ALONG with our sister paper, the Dorset Echo, the Echo Camera Club Dorset has been launched to give photographers the chance to see their images published online and in print.

As well as the chance their pictures could be viewed by potentially millions of people, there will also be monthly competitions with a £50 jackpot and the chance to meet professional photographers.

You can join our dedicated Facebook group where members can share their best snaps and tips, get feedback and ask for advice.

Our competition will have a different theme each month, and we’d love you to suggest some ideas for what you’d like to see as well.

There will even be special prizes for picture events taking place across Dorset. Sign up now!
