Viewfinder Photographic Society:
The Viewfinder Photographic Society is a friendly club of enthusiasts who meet regularly to support each other, exchange ideas and share expertise, with the sole aim of enjoying their photography.
The club normally meets on Monday evenings at Skidby Village Hall or occasionally via Zoom. Its varied programme includes still life workshops, portrait sessions, talks, presentations, tips on photographic techniques and reviews of members’ photographs.
In the summer months, members meet up at different locations in the area, with the emphasis very much on taking photographs.
The Society, which has a waiting list, provides a place for members to learn more about their photography by being with others who share their passion.
