Are there any photography clubs or enthusiasts in South Wales?

I'm looking for any photography clubs in South Wales to join, preferably near Ystrad Mynach/Caerphilly. Alternatively any photography enthusiasts that would like a camera buddy, maybe you could teach me a thing or two! I prefer landscape/nature/sports photography as I have little to no experience with portraiture - although I'd love to learn how to take good portraits.

http://www.thewpf.co.uk/ This is the link for the Welsh Photographic Federation to which many photography clubs belong. They should be able to help you.

its not really of help to your question but if you didn't already use it flickr is a great place to show of your pics.

and learning how to edit them slighty just by cropping them down can turn a good pic into a great one

Couple of photography courses in adult
education in your area - see website below. If you ring them they may be able to give you contact details for photography clubs in the area.
Other suggestions - visit your local library or contact your local authority. Both may have details of local clubs and organisations.

Drop into your local library.
Most libraries carry lists of all Organisations, Leisure Groups, etc. in the area
P.S. I've just googled "Caerphilly Camera Club" and it's come up with a couple of sites which may be of interest to you.

Join http://www.redbubble.com/ its totaly free, and then check out the group
http://www.redbubble.com/wales-rich-in-b...

You will find a few in your area. It is a good place to learn, and you can also sell your stuff on there.

If you join, contact me through here.

Forget flickr. Its useless. Anyone can download your work for FREE.
