Take Your Photography to New Heights
Join Mid Sussex Camera Club.
Discover What You Can Achieve
Whether you are new to photography or an experienced enthusiast, we are a group of around seventy friendly and passionate photographers committed to enabling one another to develop our photographic abilities.
In addition to the regular club meetings, members can benefit from further development opportunities through our affiliation with the Surrey Photographic Association (SPA) and the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain (PAGB). These bodies offer a range of competitions and exhibitions for photographers to improve their skills and gain recognition for their work.
We meet every Monday evening from September to April. Membership costs £50 for the season, and we offer a range of optional photography-related activities and social events.
Main Activities
Specialist Speakers
Each season, the club invites circa fifteen photographers, each accomplished in their chosen field or genre, to talk through and around a selection of their photographic work with the purpose of us learning the why and how. of their work.
Internal Workshops
We devote several evenings each season to learning and developing photographic skills.
Competitions
Six ranking competitions are held each season, scored by an external judge. The results are cumulative on a league table basis. The competitions are for both digital and printed images. The leagues are split into ability classes, with promotions each season.
Four internal competitions are held: Sussex, Nature, Panel, and Picture of the Year. The Sussex winner is chosen by members' vote, while an external SPA judge judges all the other competitions.
