Take your photography to the next level with the Los Alcazares Digital Camera Club
Learn how to take better photos with the Los Alcázares Digital Camera Club (LADCC)
With Christmas and New Year festivities now behind us, it gives us a chance to look for new ‘things’ to do, perhaps something that you have been thinking about for some time but never got around to doing?
We are blessed with such a beautiful environment around the Mar Menor, whether it is beach activities, beautiful walks, varying backdrops or the simply magnificent wildlife to enjoy. But how many times do you think, “I wish I could take a photo of that”?
These days, it’s quite simple to get your phone out and quickly snap a photo, but sometimes this may not be able to capture the moment or indeed the scene.
How many of us have taken a picture of, say a moving object or a stunning bird, and ended up with this? The moment’s gone!
However, with a bit of help from an enthusiastic group with a wide range of skills and a willingness to help each other improve could you change the above photo into this?
The Los Alcázares Digital Camera club meets twice a month, usually with an indoor discussion group or tutorial, and once a month embark on a local outing. They also have a monthly competition, which is not just for expert photographers but open to all members. The idea is to encourage each other to improve their skills and to gain knowledge from other like minded enthusiasts. Whilst the group meets in the Los Alcázares area, they encourage participants from all around the area to come and join.

Share the pleasure of photography in the Mar Menor area
The Los Alcázares Digital Camera Club (LADCC) was founded in 2006 and was originally called the LA Digital Cafe, where members met over a coffee to discuss photography. This quickly developed into a more formal programme of monthly photo competitions and outings to places of photographic interest.
Over the years, the club has adapted to the changes in camera technology and techniques, and continued throughout Covid by using ‘Zoom’ for online meetings and learning sessions.
Fast forward to 2024, and the club is now a small, enthusiastic, friendly group where members encourage and support each other at the start of, and throughout, their photographic journey. The group includes a wide range of people with varying skills, all of whom are happy to share techniques, tips and ideas to improve one’s hobby.
They have monthly competitions and outings that provide an opportunity to explore different aspects of photography and develop camera craft and artistic skills. Their indoor sessions may include in-house training, reviews of monthly competitions or planning outings to cover topics discussed.
They meet once a month at the ‘Centro Cultural las Claras’ in Los Narejos, which has super facilities and ample parking. Any outings are usually towards the end of the month to link in with our regular competitions.
New members are most welcome and if you would like more information, please make contact as follows:
