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).

DEREK DOAR DPAGB presents A PASSION FOR PANORAMICS

Derek shares his love of panoramas (largely images with an aspect ratio of 2:1 or 3:1). Although most of the images are of the landscape (prepare yourself for some fabulous vistas of the Outer Hebrides), Derek will show us that the panoramic format can be applied to all genres of photography.

LESLEY GRAND SCRUTTON presents A FEW OF MY FAVOURITE THINGS

It’s always a pleasure to spend an evening taking in the splendour of prints – whether colour or black & white - especially when we have a photographer as passionate as Lesley, who will take us through a wide variety of subject matter, and show her penchant for panels.

‘Lesley’s prints are a breath of fresh air. She is authentic, eloquent and inspirational’ - Desborough & Rothwell PS
