Welcome to Falmouth Camera Club

We are pleased to announce that the UpperDeck, Falmouth Yacht Marina, North Parade, Falmouth Cornwall England TR11 2DT will continue to be our home this season from Thursday 28th August 2025 at 7:30pm. We meet twice a month on a Thursday evening with additional outings to local locations in between. The UpperDeck website can be found at https://www.upperdeckfalmouth.com/

There is an annual membership subscription currently set at £20 per member, which is revised and agreed at the AGM each year. 

We are a friendly group who meet to socialise, enjoy photography, share ideas and help each other with techniques and tips. We have members who use digital SLR cameras (with or without a mirror), film cameras, and mobile phones; and some develop their own photos. Many also prepare and mount their own prints. 

Internal club competitions are held to promote friendly rivalry and to challenge ourselves to improve our standards in taking striking images. 

We also run workshops on techniques and the use of photographic software programs. 

We hold presentations by internal and external speakers, using digital and print presentations, time lapse photography and audio visual presentations. As well as treasure hunts and photo challenges for fun. 

There are also field trips for landscape and wildlife photography held throughout the year to locations such as Dartmoor, Cornish nature reserves and unusual sites like the Penrose Water Gardens In the Spring and Summertime, we also organise local evening walks to places such as Swanpool, local creeks, reservoirs, and town walks.

The club is a member of the the following groups:

The Cornwall Photographic Alliance (CPA)  https://thecpa.org.uk/  

The Western Counties Photographic Federation (WCPF) https://www.thewcpf.com/ 

New members and visitors are always welcome. 

Our program of events for the season runs from September to April and our calendar 

will include the following key sessions: 

• Speakers. 

• Competitions. 

• Photo technique evenings. 

• Inter club matches. 

• AGM and presentation evenings. 

The program of events for the forthcoming season is provided to all members. The club will endeavour to notify members of any changes to the published program. If you have any ideas that you wish to share with us, we would welcome your input.
