Welcome to the National Photograpic Club in Pretoria!

We are a passionate community of photographers, from beginners to professionals, dedicated to capturing and sharing the beauty of the world through our lenses.

October 2025 Results

Our October club event focused on the beautiful world of “Close-up Photography“ by capturing a picture of a subject by focussing on the smaller detail, rather than the subject itself. It is to show only a part of a subject and not the whole subject. For example, it is not a macro shot, where the whole subject is shown, but only small detail of the subject that you bring to the attention of the viewer. Congratulations to our winning photographers whose work stood out:

🥇 Senior Winner: A bird is the heart of the orchid | Alta Oosthuizen
🥈 Junior Winner: Kom ons draf lanks die strand | Marozane van Heerden

Well done to all participants for embracing the challenge and producing such inspiring work!

A Word from our October 2025 Winners

A bird is the heart of the orchid | Alta Oosthuizen

The set subject for our club competition was “close-up”. I recently had to photograph flowers for a company and I was given an orchid. I never knew that there is a little flying bird in the middle of an orchid, until I was looking though my lens to take a picture. It was a wonderful discovery! I will, from that day, never see an orchid, without looking at the bird in the middle!!

Kom ons draf lanks die strand | Marozane van Heerden

Marozane sê: “Ons was gedurende April 2025 in Tergniet (naby Groot Brakrivier) en tydens die sonopkoms het ek op die strand geloop en my Oppo A40m selfoon by my gehad waarmee ek die foto geneem het”.
