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).

MEMBERS’ EVENING - AWAY DAYS, HOLIDAYS, PORTFOLIOS & PROJECTS

Another opportunity for you to show us photos from a workshop, weekend break or something inspired by our evening of AV earlier on in the season. Perhaps you’ve achieved a photography distinction – an LRPS? If so, this is your night.

Tuesday 7th May

MATCH THE SLIDES EVENING

A fun night where Derby City takes on Nottingham & Notts Photographic Society to see who can match each other’s images in subject likeness, colour, tone, shape etc. Thus, we will need images on every genre under the sun. The evening will become more fraught as both teams start to run low on images which may result in an image of a giraffe being ‘matched’ by a shot of a tall building! Images will be marked not only for the strength of the match but also for their quality. Heckling of the judge is to be encouraged.
This is an event at Nottingham & Notts PS
