The exhibition opened by Sian Brown – Head of Collections at Museum Sheffield - is the society’s first public exhibition it has been able to organise since November 2019 due to the Covid-19 lockdown.

This has been possible due to the dedication of member Linda Jackson, assisted by Mike Smith and John Scholey.

The key feature of this exhibition is to give members the opportunity to display a panel of their images without any judging or selection involvement, and can embrace a wide range of contemporary photographic styles, including landscapes, portraits, wildlife, urban, macro and creative images in both colour and black and white.
