A review of all the summer events with awards for the Best Summer Images.

An introduction to the new Buddy Scheme.  Those who wish to will be paired with a "Buddy" to work on a photographic project together for presentation to the club at a later meeting (3rd February 2026).   The project will involve composing an image, and processing it for presentation.  The subject matter is "Just Two".     We will try to make sure that inexperienced photographers are paired with someone with more experience.

If you would like to be a part of the Buddy scheme, you can sign up before the first meeting by contacting Nicky - programme@stives-photoclub.org.uk

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.
