Why CCD Cameras?
CCD sensors are known for their vibrant colour reproduction, smooth tonal transitions, and that unmistakable “look” that many photographers cherish. If you’ve ever felt nostalgic about the early days of digital photography or simply appreciate the aesthetic of CCD images, you’ll feel right at home here.
Join Us!
If you have a camera with a CCD sensor (or even if you’re just curious), come along to our next photo walk! We welcome photographers of all skill levels—whether you’re shooting with an old-school DSLR, a compact point-and-shoot, or anything in between.
Let’s capture the city in a whole new light, one frame at a time.
