Portfolio Group

Society committee member, Phil Smith, runs a digital portfolio group which is open to all society members and is FREE!!

"The group is going from strength to strength, all the members in the group are very keen and I hardly have to remind them to submit their images, they really enjoy taking part . ." Phil Smith

All the group’s images can be seen in the Electronic Portfolio Group gallery which can be accessed via the Society Galleries section below.
