SHUTTERBUGS is a group of amateur photo
enthusiasts living in and around Alhaurin de la
Torre & Alhaurin el Grande. They gathered together for their
inaugural meeting on January 13, 2005 and after
just over one year, they all feel that they have
impressed themselves with how far they have come
with their photographic skills and the enjoyment
they have received from their efforts! Both
digital and single reflex cameras are used,
however, the group has tended to favour the
digital and has endeavoured to learn more about
digital photography enhancement by sharing
knowledge and using several computer programs.
This is a typical type of group discussion when
holding an “in house” meeting.
The group meets twice a month on a Friday. Once
a month the group meets at Sol Andalusi from 2
to 4 PM for an in-house session. The other
meeting is normally an outside photo shoot at a
selected location, with a particular subject
matter and the assignment is for each member to
present two photos for judging. Two weeks later,
the group meets to review the photos and judge
the two winners by secret ballot. These winning
photographs are then displayed at Sol Andalusi
and are also available to view on the
T.A.P.A.S. web site. After judging the
photos and discussing them, a pre-arranged
subject is then reviewed with discussion and/or
hands on activity. Photo shoot outings are
scheduled approximately 2 or 3 sessions in
advance and depending upon the location, a lunch
is organized for the group to further enhance
the day. Sometimes we might have in-house photo
shoots such as Portraits or Still Life.
In addition to the regular photographic shoots,
the group has an ongoing Special Project photo
which is done on an individual basis over a
period of approximately 3 months. In the past we
have had projects such as Mystery Objects,
Christmas Scenes, and Doorways.
Please have a look at THE SHUTTERBUGS Photo
Shoot Winners and other member photographs from
the past year, all here on the web site. You
will also find more information about upcoming
photo shoots and special events.
