Photography Club

[jgrieves1976]

Hi,

This is my first post, been reading a lot on the forums trying to pick up some information. I've always been keen on taking photo's with my point and shoot and then about 6 months ago bought a Nikon D40.

Up until now I have been using it in auto mode but have now found the time to learn about the principles of photography and how to fully use the camera.

The reason for the post is to see if anyone knows of any Camera/Photography clubs in the North East (preferably South Tyneside or Newcastle area).

I'm very nervous about attending clubs but think once i've settled i will enjoy it and get many benefits from going.

I've signed up for a 6 week course at the local college but would like something that i can pick up during/after the course for support and advice.

Any help would be appreciated.

i think the college course and lots of field work and practice will set you up for the club
club learning is slow

Maybe take a look at the 'Meeting Place' section of the forum - either to find club info or to ask about it? That could help you find a club to join.

Good luck with you course - and I can see why you would also want to join a club as well to build on what you learn/meet like-minded people and put what you learn into a 'real' context!

Have fun!
