NCEA Photography Club

Paris, 1839. Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre photographed a shoe shine boy and his customer, these were the first people ever to be photographed! No-one else  was captured in the image as they were all moving and the long exposure required at the time only captured the two stationary people, making them famous without them even being aware that they were helping to make history.

Great news, Eddie and I have acquired two Canon DSLR cameras, a printer and accessories for the club with the help of PC World who gave us a great discount which has helped get us started.

We have made a decision on the time and day that the club will meet, it will be a Thursday between 3:30-4:30pm.

Anyone interested in taking part in the club please contact me at robert.armstrong@ncea.org.uk  or come and see me in the ICT office at the Josephine Butler Secondary Campus.

I will post regular updates to keep everyone at the academy informed and remember, everyone is welcome! Both Eddie and I want to make this a big successs and help everyone to appreciate the joys and rewards of photography, once we get on our way we will be running competitions for all age groups and staff too.

Check back here regularly for more information,
