2020-21 Season
The new season is well under way at the moment. The meetings are not what we are used to but are still a good chance to hear great speakers and to meet up with old friends, albeit virtually. We have some great talks lined up for the rest of the season so keep an eye on the programme. |

John McVie - "Traveller's Trails and Tribulations"
John is Vice-President of Dumfries Camera Club and President of the Scottish Photographic Federation with DPAGP, APAGB and EFIAP distinctions. He's predominantly a print worker and started off back in the darkroom days, although now all of his work (prints and projected images) is produced digitally. He has been a keen supporter of national and international salons and exhibitions over the years as well as exhibiting locally. "Having the attention span of a gnat" (his quote!) he tends to become easily bored so doesn't concentrate on any one particular type of photography. Instead he'll have a go at most subjects and techniques and particularly enjoy working on panels of pictures based on a theme. Since retiring, however, he's had the opportunity to travel fairly widely to a range of places he had never previously dreamt of to further his hobby e.g Cuba, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Cambodia, Burma, China.and India. In September 2017 he undertook a trip to the Hill Tribes of North Vitenam and Halong Bay, and most recently (February 2020) he travelled to Recife in Brazil for the build up to Carnival.
