HDCC is delighted to present a major seven-week event – running from 5th November to 22nd December 2011 – to celebrate our sixtieth anni­versary. This exhibi­tion of photos and equipment at the fine Hertford Museum in Bull Plain includes a display of some of the best work of the Club's members over the last 60 years.

It also recalls some key photographic events, and traces the changes in photo­graphic equip­ment and techniques over the last eighty years through a broad display of iconic cameras and other historic items, as well as a tiny ‘darkroom’.

60 years of photography ...

If you need some help with any aspect of your photography – whether you're a beginner or a seasoned camera user – why not come to one of the two free Photo Surgeries, where our experienced members will do their best to assist; they cover a wide range of photo techniques, from film and the darkroom to the latest digital cameras and computer-based processing. Or you may want advice on composition, how much to zoom, or choice of view­point for maximum pictorial impact. Come along to the Museum on Wednesday 23 November, 5:00-8:00 pm, or on Saturday 10 December, 1:30-4:30 pm.

Hertford Museum is an accessible and fascinating place where local people and visitors can enjoy and be inspired by their heritage. It has been a much-loved local museum since 1903, with many interesting objects telling the story of the county town. Following a £1 million refurbishment in 2007-2008, a redesigned, well-fitted and accessible part of the historic building is now used for temporary exhibitions covering a wide range of interests, and we are delighted to be making use of this space for 'Snapshots in Time'. Hertford Museum was long-listed for the Art Fund Prize 2011, alongside nine other national museums, and although it didn't make the short list its nomination reflects its standing in the museum world.
