I found it all just a bit stuffy
I'd Love to start one of my own but I like to attend one where I can learn a few more techniques, without being eyed up that I am going to be obnoxiouse whipper snapper.

Oops! just did a Wicki and it`s the oldest clock in the World
I have a picture of it. I will do another one. I don't pay to enter the house of god as it's a donation and I am sure the almighty wouldn't mind me taking pictures of a clock. Glad they stopped it chiming as it was loud and made me a nervous wreck.

...my photography helps take my mind off that.
Or paint your camera pink
PS my wife and I found a marvellous coffee shop in one of the main streets with a great selection of cakes.
I want to take photo's of things tourists don't normally see, instead of the cathedral all the time.

Anyone else know of any famous photograph's please? I know of one's taken in Vietnam, but that's probably a long story.

I have a close friend who is a Committee member. I can put you in touch with him. I know that he will make you welcome. please do not judge the club from these two miserable men.
Salisbury club is well respected in the Southern Association and will be very disappointed at your experience.
I shall be seeing Adrian here on the Isle of Wight this coming week.
If you are willing to give it another try, I will tell him of your concerns at taking a camera out on your own. I am sure he will respond and be a good tutor. He is a proffesional photographer with a keen interest in helping young people.
If you are set against another club experience, I am sure Adrian will offer you help outside of the club.
regards Thoramay.
I think Adrian needs to know why younger members are not turning up to join Salisbury camera club. These two people (man and wife) used to run a shop along Bridge Street before they retired. I am just very wary of joining a camera club now because it usually turns out that most of the members are seniors, and these two in Salisbury club seemed a bit hostile towards younger people.
It's good to learn off the older generation but some of them need to realise (no offence intended here) that we are not all yobs and hoodies.
Another thing I should have mentioned is that I have boarderline learning difficulties and suffer from depression, my photography helps take my mind off that. I am going to become a full member of the Pentax forum if I can, I have learnt a lot here.
Is there a Pentax meet up group on this forum?

As you are a student, does your college or university have a camera club?
Don't be worried about going out with your camera. A Pentax camera on the end of 18 inches or so of strap makes a pretty formidable weapon

Sad really as there are some good younger photographers out there.

Something that doesn't scream 'I HAVE AN EXPENSIVE CAMERA INSIDE OF ME!'
Thanks.
