November is here, and our 2026–27 season is already full of inspiration, creativity and friendly competition at Littlehampton and District Camera Club.

We’ve enjoyed three fantastic speaker evenings so far, each bringing a different perspective on photography. Alex Bamford opened the series in September with Moonlighting, followed by Jon Hawkins with Journey into the Wild. In October, our own Paul O’Toole shared his enthusiasm and expertise in Infrared & Adapted Lenses, encouraging us to explore new ways of seeing and creating images.

A big thank you to all three speakers for helping to get our season off to such an inspiring start.

Our competition programme is also well underway. We’ve already completed our first Merit Print and Projected Digital Image (PDI) competitions, alongside the Summer Cup and our Portrait competition. Thank you to everyone who has entered and shared their work, and to those who help organise these evenings. Taking part is a valuable opportunity to enjoy one another’s photography, exchange ideas and keep developing our skills.

Tonight, Wednesday 11 November, we welcome Andrew Mills with Shoot First Ask Later. With a focus on street portraiture, it promises to be another stimulating evening for anyone interested in photographing people.

There’s plenty more to look forward to in the speaker programme:

• 25 November — Jerry Webb: Photography with an Edge, exploring monochrome photography.
• 9 December — John Cole: My Life in Photography, with a focus on social documentary.
• 20 January 2027 — Louise Welcome: Finding Your Own Voice, exploring landscape photography.
• 10 February 2027 — Chris Simmons: Wild Light & Reflections, a fine art photography talk delivered via Zoom.
• 10 March 2027 — Colleen Slater: The Small Things in Life, exploring the world of macro photography.

Whether you enjoy landscapes, wildlife, portraits or experimenting with different techniques, there’s plenty to spark your curiosity over the coming months.
