If you’re interested in photography, you have come to the right place. The Open Photographic Society does it all : • digital and traditional;  • colour;       • black-and-white;    • infrared;      • photo-art etc. One of the many advantages of the Open Photographic Society is that it has space for everyone regardless of their objectives, ability, experience, location, or the nature of their photography. We are perhaps unique in that we meet only on the internet, thereby freeing ourselves from the geographical limitations of meeting rooms. This approach enables us to offer a wide range of services, including some that are available from traditional local photographic societies and some which are not. We cater for people interested in prints, projected images, digital imaging, monochrome, studio work, specialized techniques such as infrared, and even mobile phone photography and holography. We also encourage beginners and all those seeking an introduction to the world of photography. An exhibition is staged every year to showcase the work of photographers associated with the Society, and to open the door to the possibility of selling images. We always welcome new photographers. Find out more by browsing the website or making contact with the Society. |

 The Society has recently introduced a classified advertisements section. All the advertisements are related in a reasonably direct manner to photography. Adverts can be browsed, and the relevant advertisers may be contacted, without registering for an account.  However, advertisers wishing to post advertisements must either register their details to create an account from which they can control and update their own advertisements, or

so that we can place their advertisements for them.  Single advertisements currently cost only £10 per year, and highlighted adverts cost just an additional £5 for a 100-day highlighting period. Multiple adverts placed by the same advertiser can be purchased with a single payment, and also attract a discount. Given the substantial number of people all over the world who use our website, these introductory rates represent a real bargain. |

On June 21, the longest day of the year, Eastman Kodak announced the demise of Kodachrome - arguably the world's most successful colour film. The film has been on the market in various forms for 74 years, but has now become the latest victim of the digital revolution. Kodachrome gained the respect of both professional and amateur photographers across the globe, and was regarded for much of its life as the best medium for capturing true colours in fine-grain images. Indeed, it is claimed that a 35mm Kodachrome image contains more information than a similar frame produced by a 20 megapixel digital camera. The final rolls of the product are to be given to the George Eastman House photography museum in Rochester, New York. Steve McCurry, the National Geographic photographer who captured the extraordinary and now world-famous image of the Afghan refugee, will expose one of these final rolls and donate the images to the museum. |

Landscape photographers should find our new sun-angle calculator extremely useful. It calculates the azimuth and elevation angles of the sun for any specified location, elevation and local time. The calculator is simple to use but also supported by comprehensive and illustrated help information. It may be found in the Utilities section of the site, or by clicking here. The calculator has been made available to the Society by kind permission of Christopher Gronbeck of Sustainable By Design, Seattle, USA, to whom we are most grateful. |

Prints by Dayle Ann Clavin, a photographer living in Austria, are now available from the Print Sales section - click here.
Dayle Ann Clavin strives to capture the beauty in the world. Her work reveals the seemingly small and unpretentious with the result that one is aware of the harmony and perfection to be found in everyday life. She finds the fantastic in the real, feeling strongly that life itself presents the best material.
Dayle Ann Clavin is a native Californian who has spent the last 20 years in Europe. She originally studied music at the University of California and later at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria, followed by a career as a flute teacher and chamber music player. In more recent years she discovered her love for photography, worked intensely in black and white inspired by the zone system of Ansel Adams, and the work of many legendary photographers of the early 1900`s. During this time numerous images were published in the well known German-Swiss magazine "PHOTOGRAPHIE" and her work was exhibited in Austria, including the Nikon Gallery in Vienna, Panoptikum Gallery of the Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende.
Dayle Ann Clavin's complete biography may be found in the profiles section, and details of her book may be found in the list of books by OPS people. |
