Our 10th meeting of the 2025\/26 season was another lively and engaging evening for Dunchurch Photographic Society members.<\/p>

We began with an update from Mark Ellis<\/strong>, who reported on our recent performance at the Badby Challenge<\/strong> \u2013 a friendly but competitive event involving 11 photographic clubs from across the region. We were delighted to achieve a creditable 5th place<\/strong>, finishing just 4 points behind the winning club<\/strong> \u2013 a fantastic result that reflects the quality and creativity of our members\u2019 work. Well done to everyone who contributed!<\/p>

After the update, we moved into the main part of the evening \u2013 one of our popular Members\u2019 Evenings<\/strong>. These sessions are always a highlight of the calendar, offering a chance for members to share practical knowledge, experiment with new techniques, and learn from one another in a relaxed, hands-on environment.<\/p>

The hall was soon buzzing with conversation and creativity. A range of fascinating setups filled the room, each hosted by volunteers demonstrating different photographic techniques. Members had the opportunity to try their hand at still life compositions<\/strong>, low-light colour abstracts<\/strong>, and water droplet photography<\/strong>, among other subjects. Cameras clicked, ideas flowed, and plenty of tips and laughter were shared throughout the evening.<\/p>
