Morton Photographic Society is celebrating over 45 years existence in Carlisle, the most northern city of North west England . . . and being situated on the edge of the Lake District and only a short distance from Scotland with its rolling landscapes, Carlisle is bound to attract large numbers of people just wanting to record these marvelous vistas.

Morton Photographic Society are a small group of these enthusiasts, who meet every Thursday evening at 7.30 (during their season - September to April) to share their experiences, friendship, ideas and just generally socialise with like minded people.

We believe this socialising is a natural progression within our chosen hobby and a way of getting more from our hobby. As well as providing entertainment and, for those who want it, extra skills in the art of photography. Here at Morton we believe it's not so much about the equipment that takes the photograph - but more the end result of the finished picture that means the most . . . and as a club, we will help with knowledge from past experiences to assist members to get that great end result.
