Welcome

FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Thank you for visiting our website. I will thank you even more if you visit our club, especially as we are entering an exciting new phase in moving to a new venue: Strutts Community Centre in Belper.

Over 40 years, Derby City Photographic has also built up a reputation as a friendly club where prospective members are given a warm welcome. They also come into a healthy fold of eager-to-learn beginners right through to experienced practitioners who both inspire and help others.

We also have an enviable reputation for the quality of our lectures, and encourage the spirit of competition through monthly themed contests in both digital and print.

We have a flourishing photo library, too – over 100 books.

Derby City PC is also one of the 40-plus members of the North & East Midlands Photographic Federation (N&EMPF) which is itself affiliated to the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain (PAGB).

JAMES MILLS presents LANDSCAPE & LIGHT

What a perfect season opener: a rare lecture from a Derbyshire photographer who has been acclaimed for his atmospheric landscapes, notably of Peak District woodlands. We’ll also see the striking imagery James produced when he branched out into light-painting the landscape, as shown recently in major features in both Canon EOS and Outdoor Photography magazine. There will also be a glimpse of James’s latest project: photographing the numerous temple sites of Cambodia.
