Introduction
The club has a number of special interest groups that meet throughout the year. Below, you will find outline information on each of them. Overall, the aims of all the groups are to support members in improving their skills and practice of photography, share experiences and images and to have an enjoyable time.
All members of the club can join any or all of the special interest groups; there is no additional club fee involved.
If you have an event or location you would like us to photograph (and provide you with a selection of images) do please get in touch via email: info@backwellcamera.club

The Photoshoot Group
The Photoshoot Group arranges regular outings for our members to take photographs at local venues and events that they might not usually have access to.
The key aims of the group are to:
- have a good time
- venture to new places and opportunities
- improve our photographic skills and techniques
- provide an environment where we can help each other through the comparison and critique of each others images and the techniques employed
Recent shoots have included studio taster sessions at UWE, a night shoot of the fireworks at Weston-super-Mare and an evening at the Nailsea Christmas Fair.
A selection of members' images from recent shoots can be seen in the gallery. TBC
Practical Group
The Practical Group meets monthly throughout the year, normally online on the first Tuesday of each month at 7.30pm.
This group is for members who want to improve their photography and provides a forum for members to show and critique each others' prints, projected images and audio visual presentations. It also provides the opportunity for discussion of technical aspects of the hobby. All club members and invited guests (up to three times per season) are very welcome to attend.
