Photography Group (Morning)

Enquiries about the Group: Jonathan Guest

The Photography Group (Morning) has something to offer all our members who have an interest in taking better digital photographs. Some want to enjoy themselves going out on photo-shoots with like-minded companions and sharing their enjoyment and knowledge of photography, and others to learn how take better photos and do more with their camera and their photographs.

You might also like to take a look at Cardiff u3a’s Practical Photography group which meets alternate Wednesdays but in the afternoon.

Having an expensive camera is not necessary, as the group will talk about and use all types of devices that we now use to record all aspects our lives.

The group meets twice a month. For details of times and locations of future photo-shoots on the 2nd Wednesday of the month see the Calendar on this page. On the 4th Wednesday of the month we look at some of the photos we took on the photo-shoot, and talk about all things photographic. For more information click on the link at the top of the page.

Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst.

Latest news from the group

Park Life

Published 7th April 2025

The Morning group’s trip in March was to the Victoria and Thompson Parks, with the theme of High Key/Low Key. Then at our monthly meeting in the URC our convenor, Jonathan, showed the photos we had each chosen as out ‘top twos’. Later “an esteemed panel of experts” (from Jonathan’s family) chose as our Pick of the Month, the beautiful ‘high key’ camellia, taken by Patrizia.

Briefly, “high-key” refers to bright, evenly lit scenes with minimal contrast, while “low-key” describes scenes with strong contrasts, dark tones, and shadows.
