ImageZ was formed in 2003 on a strictly digital agenda and is a progressive and creative photographic club. Our ethos is very much centered on learning and creativity. With an active member base of some 50+ members of all abilities new members are always welcome – whatever their standard. We offer a good mix of practical evenings, learning sessions and a number of challenging competitions. It’s not all work as we also have and encourage an active social element also. Feel free to look round our website, contact us or even come along and see us one of these evenings, you will be more than welcome.

Photographer’s Ephemeris
Free software for Landscape photographers! See Photographer’s Ephemeris for an interesting program – available for Mac, PC and iPhone – to allow for those wanting to plan their shoots around the times of sunrise, sunset or twilight, or alternatively when the moon is in a particular place in a particular phase.
A typical use might be to determine when the sun will set along the axis of a mountain valley, or when a full moon rise will rise across a lake.
The application uses Google Maps providing users the ability to select a location and determine the time and azimuth of sunrise or sunset for a given date or dates.
Summer Programme
The ‘indoor season’ of this extraordinary camera club may have finished but the ‘great outdoors’ calls and our fortnightly summer programme is under way! Look in the Programme section to see to what lengths we plan to go to get a good exposure!
Audio/Visual Presentations
Following on from the lecture from Steve Brabner and his Harley Davidson, we have received a couple of e-mails regarding interest in Audio/Visual presentations. If we can get enough interest, it may be possible to get a tutorial type of session on the subject for interested members later in the season. Could you please either just drop Alan an e-mail, or alternatively come and have a word on the next club night. (Alan’s off to get his leathers out and his bike polished – it’ll not last long though, he’s got too soft!)

Award Presentations
We went to town this year over our award presentations. Not that they were not worthy but did we have to go quite so far to recognise their achievements? See the Competitions page for the details and pictures.
Trips and Venues
If anyone hears of exhibitions or photographic opportunities that may arise during the course of the season please feel free to tell us so that other members may benefit.
