About Us
In 2014...
The Ballantyne Photography Club was created by Colin Hocking, an accomplished nature photographer, with the expressed desire to help fellow photographers in the area improve their skills at capturing light.
11 years later we celebrate that concept with fresh ideas on expanding our abilities to help other's learn, and to give back to the community. The Ballantyne Photography Club is committed to those who want to learn how to be better photographers, are interested in building a community of friendly artists, and to have fun doing it all together.
