Meetings and Workshops update

UPDATE ON MEET-UPS: Covid-19 restrictions.

At our BOOKABLE workshops INSIDE at the Haven Arms, we have to continue to limit to less than six people. Participants will need to WEAR A FACE COVERING when not sat down. However, we are not restricted to Wednesdays but can use the facilities at other times too. OUTDOORS activities are legally limited up to six people as well.

Within these restrictions, we can continue to gather for bookable activities. We are developing a list of what hopefully will be interesting workshops, some of which are available to book now.

Light-sculpturing.

On Wednesday 30 September the workshop will look at Light Sculpturing; using longer exposures, a darkened room and torches to paint ethereal light on subjects. Inspired by the work of US photographer Harold Ross.

Long Exposure workshops.

Night photography – groups up to six. Book in advance and participants will arrange the session between themselves to ensure convenient dates and shooting conditions.

Daylight long-exposures. Including use of Neutral Density filters. Groups of between 3 and 6 depending on subject and location. Currently looking to create a Waterfalls group.

Flour-bombing.

Based on an event seen at The Photography Show, this experimental workshop will light a subject/model whilst throwing flour in the background with colourful lights illuminating the ‘explosion’ of flour. Messy – So will be doing it outside so weather dependent. This is taking place on Wed 7 October 2020 but will be repeated because of the interest.

All Workshops MUST be booked in advance. More information and booking (click here).

Other news: A new YouTube channel started this year and is highly recommended. Of interest to photographers of all abilities, Photography Online publishes monthly on the last Sunday of the month. Do subscribe to the channel and watch the earlier monthly episodes from January.

We are the only Hedon-based photographic club. It’s free to join in and take part, and the club prides itself on its good reputation for its fun and friendly approach.

A Choice of Two Photography Workshops each week – Wed 23 and Wed 30 September 2020

For our next CLUB EVENTS on Wednesday, 23 September and Wednesday 30 September at 7pm, we are offering a choice between TWO WORKSHOPS each week, at TWO DIFFERENT LOCATIONS.

The LONG-EXPOSURE workshop will take place in Hull City Centre and the REFLECTIONS workshop will be re-run at our Haven Arms base in Hedon.

Each workshop will have FIVE PARTICIPANTS and the WORKSHOP LEADER only.  Both will be perfect for beginners, and refreshers for more experienced photographers. We particularly want to encourage members who haven’t been for a while.

Please complete the online booking form and visit that webpage for more information. ** MUST BE BOOKED IN TO TAKE PART **

#NOTE: COVID-19 restrictions. Up to 6 people only. Social-distancing and contact & trace measures apply to all workshops. Unfortunately, we can’t offer any ‘hands-on’ advice with your kit, only verbal.

Booking form available here:  Workshops and activities – booking essential.

Low Light and Long Exposure photography – Hull

Next week’s meet-up on Wednesday 9 September will be on Low Light and Long Exposure photography.

Weather permitting, it is proposed to hold a photo walk tour of Hull City Centre taking in well-known city locations. Meet 7:00pm outside the Hull interchange. Tripods will be useful if not essential on the night.

We will plan an alternative event back at the Haven Arms in Hedon for those who don’t/can’t walk if there is enough interest in this,  please let Ray know. This will be an event for us all if it rains heavily on the night and we have to cancel the photo walk.

Wednesday’s activity is part of a regular weekly programme of activities that will now be organised from or at our base at the Haven Arms, Havenside, Hedon. We will be primarily using the outside area of the pub for activities but have the option to gather indoors during inclement weather – and of course, we can benefit from refreshments at the pub!

#NOTE: Social-distancing and contact & trace measures apply.

Hedon Viewfinders meets Wed 8 August 2018

THE NEXT MEETING of Hedon Viewfinders is on Wednesday 8 August 2018 at the Haven Arms at 7pm. The theme will be around ‘longer exposures’ i.e. looking at some of the challenges photographers face taking sunsets, seascapes, star trails, etc. We hope to have a practical session too (weather permitting).

We’ll be previewing some of our 52 Week Photography Challenges which are coming up and relevant to the above theme.

We’ll be talking about the Hull International Photography Festival to be held in October (5th – 28th) and the club’s opportunities to get involved.

Fun, free, and friendly photography club open to all regardless of your level of skill or whatever camera/image-making device you have available. All Welcome.
