Digital Print Circle
This circle was formed as the Digital Imaging Circle (CDI) in 1998, with the object of encouraging members to explore the possibilities of Digital Imaging, which was a minority interest at that time.
It started with 6 members 4 of whom are still active in the circle. The first few rounds contained a number of manipulated images showing creative ideas and this continues through to the current round.
In 2009 after much discussion it was decided, as so many photographers were now using digital, that a circle to promote digital imaging was no longer required. However most of the other circles had introduced rules that severely restricted the amount of digital manipulation that could be applied to images entered in the circles to that which could be achieved in traditional darkroom. As the circle had always encouraged creative and manipulated images and wished to do so it was decided to rename it the Digital Printing Circle (CDP).
The circle accepts both colour and monochrome images the only condition being that you print them yourself. Currently it has 10 members and the rounds always contain an interesting mix of images, some obviously highly manipulated, or others which appear straight but have considerable amounts of adjustments made.
The circle welcomes new members, we ask however -
