We took on the challenge of creating up to three diptych images using just two half-frame images. The key was to find any images that, when combined, told a more complete story. Huge congratulations to Graham for his winning entry, “Old ship bits”!

Our final round in the club league competition was held on April 29th with our judge Jason Hyde CPAGB, here are both the print and PDI entries

Our annual themed competition, showcasing both prints and digital images, was held on Wednesday, April 15th, and we had an amazing number of entries in both categories! A huge thank you to our judge for the evening, Andrew Mills MA MEd CertEd ARPS, for his thoughtful and insightful feedback throughout the proceedings.

It’s been a great 12 months of challenges, the themes have been wide and varied and a large number of images were submitted. Congratulations to Nigel for winning the year long challenge and huge thanks to all who participated.

Our April outing is a Friday afternoon stroll along the Thames from Albert Bridge to Waterloo taking in Battersea Park, Battersea Power Station, the US Embassy, and the National Covid Memorial Wall amongst other interesting sites and landmarks.  But to make things more interesting this is going to be a wide angle lens challenge (<35mm or equivalent).  You will of course be welcome to bring other lenses with you but our focus will be on seeing what we can do with a wide angle lens to capture the sites and people along the Thames embankment.

On Saturday, 21st March, we went to Waverley Abbey. The Abbey was founded in 1128 and dissolved by King Henry VIII in 1536.  Today this historic site is in ruins after many of its stones were taken for local building projects including the impressive grade II listed building Waverley Abbey House that overlooks the remains of the abbey.

Following on from a great presentation on Astro Photography by Mike Meynell we thought we’d have a go ourselves and wandered out on a cold February night to see what we could do. Thanks to Jeff for his annotations, many of us had no clue what we were looking at.

The team headed down to Chichester on the weekend to have a look at the Chichester camera club exhibition and then carried on to take some great shots at Chichester Harbor and Bosham. Thanks to Andrew, Pat, Ana, Mike and Jeff for these great photographs

We were on zoom on Wednesday evening at looking at the subject of Architectural Photography and with the assistance of CoPilot and six world famous architects we were asking ourselves what even is architectural photography; why when buildings don’t move are they so hard to photograph; and what makes for a good architectural image. ​

On Friday, November 21st, AFFCC took a trip to Alice Holt to see the Earth Photo 2025 entries that made it to the shortlist. Even though it was chilly, we had a lovely time with great company, and we all enjoyed a warm cup of something at the café afterward.

Another town, another Wednesday in another September, and another wet night. With memories of last year’s season opening “Peter Merry” walk around Farnham very much to the fore eight of us were out and about on Wednesday evening in Aldershot for a spot of damp night-time street photography looking for images for our forthcoming exhibition in Union Yard.

As our 2024/2025 season draws to a close, lets look back on the great images we’ve seen in this years competitions.
