Congratulations to Uwe Ackermann for winning first prize in the "Here and Now: Interesting Oxford" photo competition at the Old Firestation Gallery, George Street, Oxford.

Uwe titled his image "Summer Eights". What attracted him was the juxtaposition of the graffiti and the apparently napping pro who is, think, the chap from BigBlade Photography, making a business of selling rowing pictures to the colleges.

Peter Upton (1935-2010) saw things differently and his view of the world pushed camera club photography beyond the complacency and familiarity of the commonplace. Rules were more of a challenge than a framework to Pete and he deliberately set out to re-write the rule book. If a judge said you couldn't or shouldn't, Pete would and in the process created something new and inspirational. His many awards are testament to his photographic legacy and this book features the images that he was widely known and admired for.

Welcome

 Welcome to the Oxford Photographic Society (OPS) website.

It's all about pictures and the desire to communicate, so our aim is to promote an appreciation of all forms of photography. OPS is a photographic community in which you can express and share your view of the world.

OPS welcomes photographers regardless of experience or the equipment they use and our 2011-12 season once again offers a wide range of opportunities to enjoy and develop your interest in photography through our weekly meetings, special interest groups and photo-trips. Members also have access to our Community page with a forum and photo-gallery to share their latest work for feedback.

New for this season is a Special Interest Group for those new to photography who want to develop practical skills; it all looks very exciting and is set to further enhance our reputation as one of the leading photography groups in the UK.

If you would like to know more take a look around the web site or contact us - we look forward to welcoming you to one of our meetings...and to see what we are doing just click here.
