26th January 2010 We've added a link to a really inspiring on-line video to the report of Richard Egan's talk.
24th January 2010 To see what went on at Richard Egan's talk on Portraiture, click on "Latest Meeting".
10th January 2010 We have a print tutorial explaining in detail how to upload your photos to Flickr so that they are only visible to BCC group members.  You can find this in our "Resources" area - look for the "Mainly for Members" link.
If you use Lightroom to manage your images, you can find details of a useful plug-in that lets upload to Flickr directly from Lightroom.  In "Resources" follow the "Lightroom" link.
5th January 2010 The good news is that the YENRIC meeting went ahead yesterday evening and those brave souls who made it had a great night.  The bad news is that we came last this time - it's a long time since that happened.  However, only 8 points separated the winners from us so it was a very close run thing.
You can see how each of our images fared in the gallery pages.
4th January 2010 A Happy New Year to all our readers.

We have a private Flickr group for BCC.  If you wish to be involved, you'll first need to register for Flickr (it's free!), then drop us an e-mail when we will then send you an invitation to join the private group.
This is a great opportunity for club members and friends to share and learn.

If you need to "kick-start" your photography, you'll find some great suggestions here:  http://lightroomsecrets.com/2009/12/10-suggestions-for-2010/#more-1026
