The
Digital Artists & Photography Associates, (DAPA) Group was
founded in 2002 for the more experienced proletarian 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.
Like
many other photography clubs or societies, DAPA group 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.

This is our top flight group, a specialist group for members wishing to
take their photography to the next level. By exhibiting work at National
and International level you will be competing for a place in exhibitions
along side some of the best amateur photographers in the world.
Therefore, the aim of this group is to work together as a team, in order
to push the limits of our photography to the standards required for
FIAP, PAGB and BPE distinctions. This group is a member of the Midland
Counties Photographic Federation (MCPF), affiliated to the Photographic
Alliance of Great Britain (PAGB).

DAPA,
the Best Group on Flick™|

-
This is our photography group based 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 there since 2007.

DAPA offers three more areas of interest for its members |
|
-
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.

The images that make up our annual exhibition are decided upon by the
votes counted and verified in the
Perfect Images Photo Challenge. The top
three scoring images, as voted for by our group members each week form
the foundations. In addition to this, the author of our specially
selected “Picture of the Week”, is asked to attach their work too,
rendering further support and another 52 top class images to the final
exhibition. Why not visit our iShop
for Book and CD sales from this years exhibition.

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.
