There are currently five photography groups operating within Bearsden & Milngavie u3a each catering to a wide range of photographic skills and requirements as indicated below and the displayed images. The number of groups has grown in line with the numbers of members and the limitations on space for meetings.
Group 5 is aimed at experienced amateur photographers with considerable understanding of the technology & skills behind the art of image making.
Meeting fortnightly, we constructively critique a small number of images, with a particular emphasis on composition & post production. We also discuss new technology, equipment & editing software with a view to exchanging knowledge & ability in a friendly learning environment. Field trips, including visits to relevant exhibitions, form an important part of the group’s activity & from time to time we have a guest speaker. Although not a competitive group, we do have an annual competition!
The group is limited in its membership.
