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, PROJECTS & PORTFOLIOS

Whether you holidayed in Bognor or Bologna, or went on a photo shoot in Skye or Skomer, you are invited to give a short PowerPoint presentation. We would like to see your photo projects, too. Maybe you produced a portfolio of pictures – or maybe an audio-visual - after one of our club trips? Or perhaps you’re working towards a photo distinction? If so, let’s see your pictures.
