From macro, still life, wildlife, reed beds, the canal and the railway line, Thatcham Discovery Centre provides many different environments to practice. Don't forget to bring your camera!
Caution:
If you go close to the railway line, stay super aware of approaching trains. It's easy to get lost in the moment of taking a photo and forget where you are!
Parking:
The main car park closes at 8.00p.m. so make sure you park up the lane on the Newbury side (West) of the lakes where there is a smaller car park. There is also space much further up this lane nearer the reed beds.

The Mix & Match competition is a game where two photographic club teams take turns to display a photo on one projector whilst the other team tries to match it in some way with one of their photos on the other projector. With only 35 photos each and restricted to play each photo once only.... the teams have to think and play tactically.
As well as enjoying the inevitable banter between the teams, the audience get to see some great photos. An independent judge will declare how well (or not) the photos match, awarding points accordingly. What does the winning team get at the end of the evening? Respect and bragging rights!

For Matt as a photographer there is a total lack of distraction in the stillness of a derelict building; the sound and movement associated with people has been removed, which makes the buildings far more sensory than when they were occupied. The mind can focus and take in so much more.
He makes no apologies for photographing ruins and abandonment for he finds something positive, an uplifting or beautiful aspect to a situation that others may find distressing.
