A long-term member of the club, Mark will be showing us some of his old slides and prints.  It is a while since we saw Mark's work, and this will be an interesting evening.

On this evening we will also introduce the Buddy's Scheme.  Members will be paired with a buddy (or maybe two) to work on a project together for showing on 9th February.

Our competition with Swavesey has recently become more of a fun competition, adopting a Mix and Match theme.  We will be running our own internal version of this with Girls v Boys.   Each team has a pool of photos to choose from.  One team puts up an image and the second team has to match it in some way.  A point is awarded for the best image, and an additional point if the judge deems it to be a match.  Great fun!

As we are unable to get into the church due to the Michaelmass Fair, we have decided that instead of the usual wander around the fair with a camera, we will take our cameras to Cambridge for some night time shots.  Exact meet up point and timings tbc

Following on from his last talk to the club in the 2025-6 winter programme, we are delighted to welcome Kevin back to talk to the club about his passion for wildlife.  This promises to be an interesting and engaging evening.

A fun start to the New Year!   We will be using miniature people with all kinds of props to create scenes to photograph.  A chance to play!

Subject tba.  Gary is a long-standing member of the club and accustomed to talking about his wonderful nature trips.  Always enjoyable, and we look forward to this one!

This year's Presidents competition is "Communication".   The George Dellar competition is an open subject, but the photo must have been taken in Cambridgeshire.  See website for full rules.

Tom had planned to deliver this talk in the 2025-6 season, but was unable to do so.  We are therefore excited that he is coming to deliver the talk this season instead!

The Buddies will show the images they have been working on together.  This is a scheme which encourages members to share skills and to work together in both the initial capture of the photographs and the post production.

Members bring images for critique, and have a time allocated to chat to another member about the images before moving on.  They will also critique the images shown to them by other members.  A fun evening under the control of a whistle!

A long-standing member of St Ives Photographic Club, Tom is known for his wonderful monochrome images, his creativity and his sense of humour!  Assured to be a great evening!

No access to the church due to Youth Theatre

In the first section of his talk, Nick discusses mining photography that he researched to inform him about his own approach to the project. He also explains what free mining is and how he published a book of his work (there should be a few copies still available to purchase at the talk). After the break he will go through a number of his images, how he shot them and the challenges he faced. He finishes by talking about postproduction and printing, showing physical examples from his F panel which the audience is also encouraged to look at throughout the evening.

Vitrual city building with screws, nails and staples.  We will build and photograph the cities using any materials available and with reflective surfaces and lighting.  This should be fun!

A chance for members to give a very short presentation on anything they wish
