Special Interest Group
To take part in the Special Interest you must be a member of Devizes Photography Club.
Special Interest Group Workshops feature excursions to places of interest and focus on a particular area of photography e.g Street, Landscape, Wildlife and we even have a photography Treasure hunt planned. For more information please see the Workshops below.
A monthly meeting is also held at the Devizes Rugby Club on the 3rd Wednesday of the month where we either have Lightroom/Photoshop training or show images that have been taken during workshops where members can discuss the images and get help with editing if required. The outings are organised by Membership Secretary Caroline Wright, so please contact her to get information on forthcoming visits and be put on the Special Interest Workshop WhatsApp Group.
If you have knowledge of a suitable local place and would like to lead an outing then please contact Caroline.
