Resources
This part of Wakefield Camera Club’s website is a home for a variety of resources. These are aimed at giving some practical help in many aspects of photography, from an item on a beginners “what the buttons do” to presentations on HDR photography. At the moment it is mainly “how to” text articles which have come from a variety of sources but the aim is to expand this at some time in the future to pass on tips from existing members such as where to acquire items and good shooting locations.
