Derby City Photographic Club is for everyone, from the complete beginner to the professional photographer. We have a weekly programme with a wide diversity of excellent speakers, covering an extensive range of photographic interests from landscape, nature, and portraits, through to sports photography and travel. We also hold monthly competitions for members, usually with both a "Theme" and "Open" competition.
A typical club evening will last just over two hours with a break in the middle, during which time members will usually chat, help themselves to hot drinks and also make use of our excellent club library to borrow books or DVDs on various areas of photography. This is also a time maybe to book some of the equipment we have on offer to assist in monitor and printer calibration.
We are a friendly club, and the more experienced members are always happy to advise those with less experience; in addition to which we often hold workshops on various more technical aspects of photography, and photo walks whereby advice can be given in the field' (quite literally), or many times afterwards in the pub!
