Thanks for all the great advice everyone . I think I'll go along on monday and give it a go.
I just had a look at the Lancashire and Cheshire Photographic Union's site and I had no idea there were so many clubs around, it seems there is another 2 not too far from me aswell - sadly Atherton is quite a distance from me though.

I noticed that there is a photography club right near where I live (after a quick googling ) and I was wondering if I should go along one night - but as I am still new to photography I'm not too sure if I should or not because of this .
Any suggestions?
This is their website that I found:

By all means get your photo first, priorities after all!

Cheers for all the suggestions guys - definitely some creative ones! I'll have to try and make something later on tonight and give it a go .

Thanks John, It was actually found on the window outside - so it could have been from the neighbours house or off the huge pile of firewood we brought home.
Oops I forgot to mention that I used the built in flash - I think I might have a look at flashguns very soon .

Is there anyway I can stop the flash from being so harsh on shiny beetles like this one? Any light just seems to bounce off them

Great images !
I suspect that a similar thing happened to my brothers RS6 when he had that - it came back with a nice coat of white "dust" and a refurbished, can spray-painted alloy wheel, he wasn't happy at all .

I've been to a couple of events at one of the Bradford clubs and it seems a very supportive atmosphere...
They were very keen to sign new members up (which as my lifestyle is currently all over the place just wasn't feesable... A pay-per-session would work better for me...) and very friendly towards people of all skill levels...
Most clubs appear to publish a calender of events well in advance which I think is a good move, although some seem to have an obsession toward competition photography which I think can put less competitive types off...
A lot of major cities will have more than one club or group... Make enquiries and join the one that best suits your needs... Or join both!
