Colin Southgate has been involved in photography since about 1986. He still has a fondness for monochrome despite switching
to digital imaging about eight years ago. A late passion for darkroom
lith printing has influenced his digital direction considerably.
Mike Howell specialises in fine art photography with an emphasis on monochrome work although he also shoots in colour.
Some of our members have their own websites, where you are welcome to view their images:
Chris Harland has been taking pictures most of his life but has found the comparatively recent advent of digital photography a liberating and re-invigorating experience.
He tries to create images which look at the commonplace from a different perspective or through different eyes.
Pat & Melvyn Frewin have a large selection of their images, including many of their winning images from national and international exhibitions.
Colin Douglas has a selection of his images showing in the St. Helens Camera Club Gallery.
Barry Collin has a selection of his images on display here. They are booked to be exhibited at Braintree, Essex Library in September 2010.
