Lake Viñuela Photographic Club
The club was formed in 2008 by ten members of the El Valle Asociación, It was subsequently reformed as an independent organisation in 2012 and renamed Lake Viñuela Photographic Club.
Active membership fluctuates between 15 and 20 photographers at any one time. Most members live or have holiday homes local to Viñuela although a few live elsewhere and contribute to challenges online. Members are predominantly British.
The club has differing skill levels from novice to the more proficient. All are welcome as everyone has one thing in common, a passion for photography and a desire to improve their technique in the company of others. Whether one has a basic digital compact camera or a top of the range DSLR or mirrorless is irrelevant, it's all about taking better photographs.
We compete with other photographic clubs in the province on an annual basis. Besides taking part in competitions we have held a few successful exhibitions of our work displaying at local municipal buildings.
Club members pay 20€ per year to the club's funds and currently meet on the third Thursday of each month at El Puente Christian Fellowship in Cruce de Periana below Maroma estate agents. The next meeting is scheduled for Thursday 15th August at 12.00pm.
As the venue of meetings can change at any time it would be advisable to contact us beforehand if you wish to attend any forthcoming meeting.
Meetings consist of the business of the day which is normally very brief followed by the critiquing of photographs taken for our monthly challenges.
We also supplement meetings with the occasional field trip, technical tutorials and social events.
