Group Description:
We are a group of amateur photographers who meet every Monday to take photographs at varying locations around the Auckland area. Some of us are members of the Hibiscus Coast Photographic Club and the North Shore Photographic Society.
We do not specialise in one genre of photography but take a diverse range of images. We also meet regularly to critique our images and this has enabled many of the group to improve their photography, especially as some of our members are also photography judges with wide experience. Many of the group have had success in National competitions like the North Shore Salon, Creative Focus and the National Exhibition.
The group originally came about after some of the members attended a photography class held on a Monday afternoon. Some years ago the tutor moved to the South Island but the current attendees decided to keep the group going and subsequently it expanded on an informal basis. We now have to turn potential members away as it is important to limit the size of the group, it becomes difficult to have too many photographers at each location. However if anyone is interested in creating their own group, we would be happy to help.
