The classes take place every September or October and serve a dual purpose as they provide the club with both a source of funds and new blood for the club each year.

• An introduction to photography - including aperture, shutter speeds, lenses, filters etc
• How to compose a photograph - including portraits, lanscapes, events etc
• How to use your camera - whether you have an SLR film camera, digital SLR camera, compact digital camera or a compact camera.
• Practical sessions where experienced club members give one-to-one tutorage to show you how to use your camera and give adive on how to improve your photography using example of your photography

If you are interested in becoming a full time member of the club you will have to apply on a first come, first served basis and each membership application will be reviewed by the DPS Committee.
