Fred Galley with top Photographs of the Year 2009
2009 was an eventful year for Heacham Digital Camera Club. We exhibited our photographs locally several times during the year which was a great success as some of the club members sold framed photographs which really does give you a boost.
Heather Brown from Snettisham had a photograph chosen for The Wash Calender 2010 also, Heather and husband Trevor were asked to provide many of their photographs for Corgi News which obviously includes The Royal Family. Derek Dean from Hunstanton was runner up in West Norfolk in Bloom photography competition. Alan Walker is having some of his photographs used in a book about the North Norfolk Coast and along with wife Viv have many photographs on the Lancashire Heeler website which were also used on the large screens at Crufts in March this year and many of their framed local photographs furnish the walls of Millbridge Nursing Home in Heacham. Club members’ photographs are being used for websites which we are honoured to provide. We have also been selling local scene cards, bookmarks, postcards and magnets. Should anyone wish to enquire about these, just email us.

Stylus on a moving record by Michaela Dartford, HDCC
The camera club ran a Male V Female competition last year on ‘Movement’. This was judged by Roy Williamson who is very well qualified in photography after many years as Lynn News Photographer, and what a lovely man………he chose the ladies as the winning team. He only came in the room after the two batches of entries were laid out, so didn’t see which was which and wasn’t open to bribery either. All the ladies were so pleased, as normally it`s a man who wins photographer of the year so guess we have proved we are as good as the men when it comes to photography.
Just thought I would include in this article a picture with a difference, a stylus on a moving record, which was one of the winning team entries by Michaela Dartford.
Anyone wishing to join us or wanting more information on our fun nights at The Sandringham Club, West Newton can email: heachamdigitalcameraclub@yahoo.co.uk or call me, Viv on 07906 056019.
