You may attend any active group once as a visitor, if you contact the group coordinator first, but to continue you have to become a member of Bedford u3a.

Aim: To widen our knowledge of photography. Experienced photographers and beginners are welcome.

Objectives:

• To improve photographs taken

• To understand composition eg aperture, shutter speed and ISO

• To become competent using own camera eg auto/manual settings - depth of field, shutter speed

• To develop editing skills eg cropping and straightening photographs

Meetings:

These are overseen by a photographic enthusiast.

Each month the group chooses a topic and each member submits up to four photographs which are discussed. Each member then votes for three photographs. The chosen photographs are then displayed on photography group 3’s web page. See the links for the pages of photos.

At least once a year a local venue is selected where the group meets and photographs are taken. Group members then select three of their photographs for discussion and selection for photography group 3’s web page. A photography marathon could also be included.
