At our July meeting we kicked off with the first 30 mins being dedicated to the club AGM. The main event of this section being the re-election of the committee. The AGM presentation plus supporting documents can be found under the Members section of this site. For the main event of the evening, we had…
Summer Walks
As the lockdown finally started to ease and we were allowed to meet in small groups outside and socially distanced, we were finally able to implement a series of countryside walks. A massive thanks to Chris Caverley for organising them and to Dave Gilbert for some expert advice on good places to see wildlife. So…
Lockdown lovelies
It was in June that we asked members to send us their favourite lockdown photos – those images that were taken during lockdown. Whilst we still can’t meet as a club yet, members are still taking fabulous photos at every opportunity. Enjoy.
Chris Upton on Landscape
Our May 2020 meeting was the second under the coronavirus lockdown. However, members weren’t disappointed as professional photographer Chris Upton stepped up to the plate to give us all the benefit of his wisdom on taking landscape photos. And what a cracking ‘virtual’ meeting it was as Chris shared his ideas and techniques with us…
OPC goes virtual!
April 2020 marked a somewhat unforeseen milestone in Ockbrook Photographic Club’s journey. The coronavirus pandemic had forced us all into lockdown – some into isolation – and caused the abandonment of the spring agenda. However, all was not lost and the club decided to try something new – a different way of doing ‘photography club’……

January Meeting – A Story in 3 Pictures

December Meeting – Gothic Review
Following on from our recent visit by Heather Burns, our theme for our December meeting was ‘Gothic’. Given that some of our members usually do almost no post processing, it was good to see that Heather had inspired so many to have a go at the techniques that she covered. I think we had a…
South Wales Photo Break 2019
An intrepid group of 9 club members made their way down to Pembrokeshire in early November to meet up at the Lovesgrove B&B for a short photographic break. What a great choice the Lovesgrove turned out to be for our base. Super rooms and the owner, ex policeman John Kilcoyne, is a larger than life…
Light Painting with Tunnel Vision!
Back in October, a hardy group of members met up one evening at a dark, wet and cold car park on the Monsal Trail at Millers Dale. Other than us, there weren’t many folk around, but we were there to meet Stephen Elliott and Andrew Mycock. After some quick introductions, we headed off down the…
