Rochdale Camera Club

Did lockdown leave you with a new found or reignited love for photography?

Rochdale & District Camera Club are encouraging prospective members to give them a try. They are a friendly group of local people from all walks of life who share a love of photography.

The club has met in Rochdale for years, most recently at Syke Methodist Church and Community Hub. Whilst meetings have been suspended due to the ongoing pandemic, the club has moved with the times and embraced online meetings to keep in touch.

Secretary, Phill Connell explained: "We meet on Tuesday nights, whether online or in person depending on the guidance. Our weekly programme of meetings includes guest speakers to keep us inspired; sharing skills such as camera settings and picture framing; learning how to use editing packages to bring the best out of our images and many other activities.

"We aim to meet outdoors regularly to find interesting things to capture, ranging from local nature walks to city centre trips for architecture and street photography. During lockdown we’ve held some excellent light-hearted photography competitions including tabletop photography and self-portrait challenges, motivating members to make interesting images at home.

"If you have a camera you love to use, or if you’d like to learn how to get more use and creativity from your equipment, we’re a very friendly club and new members are always welcome. Our wide range of ages and experience make the club a relaxed and supportive group of people, who all want to learn more and enjoy our hobby."
