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).

MONTHLY COMPETITION 6
TRAVEL PHOTOGRAPHY (PDI)

Judge: David Kissman CPAGB BPE3 AFIAP

Definition: Travel photography includes the traditional elements of sun, sand and sea, ice cream in hand under a canopy of endless blue sky. However, it might consist of the road less travelled. A great travel photo has the power to tell an entire story in a single image or motivate one to go to that destination.

THOMAS PECK CPAGB LRPS presents ARCHITECTURAL PHOTOGRAPHY

Images of buildings, particularly black & white, long exposure, ‘fine art’ photos of modern architecture, have become very popular recently. Thomas’s talk will take us through image making techniques and processing tips which have led him to create spectacular photographs of buildings. We’ll see examples from London, Paris, Venice & New York, whether using a high end DSLR or just a mobile phone.
