Learn, Share & Inspire
There are lots of camera clubs around, but we care less about the camera you want to use, more about the great photographs you want to make.
We see ourselves as a group of like-minded photographers, passionate about capturing the precious moments of life through pictures.
We are all on a photographic journey, eager to make progress and enjoy photographing the world about us; our cameras and our computers are just tools to help us on our way.
The Aperture Photography Group (APG) is a lively, exciting and friendly group, based in Northamptonshire UK. We love to share our work and ideas, learn and enjoy each other's company. This website will tell you lots about who we are and what we do. More importantly, it will tell you what you will gain by joining us.
If you are a complete beginner, or have years of experience and would like to come along to one of our meetings as our guest, you can meet the members, see what we are doing and, if you like what you see, join the Aperture Photography Group.
Our fortnightly meetings in Long Buckby are where we share our photos, or look at the work of professional image makers, either through talks by guest speakers or discussions about the work of some of the great photographers of all time. There is always a friendly vibe in the room and chance to chat with friends.
We never stop learning and with the APG, every day is a school day. Well almost! Each month we have two online sessions to learn about post processing our photographs and to understand why and how images work. The sessions are interactive and run by the more experienced members of the group.
Practice, practice, practice. Not all of us are blessed with natural talent, so practicing photography on our outings or at our multi-day workshops is a great way to get out and make new work. Experienced members of the group will be on hand to guide you and work alongside you.
For those members who want more help on their photographic journey, we will be running a series of camera skills workshops and three members will become the Class of 2025 in this year's mentoring programme, where the students join two experienced APG members on a year long improvement programme.
Our next monthly Livestream session will be on Monday 7th April at the earlier time of 7:30pm.
Tonight we continue our new series exploring how Adobe Photoshop can be used to enhance photographs. This second session will see Neil Phillips discuss the use of adjustment layers in Photoshop.
Our next meeting will be on Thursday 10th April 2025 at 8pm.
Tonight, it's 'Assignment Review' night when we discuss the images made by our members for the 'Red' photography assignment.
Our next monthly discussion session will be on Monday 21st April at 8pm.
In this Talking Pictures session we are going to look at landscape photography and consider why and how some images really have impact and drama.
Our biggest photo assignment of the year is the 'Top 3'. This one features our members' three favourite images from 2024 - Enjoy!
We have regular photo assignments throughout the year, here are the images from our last one: 'Multiple Exposure'...
