What We Do

Glencoe Tree

Monday evenings form the formal part of the club activities. We are fortunate to be able to attract high quality speakers who demonstrate the breadth and scope of photography, both conventional and digital.  Some evenings are devoted to club competitions where members receive constructive feedback on their entries from independent judges. Inter club competitions within Lothian and the West of Scotland provide similar opportunities.

The educational activities are further developed through informal educational sessions organised by experienced members to support and encourage those wishing to develop skills and techniques. This could cover digital techniques, 35mm film, macro photography, studio lighting or any photographic subject of interest to members. The club is fortunate to have conventional and digital dark room facilities which support our on going teaching programmes.

Exhibitions, which allow for the display of member’s work, are held annually in Almondvale Shopping Centre. The club was also a founder member of the Strathbrock Partnership Local Art Team (SPLAT) where we had a permanent exhibition of member's photographs.

Smaller exhibitions of members works are in the Howden and Dedridge Health Centres.

The club has also developed links with Firefly, formerly West Lothian Youth Theatre.
