Welcome to the Nottingham Outlaws
The Nottingham Outlaws are an inspiring, friendly camera club based in Carlton, Nottingham.
Meetings are held throughout the year almost every Thursday evening at the Richard Herrod Leisure Centre in Carlton.
There is a very informal and relaxed atmosphere to meetings and the varied programme includes inspiring lectures, practical evenings and monthly photographic competitions throughout the year.
The Outlaws are affiliated to the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain (PAGB) through the North and East Midlands Photographic Federation (N&EMPF).
The Club was established in January 1987 and caters for all who are interested in photography, traditional or digital, whether they are just starting out or have been taking photographs for many years and would like to meet like minded people.
New members are always welcome, you should find the club both inspiring and informative. If you are interested in joining us then come along for a week or two before you make a decision. Take a look at the membership page for further details.

Thursday 3rd June – Flash Photography Demo
Posted by Chris Rickels on June 2, 2010
Some of you might have met Steve who was a guest at the last club competition. He is actually a photography lecturer specialising in studio and portrait work. We have invited him to give us a tutorial session on June 3rd, he will be bringing kit and a model, also some money off offers at Calumet. The idea being that he does a half hour talk, then we move onto shooting the model.
This should be an excellent opportunity to work with studio lights/flash with expert guidance available.

Portrait evening
Posted by Chris Rickels on June 5, 2010
The second Nottingham Outlaws Portrait evening of the year was a great chance to learn a bit more about using off camera flash. Specifically balancing the ambient light with flash to make portraits really “pop”.
Many thanks to Steve and model Katherine for their advice and inspiration ( and patience! )
Some of the results of the night can be seen below.
