- Dapa Group was founded in 2002 as a creative digital photography group for the more experienced amateur photographer.
- As a group, we capture a wide variety of subject matter and styles. From landscape and natural history studies to portrait and figure work, from still life to abstract, and from documentary photography to travel. Dapa Group, like many other photography club’s or societies, is divided into sections, this is so members can progress with their hobby at a steady pace, and not feel pressurised or intimidated by photographers working at a higher level.
- Dapa consists of two main photography groups.

Best Group on Flickr™ |

- This is our main photography group on Flickr™. Membership to this group is free and open to all photographers, irrespective of geographical location. Our Flickr™ group has no association with any photographic body, other than the photo-sharing community groups on Flickr™. The aim of this group is to provide an ever increasing pool of motivating images, not only for our own members to derive inspiration from, but for others too. It is from our base on Flickr™ that we systemise our programme of events, having been a member since 2007.
- Dapa offers four more areas of interest for its members, these are:
- Our discussion forum is open to any photographer, current member or otherwise, for the exchange of information, relating in some way towards photography. The forum image pool is given over to one lucky forum member each month, who wishes to showcase their photography in the form of a mini-exhibition. A quick click on the gallery link will display the work of our current exhibitor.
- Dapa Group, from the outset has always enjoyed a healthy competitive spirit in fact our members pride themselves on the quality of work submitted. Since 2004 the group has organised a weekly photo contest, so popular are our contests we now have an official sponsor in the form of Simon Smith of Perfect Images UK. Does competitive photography interests you? If so, more details can be found Here.

- The images that make up this competition are decided on by the votes counted in the Perfect Images Photo Challenge. The top three scoring images, as voted for by our group members each week form the foundations.

The author of the final winning image is crowned Dapa Group “Photographer of the Year”.
- In addition to our weekly photo activities members are also encouraged to show their appreciation of their fellow members work by participating in the groups “Merit Award” scheme. Merit awards are distributed by Dapa Group members to images they consider to be inspirational within the group. Images that receive five or more merit awards will be invited to join and share those images in the Dapa Group Hall of Fame.
