Top Tip
Want to improve your photography? Read about how these members benefited from joining Lichfield Camera Club:
"I had always been interested in photography but realised that I needed to get beyond the basics if I wanted to improve the quality of my images. Joining the club was a game changer. By entering competitions and getting feedback from judges and other members my awareness of what makes a good image was taken to another level. I also enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and the chance to learn new techniques from more experienced photographers."
''I joined Lichfield Camera Club after my youngest child left school to go to uni. I needed something to hold my interest and give me reason. Since then, starting with no camera knowledge, I feel that I have learned a lot of new things, moved forwards with my photography , made great friends and camera club has become a social evening as well as a learning curve.''
