around the area. We recently celebrated our 50th anniversary and with a grant from the lottery funded.
The new equipment, which was used in a Millennium project –
‘A Thousand Years of Historic Bolsover’.
A small group of keen photographers, we meet every Friday - September until late May. Our evenings embrace competitions, workshops, studio evenings and internal lectures. Guest speakers talk about their photographic techniques & experiences, and members receive constructive criticism of their own work.
Bolsover Camera Club members range from very experienced workers in colour and black and white conventional photography, to enthusiastic beginners and we currently have around 35 members. In keeping with other clubs, some members exhibit traditional darkroom images, whilst other members have changed to computer enhanced digital methods. Digital workers are well represented within the group.
The club participates in photographic competitions, and exhibitions both locally and nationally. We are very active in knock out competitions and participate in the annual NEMPF club slide championship. We have had several winers in these competitions and have represented the Federation twice in the last four years at National level
Why not call in at one of our meetings, you will find the group friendly and helpful with advice on all aspects of photography.
