The Jersey Photographic Club is pleased to give you an opportunity to have a look at the work of its members which includes a wide range of subject matter, styles, and photographic techniques expressed in both colour and monochrome prints.
Many of these images have not been on public display before, so this is a unique chance to see them close-up in an intimate venue.
Most of the prints will be for sale, and if you see something you like but would prefer in a different size or format, you can make a request to the photographer through the gallery staff.
If you are interested in photography, you may also be inspired to find out more about the club – during the exhibition there will be information available about the club’s history, its activities, and how to join.
The Harbour Gallery in St Aubin is the perfect setting to see this body of photographic work – you can enjoy a drink and a snack in the on-site cafe either before or after your visit – or both.

A fantastic first shoot at Le Hocq last evening.

ISS across the sun...
If you manage to watch ITV Channel News this evening you should see an interview with JPC member Gordon Pollock explaining how he managed to capture his stunning image of the International Space Station transiting the sun.
CTV has already published an article which includes a video of the interview with some additional images.
Well done Gordon!
A very impressive image which shows how careful planning and attention to detail are needed for this type of image...
