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 2012-13 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. You can find out more about membership of OPS here.

New for this season is a Mentorship Programme, giving new or less experienced photographers the opportunity to link up with an OPS member of their choice for 1-to-1 help and support. All our mentors have listed the free support they can offer on our Community Page (requires membership log-in details). 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 website or contact us. We look forward to welcoming you to one of our meetings; you are invited to visit us on any Tuesday evening...and to see what we are doing just click here.
