Closer to home on 17th September, and a big contrast to NY, with a visit to the serene Fenlands with Fred Harding. Under-appreciated as flat and boring by many, Fred will prove with his wonderful images just what an amazing and interesting place we really have at our back door. This is another evening for those who appreciate the beauty of our countryside, and long for the chance to escape from the hassles and troubles of everyday life. Come along, and spend two peaceful and relaxing hours in another world!

We take a trip to the Big Apple on 3rd September, when Club Chairman Ian Johnson presents his illustrated talk on the city that never sleeps, New York. We've already had a small sampler of what's on offer, and they've been brilliant, so we can be pretty certain of a stimulating set of images. A fascinating tour of this thriving metropolis is promised, which should appeal to all with a sense of adventure.

1st October brings along Mike Fuller, with a Photoshop B&W masterclass. This is a top-notch presentation, intentionally geared to a specific topic. Not just any topic though, but to the rapidly-growing area of producing superb, perhaps fine-art-quality B&W images. There has been a massive resurgence of interest in B&W, and Mike's presentation will give you what you need to match the best in the business. This really is a special event, with an expert practitioner and lecturer at the helm. So, when it comes to B&W artistry, be there, or be nowhere!

Ben Osborne is the current Overall Winner of the Shell 'WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR' award. He is therefore a master of wildlife & landscape photography, and will be visiting us on the 15th of October with a presentation on those two popular subjects. Following on from Mike Maloney & Will Cheung, Ben is yet another of the series of fantastic big names to visit Kempston Camera Club!

Good news for some of the KCC members as they became official accredited photographers at the recent Bedford International Games. A great FREE benefit of being a member of KCC!

Looking above at the things going on at Kempston Camera Club, we hope you'll agree that we're the rising star of photographic clubs and societies in Bedfordshire. Our appeal is much wider however, with members and visitors from Buckinghamshire and Northamptonshire, and even Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire. Please come along yourself and find out why! and find out why!
