Bangor and North Down Camera Club, (BNDCC), Northern Ireland, UK.
Promoting and developing all aspects of photography through example, discussion and competition.

Welcome to the Bangor and North Down Camera Club Web site

Bangor and North Down Camera Club was founded in 1951, and has one of the largest memberships in Northern Ireland.

We welcome new members, especially those who are new to photography. Our club enjoys an informal and friendly atmosphere were 'good photography' is always the key. Enthusiasm for all kinds of photography is infectious - and members gather formally on Friday's - and informally Wednesday's - to share their experiences.

We encourage all members, especially those who are new to digital photography, to reach their full potential. Indeed; many of our 'Advanced' club members attend both Friday and Wednesday evenings and readily share their knowledge, skills, experience in film, slide, digital photography, and digital AV projection. We have also recently introduced two Internet Groups, one private that is only open to members and one that is open to all and offers the facility to sell their work.

Whether you are new to photography, or an old hand who wants to rekindle your interest - please check out the tabs below for 'Friday', 'Wednesday' and 'News' to find out more. Please note: You do not need to be a member to come along and check us out! Just say "I saw your web site and thought I would visit" I can assure you that you will be made most welcome!

The Wednesday Club

Every Wednesday evening at 7.45pm. Bring your photos on USB sticks and we will project them on screen for everyone to see. We want to discuss what you think worked, and we will try to offer ideas and suggestions on how they might be improved.

But, we also want to see what didn't work. If you thought you had a good shot but it didn't come out right, then bring it along and we will try and work out why. By taking part in this interactive debate we can all learn from the feedback of others!

If you have any topic you would like us to cover, or if you would like to share your knowledge, skills and experience (in any area of interest to members), please let Mark Allen or David Roberts know and we will do our best to arrange it or provide some support.

 

Redbubble

Many of our new members have joined us as a result of seeing our work on Redbubble. But existing members may want to be reminded that if they are looking for a way to sell their photography, Redbubble is one of many ways to do this. We have a 'Friends of Bangor and North Down Camera Club' on Redbubble, that is open to everyone!

Please visit the Sale Room page on our site where superb photographic items of equipment are offered for sale by club members
