Activities

Audio Visual

With the greater use of computers, people have a need to combine their digital photographs with a suitable audio soundtrack.  This is what we term an Audio Visual (AV).

Selsdon Camera Club boasts a thriving AV Group. Its members meet monthly on a Tuesday evening to exchange knowledge with the aim of improving and encouraging the production of digital audio visuals.

Our friendly sessions include the viewing of members’ work, demonstrations on the use of various software available for AV productions and the combined group involvement in production of club entries for competitions.

Recently the Selsdon AV Group have chalked up successes in competitions with other clubs including first place for the club entry in the South London Federation AV Competition and individuals winning Certificates for their work. Come along, it is great fun.

Out and Abouters

The Out and Abouters, within Selsdon Camera Club, organise monthly outings to places of photographic interest. They are held on the second Saturday of each month, with just a few exceptions, where this date clashes with another camera club event. On these occasions, they are normally held on the first Saturday in the month. Our venues are displayed in the club’s programme and all members, their partners and friends, are most welcome.

These outings are very sociable and informal affairs, with breaks for morning coffee and lunch, providing an opportunity to talk cameras and photography. It also presents an opportunity to get to know our fellow members. The venues are locations reasonably close to Selsdon, and are reached by car or public transport. National Trust and similar properties are visited, together with walks in London and adjacent towns.

These outings were started some ten years ago now, when a group of new members formed the ‘Fairly New Group’ to go out together to take photographs. The group was soon joined by other members and it then became known as the ‘Out and Abouters’.

Annual Exhibition 2009

The relocation of our 2009 Annual Exhibition to the club’s venue at the Methodist Halls in Sanderstead was considered a great success by all who participated. Thanks to the many visitors, including family and friends, who came to see our members’ works on display, together with representatives from Croydon Council and The Croydon Advertiser, the whole atmosphere in the Halls throughout the day was considered most rewarding.

Visitors participated by voting for the ‘Best Picture’, and judging of the ‘Best Panel’ by one of our senior members provided the excitement through to the end of the exhibition when the awards were announced.

Twenty-seven members exhibited over 120 prints covering 44 panels, both in monochrome and colour, which provided a splendid vista of our members’ varied work.

Throughout the day the Audio-Visual group screened a number of their shows which added to the interest shown by all visitors attending the exhibition. The lessons learnt from the day will be carried forward to continue the success of Selsdon Camera Club’s future exhibitions. Thank you for your support.
