Who are we ...
Here is a little history to explain the purpose of this photo club.
"Prigonrieux is a small town of +/- 4000 inhabitants, west of Bergerac, and located between two photo clubs, on the one hand the Bergerac photo club and on the other hand the Montpon photo club. One , the closest, is focused on competitions, the other located 35 km away is more geared towards experienced photographers. Between the two there is a club missing allowing beginners to learn the basics of photography and for the more experienced to refine their knowledge. As digital technology has become highly democratized, people are tempted, for example when going on vacation, to buy a camera and often a device with powerful settings but not put into practice by the lack of knowledge of the parameters essential to the quality of a photo.
It is for this purpose that this club was created in Prigonrieux, first of all because I live there and secondly because I wanted to share my knowledge and allow other experienced photographers to help me in this stain."
Text by David MOLLATTE (Founder of the club with Antoite and Fabienne HUREL)
It was on September 8, 2011 that the association was created.
The club now has around fifteen beginner and experienced enthusiasts.
Our meetings are held in the Prigonrieux association hall on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month from 8:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.
The aim of these is the exchange on everything relating to photography, from shooting to printing, including the computer development of RAW files.
Depending on the needs, the emphasis is placed on the camera settings, how and why to apply this or that choice...
Framing and composition are important factors in taking a good photo.
The projection of these keys and the constructive criticism (point of view and advice) from everyone, allow the author as well as the other participants to improve their techniques during the next photographic sessions.
We thus deepen our knowledge of the rules that govern photography. (Adjustments, rule of thirds, depth of field, focus, subject emphasis, etc.)
The club organizes several photo outings during the season. This allows us to compare everyone's work...the way of seeing things and representing them. One or more exhibitions are also organized each year to make us known and show what we do.
The club is affiliated with the French Photographic Federation.
Anyone can, if they wish, join, participate in competitions or take advantage of the advantages offered by it. Promotions on various hardware or software are offered to FPF members.
The card can facilitate access for the holder, during certain festive events, to take photos.
The Photo club is affiliated with the French Photographic Federation under number 14-2052
