Joining a camera club

A question we get asked a lot is why should you join a camera club, society or organisation. With social media being such a fundamental part of any growing photographers education these days, camera clubs can seem like a remnant of older generations.

Either way, if you have an interest in photography there are many good reasons to think about joining a camera club.
