Clubs & Societies

Adderbury, Deddington and District Photographic Society have had a busy time over the last few months.  In December they hosted Peter Greenway, a volunteer photographer for The National Trust, who spoke about his use of technology in his work.  In January their speaker, Andreas Klatt Chairman of the Royal Photographic Society Visual Art Group, worked with the members to try and select suitable prints for qualification for the Licentiateship of the Royal Photographic Society.

Together with their regular set discussion topics, ‘Odd One Out’ in December and ‘My Best Three Images of 2019’ in January, the Society has had a busy time.  The attached photo is one of the 2019 three favourites.

The next presentation will be given on 5 February by Nathan Barry, entitled ‘Landscape Thought Process’, at 19:30 in the Apricot Room, Cartwright Hotel, Aynho OX17 3BE – everyone is welcome to attend.

The full report of the December and January meetings is below and some of the members’ pictures can be found on the Society’s website.
