Portrait 1

One of the original images for Pimp my Photo.

Portrait 2

Here is the image after it was ‘pimped’ by Dave Ford. The subject of the portrait is a keen sci-fi fan, hence this treatment.

The Archive

Since  2005 Conwy Camera Club has collected more than 500 photos taken by past and present members of the club. Some of the images, usually winners of club competitions, represent the creativity, enthusiasm and skill of club members over the decades. Others record ordinary scenes, mostly in North Wales, in the distant or recent past or document changes in progress, such as construction of the A55 road or demolition of buildings on Conwy Quay.

Here is a small sample of the work held in the archive, which is continuing to expand. The best place to view more archive images is at the Conwy Festival of Photography, held annually by the club in late summer.

HMS Royal Oak

Harry Rogers Jones  c.1937

There were no caption details with this photo, but we believe it shows HMS Royal Oak on a recruitment visit to Llandudno. The ship was sunk in Scapa Flow, Orkney, on 14 October 1939. Many of the 833 who died on board were boy soldiers. Any further information about this event would be welcome!

Further details of the ship are here:
