Hosted by Mark Grey, this group allows members and non members to showcase their passion for the photographic negative and photographic print. 


Meeting Dates

The Exp Group is held on the first Monday of every month, at 7pm, (except public holidays)


Next Meeting: The Print Part 1: Monday 1st Sept 2025 at 7pm                                                     


Member Mark Grey will present some ideas to take the group forward in the coming year... He writes:


Hello EXP-ers!


In June 2025 I had the opportunity to come up with EXP Group program for the next 12 months.


I tend to join interest groups to develop and improve my woeful photography skills. And think it may be worth planning the monthly meetings to help develop those ideas skills and analog photo-muscles that are atrophying.

To that end: is there anything you might want to know learn or improve?

(We need 12 suggestions to make a year’s program).

Before the meeting on the 2nd can you give your noodle a scratch and come prepared with stuff you would like to do?

The sort of things I’m thinking of are:

  • improving darkroom techniques
  • ⁠producing cyanotypes
  • ⁠using rangefinders
  • exposures
  • ⁠etc


Feel free to bring some of yours, if you have them (kallitype, cyanotype, platinum/ palladium, salt prints etc).


We’re hoping to stimulate discussion about what it would take to have facilities available at the club to do some of these processes. 

Now that we have a nice big printer capable of producing large digital negatives, maybe not so much…


If you’re interested in these processes, please come along! 


We’re looking for ideas, discussion and hopefully volunteers to help make things happen!
