Mid Argyll Camera Club

17/10/2026

Professional photographer Andrew Wallace ( awallacephoto.uk ) was our 1st guest speaker of the new season last week. Tasked with explaining 'What goes through a photographer's mind just before (s)he clicks the shutter' Andrew treated us to a truly fascinating insight: supporting his presentation with so many wonderful examples of his work.
This coming Wednesday [21st October]: led by our very own professional photographer Verina Litster ( verinalitsterphotography.com ); we'll have an opportunity to put our own cameras to work as we learn about Portrait Photography and put into practice some of the many hints, tips & tricks she will be sharing with us - using one of the pop-up studios we'll be setting up for the evening at The MS Centre.
So bring your cameras [tripods too: if you have them] and be ready to have some fun learning new & useful skills.

Mid Argyll Camera Club Exhibition Opens at Dochas Carers Centre

We are delighted to have been invited to use Dochas Carers Centre's gallery space for a special exhibition showcasing the talents of local photographers.

The exhibition opened Wednesday 8 July and will feature a variety of photographic works capturing landscapes, wildlife, people and places from across Argyll and beyond. Visitors will have the opportunity to browse and purchase photographs, making it a perfect chance to support local creativity while also contributing to a worthy cause.

We will be donating 20% of all sales from the exhibition to Dochas Carers Centre, helping the charity continue its work supporting unpaid adult carers throughout Mid Argyll, Kintyre and the Islands.

Everyone is invited to come along, enjoy the exhibition and discover the impressive work of local photographers. Whether you are an art enthusiast, photography lover, or simply looking for a unique gift, there will be something for everyone to enjoy.
