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).

JONATHAN VAINES presents THE LITTLE PICTURE SHOW

Jonathan takes an artistic approach to photography, stepping out of the club mainstream. Along with individual images we’ll see the motivational benefits of working with projects, sets and groups of images. Most of his images are created using ‘in camera’ techniques and, according to Jonathan, the focus of the evening is about ‘Thinking Inside the Box’. This is primarily a print talk but presented via PowerPoint with 60 prints to display during the evening.

MONTHLY COMPETITION 8
STREET PHOTOGRAPHY (PDI)

Judge: Steve Myall EFIAP/b BPE5

Definition: Street photography documents everyday life in public spaces. It can be in streets or any public space. It generally involves the candid capture of strangers and day-to-day scenes of ordinary public life. People should feature in your photos but they don’t need to be especially large in the frame.
