We have members with interests in Infrared, Pinhole and Lomographic photography, along with more standard fare such as Landscape and Portrait photography.
There are also beginners classes available and new members are always welcome.

Joe Cornish speaks about the work of Peter Dombrovskis

Joe Cornish is a quite a famous English landscape photographer. In the video in this post he talks about the work of the late Peter Dombrovskis, a Tasmanian landscape photographer. He takes us through one of Peter's books, and discusses the images therein. For those in the club that enjoy both looking and shooting Landscapes, this video is a must view. Peter shot is all weathers, and seeing this could well be the encouragement needed for those dreary days.
