Outings

Our outings are an opportunity to practice your skills in Seeing and Taking photographs with help from the more  expert  photographers in the APG. So everyone can come back having learned new skills  and taken  some good images. We also travel about to local photography exhibitions. Here are some recent examples.

Magnum Manifesto Exhibition

Fireworks Championships, Stanford Hall

Sywell Classic: Pistons & Props

Featuring group and individual projects, the exhibition included  magazine spreads, newspaper articles, excerpts from books, and other  rarely-seen material, putting some of the world’s most recognisable  images in a creative context. The exhibition captured over 70 years of  history and presented the greatest events of the era alongside the more  commonplace moments of everyday life.

Sywell Classic: Pistons & Props

Fireworks Championships, Stanford Hall

Sywell Classic: Pistons & Props

Every September Sywell Aerodrome hosts an event which combines historic racers, hot rods and motorbikes with classic  planes and vintage music to create a fantastic two-day event,  celebrating classic motoring on the ground and in the air.

Our members braved the inclement weather and came back with lots of well-seen and well-composed images.

Fireworks Championships, Stanford Hall

Fireworks Championships, Stanford Hall

We have visited Stanford Hall on a couple of occasions for this annual event. Both times we seem to get a short, sharp soaking before the rain vanishes and the fun begins. Photographing fireworks can be tricky, but working together to find the right settings enabled everyone to come back with some good images.

Street Photography Workshop

Vintage Car Weekend, Silverstone

Fireworks Championships, Stanford Hall

For this event we brought along Damien Demolder (previously editor of Amateur Photography) to give us some hints and tips on how to capture images on the streets of Northampton. We were not hopeful - it was Northampton not London - but everyone learned lots and there were indeed images to be made in Northampton.

1940’s Wartime Weekend

Vintage Car Weekend, Silverstone

Vintage Car Weekend, Silverstone

We bought our tickets and spent a fun day at the Great Central Railway in Leicestershire photograhing the day's events. The challenge we set was to exclude anything that would show the photograph was taken in the 21st century. It was not as easy as it sounded, so a keen eye, patience and cropping out anything modern was key. 

Vintage Car Weekend, Silverstone

Vintage Car Weekend, Silverstone

Vintage Car Weekend, Silverstone

It's an iconic location, but it can be extremely frustrating; finding a place from which to photograph is tricky due to all of the barriers. Sitting in the Britcih Racing Drivers Club stand was one location where you could get an unimpeded view of the circuit - shame they head away from you just at that point!

2021 outings

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic all outings are on hold until further notice, but as soon as restrictions are relaxed in 2021 we will be advertising our next outings here.


Anne Wright manages our outings and she will co-ordinate the event and circulate details for those members attending.
