Crowborough Creative Focus
Crowborough Creative Focus (CCF) is a photography group that is held monthly at the Old Fire Station cafe in Crowborough, on the High Street.
What Does The Group Do?
The group is about bettering your skills as a photographer and socialising with like-minded people in a relaxed environment.
Each month we will talk about the various photographic projects that the members are involved in and I will offer advice where I can.
Photography is an ongoing learning process and if you think you have room for improvement, then this could be for you.

Current Theme: Photographic Projects
For the next few months I am encouraging members to start a photographic project and I am helping them with this. Starting a project like this is a really good way to improve skills, develop a style and gain more consistency in your photography.
Every month you can submit your project images to: hello@andrewnewson.co.uk and we will slideshow them in the meeting and offer feedback where appropriate.
Submit up to and no more than 5 images.
Submit them by no later than Sunday before the meeting.
Please only submit JPGs.
If you can, please re-size them to be 2000 pixels on the long edge.
Please save each file with the following naming convention: your first name underscore your last name and a number. Like so: andrew_newson_01.jpg andrew_newson_02.jpg
We will sideshow these images in the cafe. Only images named in the above way will be considered.
