Welcome to Tamworth Camera Club

The Tamworth Camera Club is made up of people who enjoy the art of photography.  We have members from all walks of life and varying experience in photography. You can shoot film or digital, SLR or compact, everyone is welcome.

The idea of the club is to exchange ideas, knowledge, techniques and to help each other become the best photographer that you can be.   Tamworth Camera Club holds monthly training nights, monthly photographic competitions and organised outings.

For new members who have registered for the website, can you please email the secretary so we can add you to the Members’ page?
Thank you.

CRITIQUE CORNER (NEW)

Hi Members

A new option called CRITIQUE CORNER has been added to the website which can be found under the members tab.

This is similar to our critique sessions where members can comment on how and image can be adjusted or cropped to enhance the image.

I would like those members who are interested to upload an image and give it a try before the next Training night on 25th February. This may even streamline our critique sections on training nights. You are able to upload one image at a time and add a comment. Note once you replace your image the comments will be removed also.

I have started the ball rolling so lets give it a go!
