Welcome to the Website of the Wallingford Photographic Club. There is no substitute for a personal visit to one of our meetings, so our intention here is just to provide some brief details of when and where we meet, and how to contact us.
Our Club
We exist for the enjoyment of photography and welcome all to the club, from absolute beginners through to professionals, and from a pin hole camera to the latest digital reflexes! You do not need the latest camera gear to enjoy our club.
We are a friendly bunch of about 50 people, all ages and a good mix of male and female members. We try to stimulate creative picture making in a small and convivial social atmosphere. Our programme runs from September 2008 through to May the following year
Newcomers
We always welcome newcomers at the start of the season or at any time. if you are hesitating why not come along to our next meeting. Let us know in advance and we will be sure to give you a friendly welcome
Monthly competitions
Do come along anyway as there are plenty who just enjoy the social aspects of meeting fellow enthusiasts. However we also run monthly competitions for colour prints, black and white prints, and colour slides. We end the year with competitions for the best prints- and we have an award for the best newcomer!. Prints (mounted) must be handed in one week before the competition. Digital files should be emailed as jpegs sized 1024 (width) x 768 (height) pixels (XGA) by the Sunday night before the competition to wpc.comp@yahoo.co.uk The file naming format for these files is name.title.jpg

Digital Projector
We have the latest "state of the art" digital projector, laptop, and software, thanks to the "Awards for All" scheme funded by the National Lottery. We will be able to show on the big screen all those pictures taken by members with digital cameras
Thanks
We would like to thank Waitrose for their financial assistance and Wallingford Tea and Coffee for their provision of tea.
