Jetty Reflections by Susanne Codrington
The Barossa Photography Club Inc. is a friendly group of photography enthusiasts who meet regularly in the Barossa Valley region of South Australia for photo walks, competitions and other events.
The group meets at 7pm on the third Thursday of each month at 21 Second Street, Nuriootpa. Each month a theme is selected and members are encouraged to bring prints and/or digital images relating to the theme as well as open theme images to be viewed at the meeting.
During the year a judging night is held with a guest judge invited to critique and score members' images.
Between meetings the members also get together for an occasional photo walk, excursion, educational session or other activity.
Visitors and potential new members are very welcome to attend meetings.
