A camera club supporting local photographers of all abilities is celebrating its 50th anniversary.<\/p>\n

Mid Somerset Camera Club meets every Tuesday in Street – and has done for decades.<\/p>\n

In 1974, workers from Somerset-based shoe manufacturer Clarks came together so that they could purchase camera film in bulk.<\/p>\n

The club has since evolved and now runs weekly sessions, exhibitions and competitions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“Through Covid, we ran virtual meetings,” said John Law, the club’s chairman.<\/p>\n

“We provided a useful lifeline to the outside world and our members appreciated the human contact and friendship we provided.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

New member Charlotte Cobb joined the club because she wanted to take her photography more seriously. <\/p>\n

“I didn’t have very much confidence with my skills but I was determined to put in some hard work.<\/p>\n

“Janet, my mentor, has helped me no end from the basics of understanding the exposure triangle to making my images competition ready. <\/p>\n

“For anyone that is starting out, or wanting to gain further skills, I would highly recommend the mentoring programme.”<\/p>\n

Situated as it is near the North Somerset coast, the cities of Bristol and Bath, and the Somerset Levels, the club regularly takes field trips in the area.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Adam Humphrey, the club’s programme secretary, said: “We aim to provide a learning experience and a social meeting place where like-minded photographers can come together. <\/p>\n

“Our research has shown that the social side of club life is a valued part of what it does.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
