Ludshott Photographic Club The Club welcomes new members who are interested in all forms of still photography – film or digitally based. New members are encouraged to take part in all our competitions whether they are absolute beginners or have a greater photographic experience. The meetings provide an opportunity for the exchange of ideas and knowledge about photography between members. Through the comprehensive programme of talks, lectures, workshops etc. members are able to improve their ability to take better quality photographs. For more detail, see our Programme page. Whatever camera you have, be it APS, Compact, Single Lens reflex, Medium Format or Digital, you will find help and advice on hand. As a member of the Surrey Photographic Association, and through our affiliation to the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain, the Club has access to a wide range of advice and expertise if it is required. Members wishing to process their own prints will find a ready "helping hand" available to solve their problems on a ‘one to one’ basis if required.
