Quote from Freeman Patterson :
"36 satisfactory exposures on a roll mean a photographer is not trying anything new." OK, not exactly up to date, but the principal still counts.
And from Elliott Erwitt
"To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them."
And from your webmaster: 1. Find the subject; 2. Find the light: 3. Find the composition;
4. Check all around your viewfinder. If an element doesn't add, it detracts.
Meetings postponed
In light of the current situation and uncertainties regarding corona virus we have decided to postpone Mold Camera Club meetings for the time being.
As this is a progressing situation we will keep all members posted as to when we hope to return to our schedule.
All meetings, until the end of 2021 at the earliest, will continue to take place online using Zoom.
The committee will review the situation regarding Covid-

Kevin.

It’s pretty amazing and free! And for those with i-

Big Lottery Fund Wales
I am very pleased to announce that Mold Camera Club has been successful in its application for a lottery grant in support of the club and has been awarded £4,900 by the Big Lottery Fund Wales.
The award will allow us to replace our ageing equipment by buying new laptop, projector and print display stand as well as adding an HD video camera allowing us to present members’ and visiting speakers’ images to a high standard. This means that we can continue to develop the club providing a valuable resource in the local community for those wishing to learn new, or hone existing, photographic skills in a friendly club environment.
Mold Camera Club is open to anyone with an interest in photography to come and join our friendly club. We cater for all abilities: running beginners sessions for total novices all the way through to members who have won awards in major international competitions and exhibitions.
