The 2023 Annual Exhibition
Back in person after a four year absence!
As the culmination of another busy year, Cambridge Camera Club are proud to present the Annual Exhibition 2023. We are very excited to be back 'in the room' and printing again. Over 250 prints and 300 PDIs were chosen by 3 external selectors, and displayed at the prestigious Pitt Building in the centre of Cambridge from 24th April to 29th April. Exceptional images and printing at it’s best. Many of the members take great pride in presenting not only their camera craft but their printing skills as well. It is said that a photograph is not really complete until it is printed.
Not only does our Exhibition present many exceptional images, which will inspire many, but - as it is manned by our members, the photographers themselves - it is a great opportunity to ask questions and pick up tips and tricks on settings, kit and projects.
The Sponsors each selected their choice of image in their award category. These, along with the Young Photographer Competition winners and Mayor’s Choice, were all presented at the Open Evening for the members, the Sponsor representatives, EAF Club representatives, and His Worship, the Mayor of Cambridge, Cllr Mark Ashton, who officially opened the Exhibition.
For those unable to attend the physical Exhibition, Cambridge Camera Club - which prides itself on being a very sharing and generous club - are pleased to provide an online gallery of both Prints and PDIs for you to explore, enjoy and gain inspiration from.
